❤️🙏 yes 🙏❤️

We only feel we have to work for love if somewhere along the way, we learned we weren’t enough.
But when a mother feels she is enough, when she is supported to meet herself fully on the path to meeting her child, something powerful happens.

She gains space.✨
Capacity.
Soft, wide open space to wrap her little one in unconditional, unbridled, wholehearted love.
The kind of love that whispers to a child, you are always enough.

Because in that journey, where one becomes two in the most dynamic and yet subtle of ways—a woman finds herself standing on a platform strong enough to carry truth.
Her truth.
Even when it runs against the grain.

When she’s validated in listening to her own knowing,
when she owns the path as hers
she lays a foundation for boundaries that resonate from the deep.
The kind that feel like integrity.

From that space, a child grows in a love that doesn’t need to be earned.
They grow in arms, literal or metaphorical, that have always known them.
The arms of the one they came through,
and who keeps holding them, still.💕

“Did you know that Mayan families in Guatemala, consider bedsharing to be the only way to parent through the night?

Did you know that in Japan, breastfeeding and shared sleep (soine) is seen as a means to sustain connection through touch or ‘skinship’ between mother and child?

Did you know that In Bali, babies’ feet don’t touch the ground until 3 months of age?

Yet, we’re told in western culture that our babies need to sleep on their own, that we need to get our babies on a schedule and that we can ‘spoil’ them if we pick them up ‘too much’.

One of my favourite cross-cultural pieces of research to share to help us challenge the mainstream parenting narrative, comes from Dr. Charlotte Peterson. She spent forty years traveling the globe to live with local families and witness parenting practices in peaceful cultures. She observed that in Bali, babies are seen as a blessing.

At three months of age, there is a ceremony called Tiga Bulan or “three moons”. It is not until the celebration of this ceremony that a new baby’s feet touch the earth. Until that point, the baby is considered “of the heavens” and is constantly held in someone’s arms.

After the ceremony, the baby is considered “of the earth”. Although a baby can be put down and “out of arms” at this point, Charlotte has rarely seen a Balinese infant or toddler not being held or closely watched, by her parents or family members, within those first three months.

For me, it feels validating to gain a different perspective, reminding us that our instincts to hold our babies close are ancient, wise and innately human. I seek out research like this as it allows me to better understand the difference between social norms & what’s best for our babies.”
