Day 2 of world breastfeeding week!!

Breastfeeding is not always easy, I think there’s this common misconception that it’s just comes natural.

But it’s work, middle of the night pumping, clogged ducts, sore ni***es, thrush, tongue ties lip ties, poor latch, low supply or over supply. Oh and let’s not forget the biting -baby 🦈

Add pressure from family and friends or doctors and nurses to formula feed or the pressure to breastfeed it goes both ways.

Stressing if they are getting enough,
mentally exhausted and just wanting your body to be yours again, but sad and not wanting your journey to end. These are all valid emotions.

So I’m going to tell you right now, I see you and I’m cheering for you and You are doing a wonderful job!! 🥰

Your thoughts….

Compliant and obedient children seem great in childhood, but all of those years of obeying, not being allowed to ‘answer back’ to get their point across and eventually being too scared to confide in you, for fear of reprimand, does not make for an emotionally healthy adult 😪

Disagreements, debates, and healthy conflict may be harder on us as parents - but it makes for a much more positive future for our children.

Informed consent never looks or sounds like something already in motion. Huge red flag. True informed consent takes hold of the concepts of a conversation. One that explains risks and benefits, leaves room for questions and time to consider, and then the decision is up to the client. With the choice of No being a full one.
What have you experienced?

Shockingly, many mothers (and birth workers) do not get to witness this gradual, fascinating and critical transfusion process that occurs with delayed cord clamping.
In term infants, delayed umbilical cord clamping increases hemoglobin levels at birth and improves iron stores in the first several months of life, which may have a favorable effect on developmental outcomes.

Delayed umbilical cord clamping is associated with significant neonatal benefits in preterm infants, including improved transitional circulation, better establishment of red blood cell volume, decreased need for blood transfusion, and lower incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis and intraventricular hemorrhage.

Words are powerful-use them wisely

You ask them to put their milk cup further back on the table, but they didn't listen. A minute later you hear "Oh no!" and you look over to see that the milk had spilled all over the table and chair. Now YOU have a choice. You can either...

Our culture's approach to a wakeful baby and a tired mother is to pressure her into sleep training. But that's not what mothers need.
