Nursing parents are commonly warned: “Don’t let your baby use you as a pacifier.” Although often said, this is an incredibly curious statement. After all, which came first, nursing or the pacifier? Nursing, of course, long predates the pacifier (aka “dummy”), a man-made device designed lat...

Scientists have discovered breastmilk isn’t just food.
It’s alive.

It holds living cells. Stem cells. Tiny exosomes that carry healing instructions through the body.
It can regulate the immune system. Reduce inflammation.
Some studies even suggest it may help fight cancer.

And if you need proof, look at the science. In labs, breastmilk literally stops bacteria from growing.

Your body makes something no lab can fully recreate.
Something that shifts and adapts to your child’s needs in real time.
Something so powerful, it’s reshaping what we know about medicine.

Share this if you’ve ever been in awe of what your body can do. You’re allowed to be proud ❤️ The Breastmilk Queen - Amy McGlade

All babies lose some weight in the first 24 hours. If you received IV fluids during labour, your baby may lose even more, not because of feeding, but because the fluids make the birth weight look higher than it really is.

That’s why the 24-hour weight is the most accurate starting point for tracking growth.

Researchers in Canada found that using the 24-hour weight instead of the birth weight helped more babies stay exclusively breastfed in their first few days of life.

Growing well = getting enough milk. ❤️

All this👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

NOT A GAS TANK
Your baby is not a car. The goal is not to put gas in the tank to see how far it can go between top ups. It’s to teach a tiny human to listen to their body and it’s caloric and hydration needs from an early age to help them grow and develop. This is FEEDING. How you feed is different than how I feed. How your family feeds is unique and not how my family feeds. From what we eat, to how often we eat, to when we eat it’s such an individual process!! Some adults are grazers. They like to snack on small meals all day. They sip water throughout the day and always have a water bottle handy. Some babies are like this, too. Some adults are bingers. They eat really big meals less often. They only drink water in big glasses around meal times. Some babies are like this, too. And there’s everything in between. The goal is not to reach some magic number of ounces in a limited number of feedings because an internet blog said baby needed x number or ounces in 4 feedings a day. That can cause undo stress for both parents and child. The goal is to learn your unique baby’s feeding habits and help them foster those habits within your family context as they grow and develop into a bigger and bigger human.
