Sagittal section through a 16 week old female foetus, revealing the internal organs. At this stage it measures around 14 centimetres from head to rump. The brain (white) is surrounded by the still soft bones of the skull. The spinal cord runs from the brain, down through the vertebrae of the backbone. 🥺

breastfeeding mama whales are amazing !

whale mamas literally nurse their babies in the ocean, no bottles. no breaks. no latch drama.

their milk is thick like cream cheese, nearly 50% fat, so it clings underwater without losing a drop.

their babies gain up to 200 pounds a day.
just from milk.
just from their mama.

no sleep training. no feeding schedules.
just instinct, connection, and deep-sea cuddles.

i bet no one’s asking her when she’s moving her baby to seal milk 🫠🫠

Net ontvangen😍😍😍

Wij hebben bij levensboom de placenta’s van onze twee dochters laten omvormen tot prachtige kunstwerken. Ik vind het zo waardevol dat deze eerste verbinding, de plek waar hun leven begon, op zo’n mooie manier geëerd wordt.

Bij mijn zoontje werd de placenta in het ziekenhuis weggegooid. Ik heb hem nooit gezien en wist toen niet dat ik hierin een keuze had. Dat maakt het extra bijzonder dat we de placenta’s van onze dochters wel mochten bewaren en laten maken.

Dankjewel voor dit bijzondere, tastbare stukje van onze kinderen. 🤍

Green burials are cost efficient and good for the earth.

The earth opened her arms and welcomed a daughter home. 🍃

A natural burial at Eloise Woods, just outside Austin, Texas. 🌼

No embalming, only gentle care.

Her body was bathed with lavender soap, wrapped in soft bamboo fabric, and adorned with flowers and greenery.

Surrounded by love, her family helped lower her into the earth and returned the soil by hand.

A reshare.
Don't forget, this is a version of a 'parent led' latching approach. You can also let baby self latch which works well in a laid back position.

Tummy to tummy is my favorite position for feeding babies.
