This week was a hard one. Hard for the world.
My heart hurts. My head hurts.
I have been an ally to PoC and minorities all my life. People are just people. Period. Every single life is precious.
Please, talk to minorities, hear their experiences. Check your privilege.
Teach your children to be better.

I saw a post that said “you can’t be a full spectrum doula if you don’t believe that ” and I agree... I just can’t find the post to tribute the words right now.

I can feel the anger, I’m angry. I can feel the sadness, I’m sad. I can feel the hopelessness, I feel it too. How are we STILL dealing with issues that talked about in the 1960’s!?!

We must do better. We must create change. We must lower the infant mortality rate in PoC. We must create a safe world for men/women and children of all races. We must.

Stress and anxiety show in many ways. Such as crying, yelling, easy to frustrate, the shakes, eye/muscle ticks and, but not limited to insomnia. Please seek medical help or even help from a loved one if you notice any of these symptoms. ❤️

Happy Mother’s Day to my mom. My best friend, my guru of all the things, my sounding board, my doula, my mommo, mommy, mama, Mawm, and my kids Loopie.
How did I get so lucky?

I hope all the first Mothers Day celebraters, all the veterans, all the step moms, mother in laws, those who fill in as moms and all other mother figures have a great day! You keep the world turning! ❤️

To those who are mourning or missing a mom. My heart extends to you as well.

Postpartum takes on all shapes of emotions. It’s important to know that you are not alone.

Since 2016, the world has recognized Maternal Mental Health Day as a day to raise awareness of perinatal mental health challenges. A time to make sure everyo...

Give a follow for more great posts like this!! .Reposted from : 🌟Feeds got shorter - Your baby is stronger and more efficient at draining your breast and your milk supply is in sync with your baby⠀
⠀
🌟Not Leaking- Your breasts are no longer leaking breast milk. It is normal for leaking to reduce as your breasts and your baby become more efficient at feeding.⠀
⠀
🌟Milk is wrong color or too thin - Human milk is often blueish but varies in color depending on the foods that the mom eats. These variants do not affect the quality of the milk and are NOT harmful to baby. If you have milk that is lower in fat than your baby most likely will take a larger volume in order to get enough calories. ⠀
⠀
🌟Frequent Feeds- Your baby needs frequent feeds. A healthy baby may be feeding frequently or cluster feeding or going off a growth spurt.⠀
⠀
🌟You don’t pump very much milk- Pumping and breastfeeding are surprisingly unrelated. Your baby removes milk in a completely different way. Plenty of women with healthy milk supplies fail to pump much at all. Their bodies can’t be tricked into eliciting the milk ejection reflex (or ‘letdown’). Plus pumps don’t always work. Suction goes as valves get old.⠀
⠀
🌟You cannot feel your ‘letdown’ reflex (milk ejection reflex)- Some women feel an electrical tingle at the point the milk lets down. Some don’t. It is common for the strong let down reflex to fade.⠀
⠀
🌟Softer Breasts- Your breasts feel softer again. The excessive fullness in early days is because your breasts haven’t yet worked out how much milk to produce in response to your baby’s needs. They start by over producing before eventually settling down to a real supply and demand cycle.⠀
⠀
🌟Baby Wakes up a lot - Plenty of young babies feed with similar intervals day and night. Plenty continue waking every 2-3 hours during the night.⠀
⠀
▶️”The only thing that can truly show that mom has low supply is baby’s weight gain and nappies. That’s it. “You may hear people say that ‘babies should be settled after a feed’ but some babies get wind or need to poo or have reflux or wake up and want second helpings. Let’s b
