When I had my babies, it was just me and my husband, and I’m so thankful for him. But I didn’t have mom friends to text, no one who got the late-night breakdowns or the tired laughs. I know I can’t be the only one.

If you’re a tired mom too, follow me , let’s remind each other we’re not alone. 💕

Mamas, let’s bust a myth: your body size doesn’t decide how ‘fat’ your milk is. Breast milk is tailored to your baby’s needs, not your dress size. It changes with your baby’s growth, health, and development.

Focus on nourishing yourself to stay energized, your milk is already doing exactly what it needs to do. 💕

During breastfeeding, your body uses calcium to make milk, which can temporarily lower bone density. 🤱

The good news is that after weaning, your hormones help your bones recover, and sometimes they even come back stronger than before!

Understanding your body and bone health during and after breastfeeding is key to staying strong and healthy. 💪

If you stop breastfeeding on your terms, I support you. ❤️

But I’ll always stand for breastfeeding beyond infancy. Because women’s bodies aren’t just for show. Because the bond is sacred. Because you deserve support every step of the way.

No one else decides when this ends. This is yours. 🤍

I remember those days. 😭

If you could extend one thing, maternity leave or newborn cuddles? Which one are you choosing?

If you’re still in the newborn stage, soak it up, mama! 🤍

Did you know your breast milk actually changes when your baby is sick? It becomes more protective, helping your little one recover faster.

👉 for diarrhea, keep breastfeeding more often to prevent dehydration.
👉 for vomiting, offer smaller, frequent feeds until your baby can nurse normally again.

Call your doctor right away if you notice dehydration, blood in stool, severe diarrhea, repeated vomiting, or if your baby seems very unwell. 🚨
