Made some edits 4+ years later with an almost 5 year old Evie and new baby sis, Indie Bo. Something about postpartum makes me CRAVE THESE CUPS. It's likely because they're nutrient dense, energy packed, and fat-filled. I made some tweaks to upgrade them, and I hope you love them as much as I do! [...]
