Oh boy. This entire piece is well written!
But this part is 💯!

“Licensing schemes written by people who’ve never held a woman’s hand through transition dictating who is “allowed” to catch a baby”

I encourage you to learn about what’s happening in our state. Vote for what you believe is right - even if we don’t agree.. I just encourage our community to step up and take ahold of your power to VOTE on these things! I’d say 90% of our locals have no idea what’s is happening in healthcare. You have a voice - use it to protect you, and future birthing mothers!

Protect Traditional Midwifery.
We’re next.

They’ve been picking us off quietly for decades, one birth center at a time, one midwife at a time, one family at a time.

Now the squeeze is out in the open. Bills dressed up as “safety” stripping out whole lines of practice.

Hospitals shuttering maternity units while pretending it’s a staffing glitch.

Licensing schemes written by people who’ve never held a woman’s hand through transition dictating who is “allowed” to catch a baby.

Look around. Every closure, every “pause,” every new rule is the same message on repeat:

Birth belongs to the system. Not to women. Not to families. Not to the midwives who’ve carried this work for centuries.

Traditional midwifery is the last free corner left in American maternity care.

The only place where birth isn’t a commodity. The only place where outcomes still beat the system’s numbers.
And yes
because of that

we’re a threat.

If you think they’ll leave us alone, you’re not paying attention.

We’re next.
Unless we stand up, organize, and refuse to disappear.

Protect the keepers.
Protect the families who choose us.
Protect the right to birth outside a broken machine.

🎯

Decades of research have shown that round-the-clock fetal monitoring does not reliably predict fetal distress, and experts say it leads to many unnecessary surgeries. But it’s still used in nearly every birth in the U.S. because of business and legal concerns, a New York Times investigation found. https://nyti.ms/3WF7yLx

If you breastfeed for 1 day, you should be proud! 🤱
If you breastfeed for 6 months, you should be proud! 🤱
If you breastfeed for 2 years, you should be proud! 🤱
If you breastfeed for 6 years, you shouldn’t be ashamed or shamed - you should be proud and we should be proud of you! 🤱

The natural term for humans to breastfeed is anywhere between 2 and 7+ years. Some babies stop earlier, some carry on for longer.

Many cultures around the world breastfeed to natural term, including many women in the Western world. This age range is only surprising in cultures that interrupt breastfeeding, often without realising it or knowing which norms are biological and which are cultural.

The concentration of fats and proteins increase as a baby grows into a toddler, along with increased levels of antibacterial and antiviral components such as lysozyme, which is an anti-inflammatory, and destroys bacteria.

Lysozyme increases in concentration from about 6 months old, when babies become more mobile and everything (toys, sand, cats biscuits?) goes straight in the mouth, and keeps increasing after the first year.

The concentration of Lactoferrin also increases over time. Lactoferrin inhibits the growth of some cancerous cells. It also binds to the iron in our baby’s body, preventing it from being available to harmful microorganisms that need iron to survive. Lactoferrin also kills the bacteria strep mutans, a cause of tooth decay and cavities.

Our body’s immune system takes around 6 years to become fully mature, so the support of the protective factors in breastmilk until our immune system can fully function on its own seems play a part in the timescale of natural term weaning too.

Longer term breastfeeding is also associated with reduced risk of diseases for mothers, including breast cancer.

We acknowledge that many mothers find it difficult to establish breastfeeding in the first place, that is a multi-layered investment on the part of a mother and that natural term feeding might not feel like, or be, a possibility for many.

We're not here to tell anyone what to do.

We also acknowledge that lack of information about our biology contributes to lack of support for mothers when they want to establish, or continue, breastfeeding, but cannot find the help they need from people who understand why it matters, or what is normal.

⭐️ Exciting news! ⭐️
👣 is partnering with ! They are offering a discount to all TinyFeet Clients! 💫

“We’re Hannah and Adam Archambault, the owners of East Texas Turnovers and proud parents of our 10 month old son. After experiencing firsthand how overwhelming those last weeks of pregnancy and the first days home with a new baby can be, we wanted to create something to truly support other families.

That’s how our Maternity Clean was born - a home cleaning and gift basket designed to give parents peace of mind. Whether it’s done the week of the due date, while you’re at the hospital, or right after you come home, the goal is the same: to provide a sanitized, fresh, space so families can focus on what matters most.

We treat every home with the same care we’d want for our own family, and we’re honored to help make this special time a little easier. “
