With my first born I remember feeling like I was in prison since we exclusively breastfed for 17 months! After having my second child I was determined to build a stash to allow myself freedom from my baby when needed!

Here are some tips to building a milk stash:

1. FIRST, know your “why”. I was determined to pump AND feed as much as I could within the first 12 weeks just to give me freedom for the next 9 months to follow. I also wanted to stop breastfeeding sooner this time around. I often see breast milk stash’s glorified for the wrong reasons. If you don’t need/want one that is OKAY. And if you do I’m here to help you get there.

2. START EARLY. As soon as my milk came in I began to pump. I kick started my body into an oversupply allowing me to collect thousands of ounces of milk in just a short period of time. I fed on demand as well. It’s a job! But was worth it for me.

3. FIND a pump method/schedule that works for you! I would always feed my baby on one side and pump the opposite breast at the same time. I did this with almost every feed and that’s where 90% of my milk stash came from. ONE BOOB! Saved me so much time.

4. INVEST in a good PUMP! I love my “big mama” spectrum & I use my momcozy wearables when I need to but my hands free/wireless pump is NOT my go to. Get a good old and faithful hospital grade plug in the wall to ensure your boobs are emptying. You can rent one from the hospital for pretty cheap and those are great too! I have done it before.

5. EVERY ounce counts. Some pumps I only got 1-2 ounces and you bet I saved it. Think about it, 2 ounces a day 3x a day is more than enough for a bottle if not two. Collect what your body gives and store it!

6. FEED your baby not your freezer. If you find yourself getting lost in this then it’s best to preserve your mental health and ultimately pull back. You will thank yourself and your baby will thank you because he/she has a happier mama. One thing I did differently my second journey was not stress. You will see a huge difference in your milk production.

These are just a few ✨Follow me for more milk tips!

My daughter isn’t scared of the world because she was blessed with a big brother that makes her feel so comfortable in it. He celebrates her, encourages her and even redirects her when she gets something wrong.

Watching them do life together makes me feel so good about their future. Mom and dad will not always be here but they will have one another 🤍

If you’re thinking about trying for the boy, do it 💙 If you’re thinking about trying for the girl, do it 💖 if you’re just contemplating growing your family period and have the means to do so, do it 💖💖💖, 💙💙💙 siblings, no matter the gender, are a blessing.

July 🤍

Much needed family vacation time before football season, our busiest (and favorite) time of the year!

From museums and movie nights to family BBQs, birthday parties, date nights, nonstop flights, and endless trips to the park and pool, this was exactly what our family needed! My babies are going to miss their daddy so much (as will I), but we’re so grateful for the memories we get to make before the season begins.

Now it’s time for college game days, crisp fall evenings, and cozy cuddles 🤍 This season always stretches us the most yet strengthens us. It reminds us just how important a strong foundation is.

So thankful for this sweet life. Same time next year baby ? 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒☀️🤍
