  • Weaning- Are you F&&king Serious Mum?

    So you mean to tell me, no more boob? That's what we envisioned our weaning journey to be like, our babies puppy eyes staring at us, guilt riddled brain cells and even more sleepless nights because what will we do if we don't breastfeed our babies to sleep anymore? 

    Weaning, another chapter of motherhood that did to seem to be as daunting as thought! Today, we tell you how we ended our breastfeeding journeys, more uplifting and easier than you think!
