💫 Weird but True: Breastmilk Edition 💫

Breastfeeding isn’t just food it’s science straight out of a superhero comic. 🦸‍♀️

👉 Your breastmilk actually contains living stem cells that can become ANY type of cell in the human body. Heart, brain, skin 😊you name it. Mind. Blown. 🤯

👉 And that’s not all… every drop is like liquid medicine 💊 custom made by your body for YOUR baby, changing from feed to feed to meet their needs.

So the next time someone says, “It’s just milk,” remind them: nope, it’s pure magic. ✨

scientists have confirmed breastmilk is more than food. it’s alive.

your body makes medicine.
real time protection.
immune cells. stem cells. healing messengers.

when your baby is sick, your milk changes.
when they grow, it evolves.

no lab can match that.
no formula can copy it.

this isn’t just breastfeeding
it’s your body doing something extraordinary.

you’re not *just* feeding.
you’re protecting. healing. building.

be proud of that 🥹
because your body is doing more than you know

Breastfeeding is predominantly a right-brained activity.

The right side of the brain is associated with creativity, instinct, visual imagery, intuition, spatial abilities, non-literal thinking, face recognition and imagination. The left side of the brain in contrast is concerned with written and spoken language, logical decision making, mathematical calculations and numbers, reasoning, analysis, order and sense of time.

Day-to-day life for most of us requires us to employ our left-brains - numbers, data, schedules, times, organising, planning. But learning to breastfeed requires a different set of skills, most of which fall into the realm of the right brain. It can take time to adjust to this new way of being, learning, feeling and intuiting. Be patient with yourself. Be curious about what it is to be postpartum, and the challenges that breastfeeding presents for you. It's not easy (easier for some people than for others) and can take time to adapt to. That's ok. And normal.

Providing pumped breastmilk is breastfeeding! There are a few differences between direct breastfeeding and providing pumped breastmilk, but your milk contains all the nutrients regardless of the "container" it comes from. I wish the US prioritized maternity leave, I wish those who struggled to get a good latch got help, I wish direct breastfeeding wasn't traumatic for some, I wish for whatever reasons moms decide to pump they find support. It isn't easy. Keep on pumpin'

there’s something in breastmilk that kills cancer cells.

it’s called HAMLET, a compound found naturally in human milk.
in lab tests, it’s destroyed over 40 types of cancer cells…
without harming the healthy ones.

we don’t fully understand it yet.
but what we do know?

your body isn’t just feeding your baby.
it’s creating something scientists are still trying to understand.
something powerful.
something protective.
something only you can give.

breastfeeding is more than milk.
it’s magic.
it’s medicine.
it’s you.

share if that makes you feel even prouder to be a breastfeeding mama ❤️

Recently we asked the Boobingit community to share their words of wisdom for a chance to be featured in a special Boobingit quote 💬💗

This beautiful reminder comes from Boobingit mama, Hayley Michelle :
✨ “Breastfeeding isn’t natural like breathing. It’s natural like walking – it takes time, patience, and sometimes a few stumbles.” 🫶🏻

Breastfeeding is a journey of learning and growth for both you and your baby. There will be challenges, but with time, patience, and support you’ll find your way. 💕

🌈 Breastmilk: The Original Superpower 🤱✨

Did you know…

💡 It actually contains living stem cells the same kind scientists use in medical research.
💡 Its flavor shifts based on what you eat (yes, your baby might get a hint of garlic bread or spicy curry 👀).
💡 It can show up in wild colors blue, green, pink, or golden like a rainbow 🌈 in liquid form.

It’s not “just milk.” It’s living, changing, magical fuel made specifically for your baby’s needs.

👏 Moms, your body is out here doing science-fiction-level things on a Tuesday afternoon.
