During World War II, when the world was in turmoil and resources were scarce, breastfeeding wasn’t just a personal choice it was considered an act of service to one’s country. With formula hard to come by, milk from a mother’s body became a lifeline, nourishing babies when nothing else could. Posters even urged women to see breastfeeding as patriotic, reminding them that every drop of milk was part of the war effort.

Today, while the battlefield looks different, the courage of mothers remains the same. Every time you nurse your baby through the exhaustion, the doubts, and the long nights you are giving life, strength, and security in a world that doesn’t always feel steady. You may not see a poster hanging in your honor, but know this, what you are doing is powerful, timeless, and worthy of recognition. 🤱💪

You are not just feeding a baby you are continuing a legacy of resilience that has carried humanity through its darkest hours.

Every drop counts.
Even the ones that soak through your shirt before baby latches.
Even the ones you pump at 3am while the rest of the house sleeps.
Even the ones you spill by accident and cry over in the kitchen.
Even the ones that don’t seem like “enough.”

They count.

This isn’t about how much milk you make.
This is about how much love you pour into every feeding.
How many times you said no to your own exhaustion so your baby could have one more ounce.
How many times you sat there, aching and tired, but still showed up.

Whether you breastfed for 3 years or 3 days
Whether you exclusively pumped, combo fed, or comfort nursed
Whether you fought through pain, clogged ducts, or low supply

Please hear this.
You did not fail. You gave.
And every drop you gave
Counts.

While there is a definite push to get formula fed babies on bigger feeds, less often, as they get older, this is an unlikely expectation for breastfed babies.

Because the maximum storage capacity of the mother’s breasts stays more or less the same throughout a feeding journey, rather than increasing as a baby ages, it’s fair to assume that an average feed for a breastfed baby will remain similar throughout.

For a breastfed baby, from about 4-6 weeks of age, we work off the calculation of offering 30-45ml/hour per feed, with an expectation of a maximum feed likely being between 3-4 ounces. (90-120ml)

Offering more than this in a bottle risks wasting that precious milk you’ve pumped with love!

Did you know this?

Don’t forget, also, that breastfed babies will come to the breast for comfort and regulation as well as for food. Many parts of breastfeeding can’t be replicated with a bottle.
