Amazing work!!!

It's the first day of MilkMedicineWeek! And our prompt for Spirit Week was - and I am in my FEELS today!! My big kid brought me into cultural reconnection. It felt impossible to do for myself, but for them? I would move mountains. Through our nursing struggles, I learned the wisdom that indaanikoobijigan bring us. I learned that they deserved the most beautiful life, and so did I. Today, we had the honor of spending the day with Dr. Robin Wall Kimmerer, who I quote frequently when teaching parents and other professionals about lactation. Through , she gave me the framework of words that I use to discuss lactation as an ecosystem that is also a relationship. I cannot ever discuss lactation without thinking of the quote "and with a gentle tug, bestir the dormant buds", which was my big aha moment in this work. I stood on the shores of our life giving niibi 🌊 and was humbled, as always, to finally be here - raising our children here. brought my family here, into the era where we are unapologetically and wholly Indigenous, all day, every day.

Ok if you're not following Skilled Lactation Solutions, LLC you need to, because their content is 🔥🔥🔥 and I'm so excited because they've asked me to jump on and talk about how colonialism affects lactation on Monday. You know I've got WORDS to say about this 📢📢📢

August 1-7 is World Breastfeeding Week!

This year's theme is "Create Sustainable Support Systems". We're going to spend the week focused on "Babies Before Bottom Line" - exploring the systems in America that destroy the goals of the 83.2% of parents who WANT to give human milk to their babies. Only 24.9% make it to 6mos without formula.

We have something new planned every day, ending with a great giveaway on 8/7 to wrap up the week! Make sure you're following and turn on notifications so you don't miss anything!
