You know what nobody tells you about breastfeeding?
It’s a full-body workout disguised as “just sitting there.”
Your body is doing the absolute most all at the same time:
• You’re burning 500+ calories a day
• You’re producing antibodies on demand
• You’re regulating your baby’s temperature, heart rate, and stress hormones
• You’re building an entire immune system from scratch
• You’re matching your milk to your baby in real time
• You’re staying mentally alert so your tiny human doesn’t karate-kick off the b**b like a baby ninja
And somehow… you’re expected to do all this while pretending you’re not running a biological marathon on zero sleep.
Breastfeeding takes energy, focus, nutrients, hydration, patience, emotional bandwidth, and straight-up superhuman stamina.
So if you feel exhausted?
Overwhelmed?
Like you’ve been hit by a truck made of hormones?
It’s not in your head.
Your body is literally keeping another human alive with bioactive liquid tailored just for them.
That’s not “just breastfeeding.”
That’s work.
That’s science.
That’s magic.
And that’s you.
