Because babies’ rate of growth slows between 1 and 6 months, daily milk intake remains remarkably consistent during this time. 👼

PARENTING HACK: When you're exhausted and your kids want to PLAY PLAY PLAY, choose the game "What's on my butt" -- a game where the parent sprawls facedown on the couch and has to guess what objects the kid is setting down on their butt. 😆 A toy dinosaur? An orange? Who cares, you’re lying down.
