Today is and the perfect time for these reminders:

There is no prerequisite for self-compassion and no mistake greater than our love.

Do you have a regular self-compassion practice? Is there anything you find hard or confusing?

I am grateful from self-compassion training over a decade ago and continued readings and trainings for my Compassion Fatigue Recertification.

But most importantly I'm so grateful for this lifeline in my own life and being able to share it with countless clients.👇

"These findings suggest that macronutrient composition in colostrum may adapt based on infant size at birth, even when gestational age is similar. Further research is needed to understand the implications for early infant feeding and metabolism."

Our bodies are amazing, we literally make milk that is exactly what our babies need, milk that is in fact perfect for our babies"

Although colostrum and mature milk are well studied, less is known about how colostrum composition varies across different birthweight categories in term infants.

This cross-sectional study (N = 252) compared colostrum collected on postpartum day 2 from individuals who delivered term infants classified as small (SGA), appropriate (AGA), or large (LGA) for gestational age.

Results showed:
🔹 Higher protein content in colostrum from the SGA and LGA groups compared to AGA
🔹 Higher carbohydrate content in the LGA group compared to AGA
🔹 No differences in fat or energy content

Multivariate analysis confirmed that SGA and LGA status were independently associated with higher protein levels, and LGA status was also associated with higher carbohydrate levels.

These findings suggest that macronutrient composition in colostrum may adapt based on infant size at birth, even when gestational age is similar. Further research is needed to understand the implications for early infant feeding and metabolism.

35% of Canadian Moms exclusively breastfed up to 6 months in 2017-2018. Breastfeeding is hard. We need support from our community especially in the first month post partum. The main reason for stopping is low milk supply.

Support should be easy to access. Reach out to an IBCLC prenatally or post partum. 🥰

Breastfeeding has many health, economic and environmental benefits for both the infant and pregnant individual. Due to these benefits, the World Health Organization and Health Canada recommend exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of ...

Strollerfit isn’t just a walk in the park (though we do that too!). This energizing, circuit-style class weaves together cardio, strength, and endurance—using body weight, resistance bands, dumbbells, and even your baby—as we move through the park together.
