I think it's important that people know, and that's why I started sharing, like the information sometimes on facebook, because I don't think that people realize how common it is.
Motherhood is a rollercoaster, and Brandi's story is no exception. As a mother to a lively toddler named Asher, Brandi has always been refreshingly open about the ups and downs she faces.

Despite her doubts, she decided to give it a try, and everything seemed to be going smoothly until her son developed colic.
Suddenly, what started as a beautiful bonding experience turned into a stressful ordeal, making her feel trapped by the demands of breastfeeding. But the challenges didn't stop there. Brandi also shares her concerns about Asher's potential speech delay, grappling with the anxiety of whether to seek therapy and intervention.

She recounts the heartache of losing a baby just days after celebrating the pregnancy with her family.

Through every twist and turn, Brandi's story is a testament to the resilience of parents everywhere.
