so i’m 23 weeks pp now and things are still kinda crazy. my lo is eating so much more now, around 30 oz of formula a day. i’ve been tracking everything in careclinic, being able to add a short note to each entry is helping me see patterns.

like, i noticed my milk supply dips when i’m stressed abt daycare costs. which, btw, are still killing me. does anyone else feel like they’re barely scraping by?
