Got to cook for one of my sweet families this morning for our last visit together. The house smelled delicious on this chilly day as I prepared Coronation Chicken Salad w/ dried apricots and almonds and roasted some veggies for a vegetable lasagna. Enjoy!!

🍜 It’s soup season friends!
Tonight I had the pleasure of preparing some delicious Thai Chicken Noodle Soup for one of my sweet families. Warm nourishing foods are extremely beneficial during the postpartum period. They support easier digestion, improve circulation for healing, ground the body’s energy and provide vital nutrients for recovery.

In Vietnam, this image of a grandmother breastfeeding her grandchild is more than extraordinary, it’s part of a long history of shared nourishment.

Across cultures and centuries, communities have practiced cross-nursing and wet-nursing:
✨ In times when a mother was ill, passed away, or simply needed support, another woman, sometimes even a grandmother, stepped in to feed the baby.
✨ In Vietnam and other parts of Asia, women have been known to relactate, meaning they can restart or continue milk production, even later in life, when there is a baby in need.
✨ In Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, and Indigenous communities worldwide, shared nursing was seen as a form of survival, kinship, and solidarity.

Breastfeeding has never been just one mother and one child.

It has often been a communal act of love, protection, and survival.

This photo reminds us that human milk is not only food, it’s medicine, comfort, and a living connection that binds families and generations together.

-Love,

Behind every breastfeeding mom is a story no one else can fully see. The quiet tears shed in the dark, the moments of doubt where you wonder if you’re enough, the exhaustion that feels endless and yet, you hold your baby close and give them everything you have. Nursing is not just milk, it’s a piece of your soul, poured out drop by drop into the little life depending on you. One day your baby will be grown, and they won’t remember these nights, but your heart always will. These moments may feel small now, but they are shaping a bond so powerful it will echo for a lifetime. 🤱💙

"Somewhere, there’s a woman: 30 years old, no children. People ask her, “Still no kids?” She forces a smile. “Not yet.” Later, she cries… because she’s had miscarriages, because IVF didn’t work, because she’s tried for years, because her heart aches every time she’s asked that question.

Somewhere else, there’s a woman: 34, five children. People say, “Five? I hope you’re done!” They laugh like it’s funny. She laughs too, politely. Later, she cries… because she wanted a big family, because her Granny had 12, because she’s tired of the judgment, because people assume she’s irresponsible, because no one sees how much love and care she pours into her kids.

And then there’s another woman: 40, one child. People ask, “Only one? Didn’t you want more?” She smiles, “I’m happy with my one.” Later, she cries… because her one was a miracle, because she wanted more, because her body or life circumstances won’t allow it, because people don’t know the battles she’s already fought.

💔 These women are everywhere. They are our sisters, our neighbors, our coworkers, our friends.

Their wombs are not community property. Their choices are not public business. Their pain is not ours to poke at with casual comments and “funny” jokes.

So here’s the reminder:
👉 Whether it’s no kids, five kids, or one kid—it’s not your place to question.
👉 Respect their journey. Respect their story. Respect their silence.

Because you never know what tears are hidden behind that smile."

The American College of Nurse-Midwives affirms acetaminophen, also commonly known as Tylenol, remains a safe and effective option for relieving pain and reducing fever during pregnancy when used as directed. Ongoing research and expert reviews continue to support its appropriate use, and pregnant individuals can feel confident using it in consultation with their midwife or other healthcare provider.
