Pleased to introduce the reason(s) why its has been a little quiet around here lately. Our third boy will keep closed until January 2022. Until then, remember every day you give your baby breastmilk is a bonus 🤍🤍

No one ever warned her -

About how much she'd miss.
While doing the work that she loves.

And no one ever told her,

How hard it might feel,
Putting her dreams on pause,
To nurture her world in her lap.

And no one ever mentioned,

That loving her baby,
Might not always equal
'Loving every moment' of motherhood.

And no one ever admitted,

That mothers cry too.
When their world feels so new,
Just like their baby's does.

And because nobody told her,

She thought she couldn't say it.

So she instead spoke her secrets,
In every moment she was alone, but not.

In the quiet hours, she whispered,

Before this, I was someone else, and I miss her so very much.

In the lonely moments, she spoke,

I don't want to be anywhere else, but it's hard to not have a minute alone.

In the moments when everything else was on pause, she shared

Someday I'll get back to those other things I love; I can't wait to show you who else I am.

And in the moments when she was missing, she softly assured,

I love you so much, and though this is so very hard, I'll never regret a minute with you.

And as she told her story to her baby -

The one she thought she couldn't say,
She began to understand the truth about motherhood. The one that no one had told her:

That it is a complicated but lovely journey, full of moments of missing, but lifetimes of love. Where there is boundless happiness, but also some sorrow. And that it is always, always okay to feel both.

And she realized that there was nothing wrong with her story - Because although she hadn't heard one like it before, it was honest. And it was real.
And she was free, and she was happy.

And her baby was happy, too.
To be loved by a mother who had so much to share. But most of all, love.💜

I’m a fence sitter when it comes to oral restrictions, preferring to assess each baby at the breast and off.
This is an excellent video of pre and post release tongue elevation.

Your breastfeeding journey is not about reaching the destination of your once imagined goals. It is about navigating the pathless woods, and curiously figuring out where it leads.

As parents, and as a society, we cannot continue to think of breastfeeding in terms of pass/fail.

It 'counts', if you breastfed but didn't make it to your baby's first birthday like you planned.

It 'counts', if you tried to breastfeed but chose to/wanted to/needed to bottle feed instead.

It 'counts' if a combination of breast/bottle/expressed milk/formula was the magic recipe for you and your baby.

It 'counts' if breastfeeding was easy, or hard, or any experience in between.

It 'counts' if your breastfeeding journeys for each of your children look different.

It 'counts' if your breastfeeding journey looks different than your friends, your sister's, or your own mom's.

It counts.

And what's more, after you carefully took into consideration all of the factors that played a role in your breastfeeding journey (including your own wellbeing), YOU decided what was right for YOU and YOUR baby.

No one gave you a map. No one told you what obstacles you'd face, or which resources you'd need. You journeyed through the pathless woods and found your unique destination. And that is a beautiful, and undeniable success.💜
