Just because something is shared widely, doesn't mean it's true.
I really WANT there to be an image of what the lactating breast actually looks like, and I'd share the heck out of it, but this ain't it. Soz

We’re so often warned not to give too much. But it’s the absence, not the abundance, that leaves lasting wounds…

Every time you respond to your child’s cry, their nervous system learns safety.
Their mind learns trust.
Their heart learns: my feelings are valid, my needs are not too much, my voice matters.

This isn’t indulgence.
It’s the foundation of emotional security.

Because the children who are heard now
are the ones who won’t spend adulthood begging to be understood later.

Answering their cry doesn’t make them needy.
It makes them seen.

And that’s how we build wholeness from the very beginning. ❤️

Formula milk marketing exploits parental anxieties about common infant behaviours such as fussiness or poor sleep.

Premium branding is paraded as having “premium benefits”, when in fact the only difference is the price.

Claims made by the formula milk industry about their products are often misleading, scientifically unsubstantiated & violate the International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes.

WHO is calling on governments to end exploitative marketing and protect babies’ health.

I might share things on occasion (keep an eye on stories) but for now I’m saying “see ya see ya later” ✌🏼 for a little while crocodile 🐊
