🗣️HEAR ME OUT

A little piece of me healed when:

My husband said of my toddler nursing to sleep, “our kids are so lucky.”

Secretary Kennedy said, “nobody is better at designing baby formula than God.”

My dad brought me chocolate cake during a massive cluster feeding growth spurt with my third baby.

Secretary Duffy said, “Breastmilk is so great. I mean, who’s better at making food for a baby: corporate America or the mother?”

My eldest son asked, “are you allowed to breastfeed the baby in here?” and I told him I had a legal right to breastfeed anywhere I had a legal right to be, and my son brightened up and said, “oh!” And realized it was totally normal for a baby to eat when they’re hungry just like the rest of us.

Paul Saladano said, “I hope my kids get to breastfeed one day.”

Real men protect the physiologic design of breastfeeding and promote a woman’s right to invest her time and energy into such an important job.

Let’s not enable a pornified culture or normalize men who want to justify acting like boys.

There’s a change coming in the way women work and the way women seek help. Can you feel it? Let’s make 2026 the year we ask ourselves and our support systems more questions than we ask the internet.

Helping moms feed their babies has always been an honor. But I’ll confess I spent some time trying to make it that AND. To alleviate my family’s medical bills. To “buy myself time” as a homeschooling and working mother. To prove that I’ve still got it.

But I have been convicted, called, and challenged in the past few months. My work is what it is. Sacred, small, spirit-led. A gift to other families and a gift to my own. Not a transaction. I’m sorry, Lord, for the thing I made it, and I’m back to letting you lead.

(The longer version of what I’ve been ruminating on is on my new and 100% FREE blog: happymamahealthybaby.substack.com)

1.) Lots of practical tips about safe co-sleeping and daytime sanity in Milk and Motherhood podcast episode 12 (don’t skip the links in the show notes for some resources that really encouraged me in the thick of sleep deprivation).

2.) Wake windows and sleep schedules are a thing, but some babies will easily fall into those rhythms and some won’t. At the end of the day, pay attention to your baby and not the sleep influencers.

3.) It’s biologically normal to nurse at night. Your prolactin and melatonin and milk supply are higher and cortisol is lower. You’re not a ma*****st and you don’t have to choose between sleep and breastfeeding. Nighttime parenting is normal, and also setting loving nighttime boundaries after the first 12 months is necessary for some families.

4.) Get curious about your baby for sure, but also get curious about what their behavior might be reflecting back to you about yourself and your health and your needs. Do you need more structure? Less rigidity? More help? Are you struggling more than you “should” be with the amount of sleep you’re getting? Are you tired but wired? Ferritin/iron, copper, magnesium, calcium, potassium, and histamine all have really unique effects on sleep for better or for worse.

5.) Words matter. I wish I hadn’t complained about sleep so much in front of my tiny babies. They heard it all and now that they’re older they can tell me exactly how I felt about their sleep patterns 💔 But even how you speak to yourself about it matters. Are you sinking? Or learning to swim? Drowning in motherhood or surfing the waves?

Many of us learn quickly after having a baby that our bodies tell us when we do too much too soon: increased cramping, bleeding, and fatigue quickly notify us when we need to take a step back.

At what point in the postpartum journey did you stop listening to your body’s feedback loops and start pushing through anyway?

I’m eleven years deep into motherhood and I’m still learning that it’s important to listen to my body in all seasons, not just immediately postpartum.

What’s even more exciting is that usually our bodies are asking for very simple things and we like to make it complicated.

Every fall, I get my postpartum cookbook out because postpartum foods are autumn and winter foods. Why not use this annual rhythm of hibernation to reset and start a new year trying softer and “letting the soft animal of your body love what it loves,” as Mary Oliver says?

What if it really is this simple to feel human again?

sunshine + fresh air
human touch
deep nourishment + hydration
movement appropriate to the stage you’re in
cozy socks
warm drinks
doing less with more intention and presence

This is what I’ll be doing for the month of January. Wanna join me?

Christmas is a day of duality. An immaculate conception and a human birth. The king of kings, asleep in the hay. Mary and Joseph having internal confidence in their parts in this story, but aware of the outward scrutiny and skepticism of the way things appear to be happening.

Jesus is born, the angles rejoice, and the shepherds search for proof of this good news of great joy for all people after 400 years of Biblical silence. But Mary is in the sacred pause after birth when time stops and the body and mind have to catch up with the enormity of what just happened.

