How can women prepare prenatally for the shift that is coming?

It's not just about prenatal doctors appointments and babyshowers and baby registries.

Remembering to take care of the mama, who needs to be taken care of in order to take care of baby, is something our culture has forgotten.

A mother's celebration is a way for a pregnant mama's community to shower her with all the good things!

Ceremony can be woven in, yummy foods shared, gifts and massages given.

It might feel selfish or too much for woman to request this for herself. I know it felt that way for me but I trusted and asked anyway. It wasn't easy but we created a short and sweet afternoon amongst the business of life.

If you need help coming up with a plan for an event like this let me know 💌

Breastfeeding doesn't come easily to everyone.

It's easy to think so though!

With my first baby 5 yrs ago, I was determined to do it all myself and I didn't have resources to figure out how to even share some of the responsibility with others.

Some may think that it should be solely the mothers job to feed the baby but that doesn't work for every family. It didn't work for my mental health.
I ended up so burnt out, touched out, and dealing with serious insomnia.

My husband always encouraged us to be more resourced this time around with our feeding.
I didn't know how we were going to do it but I kept my options open. Fortunately we had the help of
We have had a beautiful and sometimes challenging 6 months of exclusive breastfeeding (navigating cracked ni***es, tongue/lip ties, sickness etc)

Now baby Sol will be with Matt while I go to work!

Matt is excited to give me a break and step up into a new kind of responsibility with our babies than he has had in the past.

And I have to trust him.
I have to let go of my control 😅

If you ever have questions about breastfeeding or pumping I'm here as a resource for my community 💫

Life is so busy that it's easy to get caught up in everything but the spiritual and physical connection with growing baby!

Build in special time each day to talk to and feel baby. They are listening and I believe they can feel what you feel.

Are you worried, holding stress, unsure of the future?

Slow down, remember your breath, ask your partner for a massage or book one! Take a bath, listen to some relaxing music and cry if you need to!

You got this mama, even if it doesn't feel like it sometimes.
