Living in the Lowcountry, we never know if we will be impacted by a hurricane, that’s why it’s always good to stay prepared. 🩵 One of the strongest tools a mother has in a storm is the protection and comfort of breastfeeding.

3 Ways Breastfeeding Helps During a Hurricane:
1️⃣ Always Ready – No power, refrigeration, or bottled water needed.
2️⃣ Safe & Clean – Provides reliable nutrition when supplies are disrupted.
3️⃣ Comfort & Connection – Calms your baby when everything else feels overwhelming.

At Mother’s Helper, we’re here to walk with you-through sunshine and storms. 🌸

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. 🤱💙
