It’s official: I’m petitioning to rename Tuesdays to Fl**ge Fitting & Breastfeeding Day. 🗓️✨Because if I have to look at another standard 24mm fl**ge and say, “we can definitely do better than this,” before 10:00 AM, it deserves its own official holiday.To everyone currently drowning in duckbill valves, silicone inserts, and fl**ges today's … I see you, I scale you, and happy FFB Day to all who celebrate. 😂
