I wanna see those funny sometimes painful nursing habits/positions!

You know what nobody tells you about breastfeeding?

It’s a full-body workout disguised as “just sitting there.”

Your body is doing the absolute most all at the same time:

• You’re burning 500+ calories a day
• You’re producing antibodies on demand
• You’re regulating your baby’s temperature, heart rate, and stress hormones
• You’re building an entire immune system from scratch
• You’re matching your milk to your baby in real time
• You’re staying mentally alert so your tiny human doesn’t karate-kick off the b**b like a baby ninja

And somehow… you’re expected to do all this while pretending you’re not running a biological marathon on zero sleep.

Breastfeeding takes energy, focus, nutrients, hydration, patience, emotional bandwidth, and straight-up superhuman stamina.

So if you feel exhausted?
Overwhelmed?
Like you’ve been hit by a truck made of hormones?

It’s not in your head.

Your body is literally keeping another human alive with bioactive liquid tailored just for them.

That’s not “just breastfeeding.”

That’s work.
That’s science.
That’s magic.
And that’s you.

Side-lying breastfeeding is one of those quiet little miracles that nobody warns you about, but once you learn it, it changes everything. It lets your body rest while your baby feeds, turning those long nights into something a little more peaceful and a lot more sustainable. It’s a lifesaver after a C-section, during cluster feeds, or when co-sleeping is part of your routine. And for so many moms, it finally makes breastfeeding feel comfortable instead of stressful. Sometimes the most supportive thing you can do as a new mom is simply find a position that lets you breathe, recover, and bond without burning yourself out.

You know what?
If you’re up in the middle of the night breastfeeding a wide-awake baby
while your “melatonin milk” is out here doing absolutely NOTHING…
you’re still doing an amazing job.
These late-night feeds aren’t for the weak. They’re for the warriors
the moms who show up tired,
half alive, hair in a bun,
heart on fire,
giving comfort only they can give.
This season is brutal and magical all at once, and even if your baby refuses to sleep after drinking the sleepiest milk on Earth, you’re still their safe place. And that matters more than anything.

You know why you’re exhausted?

Because nursing isn’t “just sitting there.”
Your body is literally:

💖 Releasing oxytocin
💉Producing antibodies
🤱Balancing your baby’s stress hormones
🌡 Regulating their temperature
🪢Matching their needs in real time
🥗Keeping a human alive with bioactive nutrients

Your brain is on high alert.
Your nervous system is constantly responding.
Your entire biology is working overtime.

Breastfeeding burns 500+ calories a day
and somehow we still treat moms like they “did nothing.”

You didn’t do nothing.
You did biology.
You did survival.
You did magic.
