One of the weirdest moments of parenting is waking up one day and realizing your baby isn’t a “baby” anymore.

One of the most common questions parents ask when researching formula (especially ones who have nursed or pumped for some time) is: What formula is closest to breast milk? I know I did.

I pushed myself to breastfeed because it felt like the natural approach and what’s strongly encouraged when you leave the hospital.
