Can not explain the high of emotions, when baby is here, mama is happy and I get to hold the precious blessings I had to honor to take part in her/his delivey. Absolutely incredible. God is so good

✨ When the impossible meets the possible ✨

They said it couldn’t be done.
They said it was too risky, too rare, too much.
But birth doesn’t read the textbooks.

A baby who should have turned,
didn’t. A face, not a crown, pressed into the world first.
Brow furrowed, lips parted, eyes wide with the fire of arrival.

And still, the body knew.
Still, the mother opened.
Still, the earth tilted in awe as a child entered
face to the sky, staring down the odds, proving once again that birth writes its own story.

This is not just anatomy.
This is poetry in motion.
This is the raw brilliance of physiology, the audacity of a mother’s power, and the miracle of a baby who said,
“I will come through anyway.”

-Love,
Badassmotherbirther

Crying is how babies from birth to about five years old communicate their needs. When caregivers regularly ignore these cries, the baby’s stress response system becomes overstimulated and unregulated. This repeated stress, especially without comfort, can alter how a child’s brain, nervous system, and immune system develop. Scientists refer to this as stress becoming “biologically embedded,” meaning early experiences shape long-term health and behavior.

When a baby cries without being soothed, stress hormones like cortisol flood their body. If this happens too often, it can interfere with how the brain grows—especially areas responsible for emotions, thinking, and memory. Studies on both animals and humans show that neglect during early years leads to increased anxiety, stronger fear reactions, and slower development of the frontal cortex, which is responsible for decision-making and emotional control.

Brain scans of children who experienced early neglect—such as those raised in institutions—show physical changes, including reduced white matter (needed for learning) and enlarged amygdalae (linked to fear and anxiety). Over time, this can lead to problems with self-control, focus, and learning.

Ignoring babies’ distress also weakens emotional bonding. Babies who are consistently comforted learn to trust their caregivers. But if crying is ignored, they may form insecure attachment patterns. These children often grow up more anxious, emotionally distant, or unable to manage stress well.

Biologically, early emotional neglect also affects hormone balance and the immune system. Chronically stressed babies often show abnormal cortisol levels and higher inflammation markers. This makes them more vulnerable to illnesses and long-term conditions like depression, heart disease, and metabolic issues later in life.

Behaviorally, these children are more likely to struggle with anxiety, aggression, or attention problems. Studies show that even years later, children who experienced early emotional neglect score lower in language and problem-solving skills and may face challenges in relationships.

In short, babies need responsive care not just for emotional reasons, but to support healthy brain, hormone, and immune system development. While occasional crying is normal, ongoing neglect of emotional needs in early years can leave long-lasting biological and psychological marks.

👁️ Did you ever wonder why the baby’s taken across the room? Why the cord is clamped fast, the mother left shaking, the lights so bright it feels like judgment?

Did you ever feel the stillness—the eerie quiet when the father’s hands are empty, the grandmother’s not in the room, and the newborn is nowhere near a breast?

It’s not just medicine.
It’s not just policy.
It’s a ritual.
And it’s not ours.

🧬 They inject pig-derived Pitocin to mimic the hormone God designed to flood a woman’s brain in labor. But it doesn’t reach the brain. It only contracts the body.
The love doesn’t flow.
The imprint doesn’t land.
The bonding doesn’t seal.
Just pressure. Just force.

💉 Synthetic love.
⚡ Counterfeit release.
🧠 Neurological silence.

And while the woman is watched but not touched, while the baby is wiped but not suckled, while the father is praised for being “supportive” but not leading—
they cut the thread.

👶 The mother-baby dyad was made to reflect divine intimacy. To pass down trust, peace, protection.
But when it’s broken—
the body remembers.
The child stores the grief.
The mother learns disconnection.
The father fades from view.

That’s how it starts. But it doesn’t end there.

Then come the bottles.
The cribs.
The high chairs.
The eight-hour separations called school.
The praise of independence that is really just early detachment.
The lie that the nuclear family is enough. That Mom runs the home. That Dad is just for weekends. That children are safest raised by strangers in buildings funded by gods they do not know.

🕳️ We are not looking at broken systems.
We are looking at precision-engineered fragmentation.

And you feel it. You’ve felt it all along.
That something was taken before you could name it.
That someone was missing even while you were being told you had “everything you need.”

But listen: the lie only wins if we let it.
And we won’t.
We are pulling the babies back to the breast.
We are restoring the mother's voice in the birth room.
We are putting grandmothers back at the table.
We are praying over the placenta.
We are keeping them close at night.
We are burning the counterfeit and walking in the design.
This is not soft work.
It is a holy war

🚫STOP! DON’T WASH THAT BABY🚫

Ever wondered what that white cheesy substance is on your fresh baby? It’s called Vernix! It starts to form on your baby’s skin around 20 weeks. What’s exactly in vernix?🤔 Scientists have identified lipids, amino acids, proteins, antibacterial, and antimicrobial compounds such as:

🌿wax and sterol esters
🌿ceramides
🌿squalene
🌿cholesterol
🌿triglycerides
🌿phospholipids
and amino acids, asparagine and glutamine

61% of these proteins can only be found in vernix 🤗

What are the uses of Vernix? 📚
📌it acts as antibacterial agent to protect baby inside and outside the womb
📌protective covering while going through the birth canal
📌allows baby to pick up good back bacteria and leave behind overgrowth of bad bacteria
📌protects baby from meconium exposure(baby’s first p**p)
📌it acts as insulation by maintaining your baby’s body temperature. Infants who are immediately washed have a significantly higher rate of heat loss
📌acts as a lubricant and decreases friction during birth and reducing infant trauma
📌it smells like mama and helps keep baby calm after birth
📌your baby swallows Vernix in the womb. The same proteins found in vernix are the same as those in breastmilk. This helps baby’s digestive tract to be ready to breastfeed.
📌keeps baby’s skin soft and subtle

Why do nurses rub it off? 🤔
Many policies in the hospital system are outdated but still practiced. We were taught that Vernix was a risk of germs. You can ask staff to please reduce rubbing of baby to preserve Vernix on baby’s skin! When baby has their first skin to skin contact with you, this is the perfect time to rub it in, not rub it off.

MAJORITY OF VERNIX IS ABSORBED 24 HOURS AFTER BIRTH BUT ISNT FULLY ABSORBED TILL 5-6 DAYS AFTER BIRTH! LETS GIVE OUR BABIES TIME ABSORB THIS DELICIOUS CREAM THAT SCIENTISTS ARE SO DESPERATELY TRYING TO DUPLICATE BUT CANNOT!

It's so amazing to me at how much new babies change from birth/24hr check up to the two week postpartum check up. This little darling right here though 😍 what a beautiful "not so" little girl, I just love her to bits.
