With Milo, I was pretty rigid and rule-oriented. With Coco, things have felt very different. I'm honestly not sure if it's confidence, exhaustion, more trust in my own intuition, or a combination of all three. But my parenting approach has completely shifted, and I like to think we're all better off for it.
I recently shared two carousels on Instagram that broke down some of these differences, and many of you said you've either made similar changes during round two, or that you're a first-time mom and posts like this remind you it’s okay to choose peace over perfection.
This week, I wanted to dive even deeper beyond those two posts and share everything I'm doing differently with my second baby (plus a few things I haven't talked about publicly yet). For those of you in the baby stage, I hope these give you permission to relax a bit. For anyone in a different stage of life, perhaps these will just make you laugh, help you reminisce, or give you some future inspiration.
Let's get into it!
But first…one thing that’s remained consistent throughout both of my pregnancies & postpartum stages: taking prenatal vitamins.
