🇺🇸 Breastfeeding while serving in the line of duty…a huge Thank-You to these Super Women!!! 🇺🇸🫶💪♥️🇺🇸

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. 😕 Sometimes it feels once a week is not frequent enough! 🥰 Today, we had 11 mamas with their babies, (9 returning & 2 new)!! 👏💗 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.🥰 Truly, it is us who are blessed. 🫶 See you next Friday!! 🥰♥️🤗

👩‍🍳 Today, at Group the Sarah’s will be handing out these recipe cards to all our mamas! 🥰 We want to create a Holiday Recipe Book of favorite holiday recipes from our M&C mamas!! 👏
Every Friday we will have these to hand out, please return them to us any Friday up to December 12th to make this year’s collection. 🥰 Then, at our Christmas Party (12/19), we will have them all organized in a special recipe book for every mama to look through and take pics of the recipes you’d like. 💗

🤨 With the time change and sun going down early, the Sarah's have felt a bit thrown-off lately...perhaps you can relate? We are relieved to know Friday is 1-sleep away, and we will soon see the mamas & babies that fill our hearts with joy & gladness and remind us that we have the best job ever. 🥰 See you soooooon!! - New & returning mamas & your adorable, precious babies, tomorrow!!!😍

This about sums it up!? 😅

💛 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!! 💪🙌 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 “just hormones.” It’s nature’s built-in reminder that connection is powerful medicine. 🤱💗

🍁 We had a cozy group today of 5 mamas, (4 returning & 1 new)! ☺️ We hear some mamas/babies are sick and stayed home today. 🫶 Our M&C mamas are always very considerate of each other, and stay home when under the weather. ♥️ We appreciate this and although we greatly miss your presence, we know we will see you soon & look forward to catching up!! 🥰 Michelle from Community Health and Counseling Services brought crisis handouts in bags with candy & games, and joined our usual fun! We appreciate you Michelle!!! 💗 We had great conversation today, and believe it or not, ALL cookies we gone by the time the Sarah’s packed everything up! ☺️🍪 The baby snuggles and mom-to-mom conversation fills our cups each & every Friday. ♥️🥰♥️ If you are pregnant or postpartum and looking for your village… you will find it here! 💗😍🫶♥️

🍂🕘 With the recent time change and winter rolling in, many people find their mental health is negatively affected. 🫶 However, we don’t have to roll over and take it! 🤔⛄️ Mamas, be intentional about getting outdoors in the sunshine, even if you have to bundle up to do it! ☀️You are in charge of your mental health, and sometimes it means inconvenience and creativity, but do the things that matter, no matter the weather!! 💪☀️🌥️🍂🌦️☔️❄️☃️
