Always a robust group and it always ends too soon!!!! …we get caught up in visiting and catching up, and helping with breastfeeding, and eating cookies, and before we know it, group is over. πŸ˜• Sometimes it feels once a week is not frequent enough! πŸ₯° Today, we had 11 mamas with their babies, (9 returning & 2 new)!! πŸ‘πŸ’— We had a 3-day old baby! 😳 …who now holds the record for youngest attendee- and our previous record holder (who first came at age 6-days old), was there walking around in her blue jeans now newly 1-year old!!!! 😍
We absolutely love meeting new mamas, we absolutely love our regulars, and we LOVE being part of your motherhood journey.πŸ₯° Truly, it is us who are blessed. 🫢 See you next Friday!! πŸ₯°β™₯οΈπŸ€—

πŸ’› It all about oxytocin!! We all have it, and it does soooo many things!!! …including ejecting milk from the breasts!! Trigger it when pumping or separated from baby (by looking at pictures/videos of baby), and get more milk expressed!! πŸ’ͺπŸ™Œ It’s science! - and it works!

When you breastfeed, your body releases oxytocin the same hormone that helps you fall in love, calm down, and bond deeply. It’s the reason your shoulders drop, your heart slows, and sometimes you tear up mid-feed for no reason at all. It’s your body’s way of saying you’re safe, your baby’s safe, and this moment matters.
That surge of warmth and peace isn’t β€œjust hormones.” It’s nature’s built-in reminder that connection is powerful medicine. πŸ€±πŸ’—
