Your house doesn’t need to be a 🚪 revolving door when you’re postpartum.

This time is about:
✨ Resting
✨ Recovering
✨ Learning to feed and care for your baby
✨ Protecting your little bubble

Visitors can be wonderful, but it’s more than okay to set boundaries around who comes, when they come, and how long they stay, so you don’t feel overwhelmed.

And remember 👉 helpers are always welcome. Those are the people you say yes to.

Stay tuned later this week for a post on the difference between visitors vs. helpers 👀

World Breastfeeding Week 🍼🤍
You heard from Jamie earlier this week, and now it’s my turn—hi, Emily here 👋
With my stories, I’ll keep reminding you that every baby is different, every parent is different, and every feeding journey is different.

Here’s mine 👇

Baby #1:
She came out ready to breastfeed. I used an ounce of formula my first night home because she was crying and I was crying 😭 The next morning, my milk came in. I had cracked, bleeding ni***es and real pain, but thought I had to just push through. Eventually, I learned how to get a deep latch, healed up, and started to actually enjoy feeding her.
She had severe reflux and, looking back, probably an undiagnosed CMPI. Around 11 months, we were invited on a trip to Italy 🇮🇹 (without baby!) and I didn’t want to pump abroad. So, I weaned, moved to bottles of breastmilk and formula, and wrapped up at 1 year.

Baby #2:
A delight ☀️ No reflux, happier baby, better sleeper—and this time, breastfeeding didn’t hurt. I breastfed her everywhere: walking around playgrounds, in public without a cover (too hot for me 🔥). I pumped in the car to and from work, combo fed when I needed to, and just made it work. At 10 months, my period came back and my supply tanked 😩 I was bummed, but also really grateful for the time we had.

Baby #3:
My unexpected plot twist 🌀 My milk came in strong, latch was easy… but her symptoms were not. Severe eczema, congestion, nonstop crying during and after feeds. After a rough day (no food, just black coffee ☕), I was spiraling about trying an elimination diet. Jamie helped me through that moment. I tried hypoallergenic formula for 72 hours while I pumped—and just like that, new baby. Happy, calm, thriving. I chose not to do the elimination diet and weaned fully by 6–8 weeks.

So between breastfeeding, pumping at work, combo feeding, and choosing formula—I’ve done it all. And you know what?
They all grew. They all thrived.
They’re happy. They’re healthy.

Here’s your reminder from your NAPS nurses:
However you're feeding your baby today, you're doing a damn good job 👏🏻 No judgment here. Just support. Always ❤️

World Breastfeeding Week…

…aka the perfect time to remind you: every baby is different, every parent is different, and every feeding journey is different.

Here’s mine 👇

Baby #1 came out ready to nurse, and I was ready to try. I used a little formula in the hospital until my milk came in, then breastfed exclusively for 9 months. But then I got pregnant again, and my supply tanked overnight, so I switched to formula. Then I miscarried. And honestly? Of all the things I was sad and angry about in that moment…the one that hit the hardest was losing my breastfeeding journey because of that pregnancy. That one still hurts. ❤️

Baby #2 was my curveball (still is most days 🤪). Tongue tie. Screaming. Gassy. Fussing at the breast. I tried a ni**le shield, I pumped, I cried in the dark at 2am wondering if she had a dairy allergy or if I was doing something wrong. It didn’t magically get better, but slowly, around 4 months, we hit our stride. I nursed her for about 10 months after that, but those early months nearly broke me.

Baby #3 was my redemption tour. Not because I was determined to breastfeed, but because my first two had taught my that no two children were the same, and I was determined to not fall victim to the comparison, and just let this journey be what it would be! She latched like a dream. I had oversupply. Things felt easy. Then she got pneumonia, and we ended up in the hospital. My supply tanked and never fully came back. So I combo fed for 10 months before switching to formula, and there wasn’t ounce of worry, shame, guilt or sadness that time around.

I’ve fed my babies every which way, and you know what? They all grew. They all thrived.

But more importantly I grew! And I did my best with what I had in each journey.

So this week (or any time!), if you’re nursing, pumping, supplementing, switching to formula, or hanging on by a thread, just know: you’re doing an amazing job. And I’m proud of you 💪🏼

There’s no room for judgment here. Just support.

So this World Breastfeeding Week, remember: Mind Your Own Tits…and let us mind yours 🤪 with judgment-free, evidence-based support!
