🤱✨World Breastfeeding Week✨🤱
This photo captures a quiet moment—but it holds so much more.
Breastfeeding, chestfeeding, bodyfeeding—it can be beautiful and bonding.
It can also be exhausting, painful, confusing, emotional, and incredibly vulnerable.
Sometimes all of that in the same feed.
I’ve fed my babies through tears and cracked ni***es, growth spurts and doubt, sleepy snuggles and deep joy. Easily the most difficult thing I’ve done as a parent (so far!).
And what I know is this: no one should have to do it alone.
💛 Whether you nursed for years, for days, or made a different choice—you deserve support, not judgment.
Breastfeeding is not easy because it’s “natural.” It’s a learned skill - for both of you. And it’s hard work.
Every journey is unique—and valid.
If you’re feeding a baby (or preparing to), I’m here for you. Care with Encompass includes:
✨ Hands-on lactation support - especially to get babe latched in that first hour which we know has SO MANY BENEFITS for both of you!
✨ Craniosacral support for babies who may need a little extra help - and I’ll teach you how to support your babe in this way!
✨ A complementary home visit in your first week postpartum with Lactation Counselor Gingerly Mama—because support in those early days makes all the difference
To every parent trying, every helper showing up, and every body doing their best—this week is for you. You’re doing a good job. You’re not alone.
🌍🤱 Happy World Breastfeeding Week, friends!
