Happy AANHPI Breastfeeding Week!

This year’s theme is Diverse Voices, One Vision: Empowering AANHPI Breastfeeding Journeys

Diverse voices.
Every culture has its own unique breastfeeding traditions, languages, and stories.

As a Filipino-American there weren’t any traditional practices or wisdom passed down. When I was born, my mom struggled to breastfeed me. I don’t blame her - she was in a new place, far away from her support system. She was trying to figure out what to do with all the conflicting advice between traditional practices and Western medicine. It was all overwhelming. That was all I knew about breastfeeding. It was a feeling of inadequacy, pain, and loneliness.

One vision.
AANHPI communities have long-standing cultural practices around breastfeeding. Like many mothers, I had a longing of knowing what this meant for me.

I’ve become the mother and professional who decided to dig deeper, ask questions, and listen to and amplify AANHPI breastfeeding stories. Every story isn’t perfect, but there will always be one vision…

The shared goal of supporting healthy parents, babies, and communities.

It’s less about choosing between traditional or western practices and more about weaving both traditions and science into a plan that feels right for the family.

Bridging these differences means:
* Listening with respect to family wisdom.
* Explaining the “why” behind medical recommendations in plain, accessible language.
* Finding solutions that honor cultural values and support healthy outcomes.

💧🌵🏜️

I am a water carrier.

I exclusively breastfed my daughter for 13 months & my son for 22 months.

Mi Osito LOVED leche. Being able to breastfeed knowing this was my last baby is something I’ll never take for granted. Feeding him brought me so much presence, purpose & joy.

Even more importantly, feeding my babies from my body was about reclaiming an ancestral practice that connects me to my babies, our ancestors & la Madre Tierra. It was an act of love for the future & generational healing for the past. My great grandmother nursed a baby not her own, born on the same day as my grandfather. 60 years later he introduced that baby as his milk sister during a family reunion. That is what looks like. When my son was in the NICU for a month due to open heart surgery, I donated over 1k ounces to babies in my community.

Whether you call it breast, chest or body feeding, exclusively breastfeed, pump, supplement or combination feed, breastfeed for a day or years - I’m proud of you! This is hard work. This is a SACRED task.

INDIGENOUS MILK MEDICINE WEEK
August 8–14, 2025

Theme: “Unapologetically Indigenous: Love, Landback, and Liberation”

We thank for sharing her journey and a beautiful poem she had written for her daughter

🌻
Verte
Olerte
Y saberme llena de amor por ti.
Verte
Besarte
Y sentirme derramada
Desde la espalda,
Por las costillas
Por todo el pecho.
Verte
Viéndome
Y poder sostener
La mirada más larga que hubiera.
Verte
Extasiada
Y sentirme sumida en mi propio extasis
En mis lágrimas de gratitud
Por tu tan preciosa vida

That’s why we’re proud to partner with Mothership Coffee in their efforts to uplift local non-profits like Heart and Sol Collective.
