We live in a country that spends more on healthcare than anywhere else in the world…
and this is what postpartum still looks like.

One visit at 6 weeks.
Mental health complications left under-screened.
Outcomes that don’t match the level of investment.
Research that hasn’t always centered the people it’s meant to serve.

At the same time, we expect parents to recover, feed, function, bond, and just… figure it out.

Postpartum isn’t a moment.
It’s a critical window that shapes long-term health—for both parent and baby.

And yet, it’s still treated like an afterthought.

This isn’t about blame.
It’s about awareness, education, and doing better with what we know now.

Save and send this to help educate on where we fall short to continue working towards a better outcome.

Breastfeeding outcomes are often talked about as a personal choice. But the data tells a different story.

When parents have access to postpartum care, lactation support, and time to recover, they are significantly more likely to meet their feeding goals and continue breastfeeding longer.

The early postpartum period is not just about feeding—it’s about healing, guidance, and support.

Without that support, parents are more likely to:
• stop breastfeeding earlier than planned
• struggle with supply or latch
• feel overwhelmed or unsure

And this doesn’t just impact feeding.

Postpartum care is directly connected to maternal mental health, physical recovery, and overall health outcomes for both parent and baby.

When we invest in postpartum support, we’re not just improving breastfeeding rates—we’re improving the health of families as a whole.

We are still failing women in the most basic way: by making it harder to learn about our bodies than to be exploited for them.

That should disturb all of us.

Because this is bigger than one removed post. It speaks to a culture that is more comfortable with women being objectified than informed. More comfortable with our bodies being consumed than understood. More comfortable with confusion than clarity.

And women pay for that.

We pay for it in delayed diagnoses, in preventable suffering, in postpartum struggles that get minimized, in fear, in silence, in being taught to second guess what our bodies are doing instead of being taught how they actually work.

We do not need less visibility. We need more truth, more nuance, more access, and a whole lot less policing of education disguised as protection.

Because women have never suffered from knowing too much about their bodies.
We’ve suffered from the world making sure we know too little.

Feeding a newborn can come with a lot of questions.

How often should they eat?
How much milk do they actually need?
How do you know if they’re getting enough?

In the early weeks, feeding patterns can feel unpredictable, but understanding a few basics can make things much clearer.

In this post you’ll find a simple guide to:

• how small a newborn’s stomach actually is
• the stages of breastmilk
• early feeding cues to watch for
• signs your baby is getting enough milk

These are some of the most common questions I see from new parents during the newborn stage.

Save this post so you can come back to it during those early weeks when everything feels new and you’re still learning your baby’s rhythms.

And remember: every baby is unique. Feeding patterns, timing, and amounts can vary.

One of the biggest worries new parents have in the early days is wondering if their baby is getting enough milk.

As your baby grows over the first few weeks, their stomach capacity gradually increases, allowing them to take in larger amounts of milk.

This is why frequent feeding in the early days is completely normal and expected. Those small, frequent feeds help your baby get exactly what they need while also signaling your body to increase milk production.

Save this so you can come back to it when you need reassurance. 🤍
