2 weeks ago | whattoexpect.com | Marygrace Taylor

After working with a doula for the delivery of her first two children, Elise Slade knew she wanted that personalized support the third time around.

If you're breastfeeding and your supply isn't as high as you'd like it to be, power pumping can help. The pumping method, which involves expressing breast milk in several short, almost back-to-back sessions, taps into the supply-and-demand nature of milk production — sending your body the signal to make more.

3 weeks ago | wellandgood.com | Stefanie Weiss |Jessica Fields |Marygrace Taylor |Jamey Powell

The moon remains in Gemini, but if yesterday felt fun, your daily horoscope is (sadly) far less chill today. With harsh squares to Saturn and Venus and Mercury still retrograde, communication could be a bit challenging. We might overthink and then accidentally overshare, because Gemini energy can present as nervous energy. If you feel any anxiety, try closing your eyes and taking a few deep breaths, entirely filling your lungs, and exhale slowly and gently.
