dads, listen.
she fed your baby with her bones.
her blood.
her brain.
breastmilk is made from her blood.
every drop takes water, nutrients, and energy.
magnesium and zinc
pulled to grow your baby’s immune system.
she’s left with cramps, poor sleep, hormonal chaos.
omega-3s (dha)
taken from her brain to build your baby’s brain and eyes.
she’s left foggy, emotional, sometimes depressed.
iron
used to make your baby’s blood.
calcium
taken from her bones to build your baby’s.
she can lose bone density. end up dizzy. anaemic. drained.
her blood volume rose by 50% to nourish your baby.
then she lost so much of it at birth.
recovery takes time.
protein. fat. carbs.
her body gave it all to your baby first,
even when she wasn’t eating enough.
and still..
she wakes.
she soothes.
she shows up.
every cell of your baby was built by her.
her body is the blueprint.
her sacrifice is the reason.
share this.
someone needs to be reminded what she’s done 🖤
