breastfeeding tips

Confession: During my twin postpartum journey, I found a 'weird' hack that saved my sanity - sleeping in my next day's clothes 🤫After my evening shower, I'd put on comfy leggings and a soft shirt (i was already wearing my breastfeeding bra for comfort) instead of PJs. Why? Because trying to breastfeed twins AND get dressed in the morning was just... impossible. The day would start, and I'd still be in my PJs at 3pm (IYKYK 😅).This small change meant I could focus on what mattered in those bleary-eyed morning feeds - my babies.Is it unconventional? Maybe. Did it work for me? Absolutely.Because here's the truth: postpartum looks different for everyone. Whatever helps you survive and thrive in those early days - that's YOUR choice. No judgment, just support 💕#postpartumjourney #twinmom #momhacks #newmomlife #motherhoodunfiltered #realmomlife #normalizenormalpostpartum #postpartumhack #postpartumtips #postpartumdoula #fourthtrimesterhacks #newmom #newborndays

🤍 Your journey into motherhood came with a built-in superpower: your intuition.

Trust it. That inner knowing about what your baby needs? Follow it.Your maternal instincts aren't random - they're your internal GPS, carefully tuned to YOUR baby's unique needs.
