You get to decide: do you want people to hold your baby?

Friends and family 👩‍👩‍👧‍👧who want to help you with your newborn 🤱🏻can offer help, but you can choose to accept it...or offer another, more helpful suggestion💡.

Do you want them to wash the dishes🍽️ or hold the baby while you wash them...or take a nap🛌🏻? (Being a parent is exhausting!) It's your choice.

Your visitors can "hold" you while you hold/feed your baby by supporting your needs: meals🥗, water refills🍶, a clean home🧹, and a nap🛌.

Have you redirected unhelpful "support" from family & friends?

Did you know that skin to skin helps reset your baby's GPS so he can latch on his own?

Don't forget about fl**ge fitting! We now offer 3 styles to try: classic, pano, and crater, in a wide variety of sizes to help you find the most comfortable fit for your breast pump.

Did you know the proportion 📊of protein, carbs, and fats in human milk 💦is more like that of primates🦍🐒🦧, whose babies cling to them and have small, frequent 🕜 meals throughout the day?

Our milk💦 isn't ❌ like cows' 🐄and deer🦌 milk; their babies follow to feed and turn into huge ⬆️animals really quickly. It's not like rabbit🐇 milk; they leave their babies in the den and stay small.

No wonder human babies need to breastfeed 🤱🏻often and expect to be held! (Have you tried baby wearing?)
