Ever catch yourself wondering why you’re so wiped out from breastfeeding?

Let me tell you something most people don’t say out loud…

That crazy hunger you can’t seem to satisfy.

The way you drink glass after glass of water and it’s never quite enough.

The exhaustion that goes all the way to your bones.

None of it means you’re lazy or doing anything wrong. It means your body is doing something extraordinary, feeding your baby.

The truth is, making enough milk for your little one can take up to half yes! half of your body’s energy every single day. That’s twice as much as your brain uses.

So if you hardly have energy for anything except snuggling your baby and taking care of yourself, please know this is normal. You are not failing. You’re just giving everything you have.

You’re allowed to rest. You deserve kindness, from yourself, too.

And if you’ve ever felt alone in this, just know you’re not. There are so many mamas feeling it right along with you.

You are not alone 🩷

… This is why l’m so passionate about honoring your breastfeeding journey with breastmilk jewellery.

Please join our World Breastfeeding Week celebration today from 11-1 on the 5th floor. Take the elevator to the 5th floor and we’ll look forward to greeting you!

The World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action has declared the theme for World Breastfeeding Week 2025 as creating sustainable support systems. To this end, the South Carolina Breastfeeding Coalition announces our new Geographical Systems Information Lactation Resources Map. Created with the help of GIS Corp, a non-profit organization, our Lactation Resources Map on our website, SCBreastfeeds.org, is now searchable by address. It also includes a survey on the map so that Lactation Providers can add their information about lactation consults, breastfeeding classes, support groups, and more. Our hope is that this map will improve access to lactation services in the state.
Check out the SCBC Lactation Resources Map
In addition to being a resource to parents, SCBC offers networking and educational opportunities to lactation providers in the state. Join us for our next quarterly meeting to help us learn how to come together to help support families affected by disaster.

To those who don’t feel like celebrating World Breastfeeding Week — this is for you 💜

Maybe you're in pain. Maybe you're overwhelmed. Maybe you stopped breastfeeding - not because you wanted to, but because you weren't given the support you needed.

You’re not alone.

💔 80% of women who want to breastfeed stop before they’re ready.
Not because they failed — but because they weren’t supported.

This week isn’t just about celebration.
It’s about you.

If you’re finding it hard, if you have questions, or if you just need a listening ear — the National Breastfeeding Helpline is here for you.

No pressure. No judgement. Just real, human support - 24/7

Call 0300 100 0212 or send us a DM on social media anytime💜

🍼 Side-Lying Paced Bottle Feeding

Why try this method?
Side-lying paced bottle feeding lets your baby feed in a natural, comfortable position while giving them control over their feeding pace - just like breastfeeding!

👶 How to Pace Bottle feed:
1. Lay baby on their side
2. Position bottle horizontally
3. Let baby latch onto the bottle and suckle without milk for about a minute then allow them to control the milk flow.
4. Watch baby's cues - pause when they stop sucking actively.
5. Tilt bottle down or up to pace the feeding based on baby's cues.
6. You can switch sides halfway through feeding to mimic switching breasts.

Teaching caregivers this method is essential when you have a breastfed baby! It helps maintain the same gentle, responsive feeding style your little one is used to, making transitions between breast and bottle much smoother for everyone. 💕
