It's okay to want to keep your baby close.

12/10/2023

“I often see pictures on social media of freezers full of breast milk. The caption always reads something like “thankful for my freezer stash” or “stocked up to go back to work”. I wanted to show moms what a going back to work stash normally looks like.

It seems as though no one is posting about their completely normal and adequate “freezer stash”. This is 16 oz of milk, and it is completely adequate for a moms first day back to work.

The average baby takes around 1-1.5oz per hour while mom is away. This means that if baby is at daycare for 9 hours the maximum amount baby should need is about 13oz. This also leaves a 3oz cushion should the parents get stuck in traffic or if some is spilled.

If mom is pumping to make up missed feedings while away from baby she will get what she needs for the next day. Preparing to leaving baby is hard enough without the pressure to fill a deep freezer.”

~ Whitney Callahan

There is no right or wrong here. small stash, huge stash, no stash...We are all doing the absolute best we can and you should be proud of yourself for that! More often than not we see the huge freezer stash pictures, I thought it was important to see the other side of that. ❤️❤❤

Breastfeeding can help soothe your toddler/child when she gets hurt, feels sad, or is sick. Toddlers and older kiddos breastfeed to check in with mom throughout the day and reconnect. There is also that ongoing immune & nutritional boost!

Positioning at the breast is not a worry at this point! Older nurslings can pretty much latch on anywhere! 😉

What is your favorite thing about nursing beyond babyhood?

05/06/2023

Having a new baby is a special time to pause the rest of life.

👉It’s normal to want to focus on your baby.
👉It’s normal to feed frequently
👉It’s normal to have colostrum until day 3 when milk comes in.
👉It’s normal to not want people to hold your baby in the early weeks.

Breastfeeding is meant to keep you together and resting.
