5 years from now, the baby will not remember who held them. But the mother will forever remember who held her.

Don't forget to hold the mother as much as you hold the baby.

There’s a famous saying that says, “We hold our children in our arms for a little while, and in our hearts forever.” Every parent knows it’s true. But for mothers, well, it’s literally true.

Researchers have discovered that women carry their children's cells long after they are born, and these cells sometimes help protect and repair the mother's body.

As a midwife x over 35 years now and a mom of 4 kiddos ages 27 to 36, and a grandma of two littles, this post shares one of the truest truths I know: we do not make or break our children. They come with their own stories and journeys and our job is to be there with wisdom, love, understanding, and resilience to support them on that journey for a lifetime.

So yes - all the things- home birth, extended breastfeeding, deeply connected parenting, co-sleeping, homeschooling- whatever of it you choose- do it because it’s right for you and your child, because you love it, and because it works for you- not to cultivate a perfect person or to overcompensate for trauma you may have had. Pay attention to what each child needs because that’s different for each, too. I promise I’ve worked with families who did all the things and no there’s no perfect recipe for the ever happy ever healthy child or adult. Life is more complex than that.

And if your kids do have health challenges, need that antibiotic you worked so hard to avoid to help them have a healthy gut, breastfeeding doesn’t go as planned and you need to use a bottle and formula, you need to have a cesarean- it’s all okay. It’s life’s journey. It’s not your failing and littles are so resilient.

I’ve midwifed so many mamas going crazy trying to get it so right, trying to avoid recreating traumas or protecting our kids from so much of modern living. Yes let’s nourish snd protect our littles and our teens and our adult children of course. But also find the inner peace that you are doing your best and it not only doesn’t have to be perfect- it won’t be.

Allowing ourselves this grace makes the journey easier, more joyous, and allows us to see our children for who they are and what they need rather than just as products of what we do. It allows us to parent more authentically and vulnerably and be more in the intuitive moment.

And it allows us to truly see our children in their fullness and gives the@ permission also, not to be perfect, but instead to be self-loving, resilient humans who understand that we are all humans doing our best and not perfect beings.

Be easier on yourself, mama. Every single day.