The shepherds spread the word and glorified God for what they had seen and heard. And Mary, in opposition to the joyful song she shares with Elizabeth in Luke 1, now takes it all in quietly: the multiple data points adding up, the awe that it was, in fact, done according to God’s word. It’s all happening.

Mary ponders these things. She holds them in her heart, letting the pregnant pause expand her belief, accept what’s been done, wrap her head around what will continue to be asked of her. Perhaps she’s contemplating the internal fortitude it will take to hold the big picture in mind and still attend to all the hourly needs of an infant. The postpartum bleeding. The cluster feeding. The nights spent with her baby on her chest, staring into his eyes, wrapping her head around the enormity of how this tiny human could be fully human and fully divine. So fragile, so vulnerable. So powerful, so humble. So new, so ancient.

She takes it all in, one breath at a time. She treasures the sights, the sounds, the words, the story as it unfolds. The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.

INHALE: I am the maidservant of the Lord.

EXHALE: Let it be done to me according to your will.

No matter what this day holds for you, be it unmet longings or hopes fulfilled, know that God holds you. And today we celebrate that for a brief moment in time, Mary held God with Us tenderly to her own heart, slowly become aware that a mother’s love for her child is only a pale reflection of God’s love for us.

The Greek word for maidservant is δούλη (doulē). While this is the root word of “doula,” the role has evolved. In the time of Christ, a Greek doulē was a servant of the house, an imposed vocation of presence with humility, nearness, and faithfulness.

Mary calls herself a maidservant, but this doesn’t mean she is passive or resigned. She consents as an active participant, saying, “let this new reality be born in me.”

In fact the word for God’s word in this verse, ῥῆμα (rhēma) is the same word used in the verse before it when the angel says Elizabeth is pregnant because nothing is impossible for God. The literal translation of Luke 1:37 says, “every word God speaks has power.” God’s word does not describe reality so much as it creates reality. And now, in the person of Jesus, God’s word IS reality.

In the Gospels, we see that Peace IS a person and Mary and her cousin have both been notified that despite all odds they are the next chapters in His story. Instead of questioning what God said like Eve did, Mary and Elizabeth humbly rejoice.

Imagine, instead of two women co-miserating about the trials of pregnancy, two women lit up with joy over the miracle of it all. “God has done the wildest thing in my life. You too!?”

In Luke 1:25 Elizabeth says, “The Lord has done this for me. In these days he has shown his favor and taken away my disgrace among the people.” But instead of making the story about her, she doubles her joy when she celebrates with Mary. “Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!”

The Word has put on flesh. Peace has inhabited the earth as promised and His reign of joy has begun with two women humbly submitting to the vocation of birthing God’s words into reality.

This beautiful paining of The Annunciation by Henry Ossawa Tanner depicts Luke 1:26-28 and it has captivated me as a mother.

“And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!” But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was. Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid.”

Imagine knowing and loving the stories of the Old Testament. The miracles, the desert seasons, the God who makes promises and follows through.

Then imagine an angel comes to YOU and says God is with you. Gabriel greets Mary as highly favored. The Greek word for favored, χαριτόω (charitóō), is a perfect passive participle, meaning something like, “one who has been completely and permanently endowed with grace.” Its root word, χάρις (charis), means gift. So the angel isn’t just saying hello. He’s naming Mary as a vessel and endowing her with a gift she could not manufacture on her own. God is not just with her, he is within her.

Highly favored, the Lord is with you, blessed are you. The Greek word for blessing, εὐλογέω (eulogeō), means to consecrate, or to bless something to God’s use, not just “to give.” It’s a verb, not an adjective like we use it today when we say we are blessed.

It’s no wonder Mary is alarmed by this very literal greeting! Luke 1:29 more accurately says Mary was wholly disturbed and agitated by the angel’s greeting and deliberated with herself what was meant by it. The angel sees this and says, “do not be afraid, you have found favor with God.” He tells her she will conceive and bear a child and his name will be Jesus. She would have known that the name itself meant “Jehova is salvation.”

She asks, “how can this be? I’m a virgin.” The angel says, “the same way in which Elizabeth, who was called barren, has conceived in her old age. Nothing is impossible with God!”

Mary replies, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.”

The Greek word for maidservant is δούλη (doulē). This. Blows. My. Mind.

“If mothers could learn to do for themselves what they do for their children when they are overdone, we should have happier households. Let the mother go out to play!

If she would only have courage to let everything go when life becomes too tense, and just take a day, or a half a day, out in the fields, or with a favorite book, or in a picture gallery looking long and well at just what she likes best — we should soon hear no more of ‘nerves’ and ‘hysterics.’”
