Answer
Winter Redd has expressed some discomfort with the term "rainbow baby". She feels that it can be problematic because it might imply that the child born after a loss (the "rainbow baby") somehow compensates for the previous loss. For instance, she had a miscarriage before her son Brannan was stillborn, and she doesn't see him as a "storm" or a problem that needed a "rainbow" to follow.
While she does use the term "rainbow baby" for its succinctness and widespread understanding, especially during her podcast, she prefers to say "my baby after my loss". She acknowledges that her views might not be popular and invites others to share their thoughts.
