Yall, I just read this new report from the cdc and I have thoughts.

I know the internet wants short videos. I can't talk about anything for less than 3 minutes, and that is a big challenge, lol. Hope this helps explain the lactating breast a little bit.

I have seen this image shared many times recently. Y'all....come on. This is AI and not very good. I appreciate the sentiment that it is really cool to stop and think about the fact that actual milk full of live cells and a zillion other good things is actually MADE in your body. But this is not what it is like. And sharing this just perpetuates misunderstanding of the our amazing bo***es. Swipe to the 2nd pic to see what that account suspects our pelvis looks like - also, very weird. Just say no to bad AI my friends.

I wouldn't birth without a doula. Period. Not an option. Nurses are too busy and my husband is too much of a husband. someone dedicated to caring for you and knows what the heck they are doing, yes! ITS A DOULA.

Just thinking about you out there... feeling like you are falling behind. It's ok to do less. In fact, we must do less to thrive. Today, try to do less. Slow down and have some contact naps.

Pump parts need replacement. This is called the duckbill and they wear out. If they don't close up and create a seal, then you will not have your normal suction. Parts typically need to be replaced every 1-3 months depending on how much use they get. Yall, your milk production is important. Just invest in the supplies you need. This is not the place to be thrifty. Buy extra parts so you always have a clean set and replace those duckbills, membranes and tubes every once in a while.

We have a little Food Pantry on our front porch. This is open to everyone. Feel free to stop by and take anything you can use or drop off anything you are able to share. For now, it's a tiny cabinet.. but it gets the job done. Please share with anyone who could benefit. 15516 Lemoyne Blvd.

We have worked with quiet a few Keesler Federal employees and the employer offered insurance covers lactation care (both prenatal and after baby arrives) with $0 out of pocket cost. So if you work for Keesler and are having a baby- don't face feeding challenges alone. We are here for you.

Dads matter too. Supporting fathers supports mothers—and strengthens the whole family.
