Dads, she fed your baby with her bones, her blood, her brain.
Breastmilk
Made from her blood.
Every drop takes water, nutrients, and energy.
Dehydration and exhaustion are real, even when she’s sitting still.
Magnesium & Zinc
Drained to grow your baby’s immune system.
This can leave your mama with leg cramps, poor sleep, and hormonal chaos.
Omega-3s (DHA)
Taken from her brain to build your baby’s brain and eyes.
This can leave your mama foggy, emotional, or even depressed.
Iron
Used to make your baby’s blood.
If not replaced, she’s left dizzy, anaemic, and utterly drained.
Calcium
Taken from her bones and teeth to grow your baby’s.
Many mamas lose bone density while pregnant or breastfeeding.
Blood Volume
Increased by 50% to nourish your baby.
After birth, she loses so much blood. Recovery takes time.
Protein, Fat, Carbs
Used to grow your baby’s organs and tissues.
Her body gives to the baby first, even if she’s not eating enough.
Sleep
Interrupted for months, even years.
Hormones keep her alert for the baby, even when she’s beyond exhausted.
Mamas give more than we see.
Every cell of your baby was built by her.
Her body sacrificed, and still, she shows up.
