An ounce of breast milk can look so small in a bottle, but to your baby, it can mean everything. 💛

That single ounce represents minutes or hours spent pumping when you were exhausted. It represents late nights, early mornings, sore breasts, tears, determination, and love. It represents showing up again and again even when progress feels slow or invisible.

For premature or medically fragile babies, that ounce can help protect against infection, support gut healing, and help their tiny bodies grow stronger day by day. For babies learning to feed, it can be the difference between hunger and comfort. For mothers separated from their babies, it becomes a way to still nurture and provide even when you cannot always be at the bedside.

Sometimes mothers worry because the bottles are not full yet. They compare ounces, sessions, or freezer stashes. But what truly matters is that you are providing something uniquely made for your baby. Every drop carries antibodies, nutrition, and comfort that no one else can make.

And every ounce also tells a story. A story of persistence on the days you wanted to quit. A story of choosing to try again after a hard pumping session. A story of loving your baby enough to keep going even when it feels like no one sees how hard you are working.

So if today you only pumped an ounce, know this. That ounce matters. It nourishes. It protects. It helps your baby grow. And it proves how much heart you are pouring into this journey.

Small amounts add up. One ounce becomes many. One day becomes weeks. And before you know it, all those small efforts build something powerful for your baby.

Be proud of every drop. Because every ounce is made with love, and love always matters. ✨

"On-demand feeding is about responding, nor watching the clock."

#𝐵𝓊𝒽𝒶𝓎𝒮𝒶𝐵𝒶𝓌𝒶𝓉𝒫𝒶𝓉𝒶𝓀 #𝒫𝒶𝑔𝓈𝒶𝓃𝒿𝒶𝓃𝐻𝓊𝓂𝒶𝓃𝑀𝒾𝓁𝓀𝐻𝓊𝒷

Feeding “every 2–3 hours” is a guide, not a rule.

Babies aren’t machines — and neither are adults.
We eat when we’re hungry, when we need comfort, when our bodies ask. Babies do the same.

On-demand feeding is about responding, not watching the clock.
Some feeds come closer together. Some stretch longer. Both can be normal.

Timing can be helpful when you’re learning — but cues matter more than minutes.

You’re not breaking a rule by listening to your baby.
You’re practicing physiology.

The American Academy of Pediatrics new clinical report, "Promoting Human Milk and Breastfeeding for the Very Low Birth Weight Infant: Clinical Report," reaffirms that a mother’s own milk is the standard for very low birth weight (VLBW) infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

Dear NICU mama 💙

I see you sitting beside a pump instead of holding your baby. I see the quiet hours, the alarms in the background, and the ache of doing the work of motherhood without the closeness you deserve.

Pumping was not how you imagined feeding your baby. It feels mechanical, lonely, and exhausting. But please know this….

Every drop you pump is an act of love. It is nourishment, protection, and comfort traveling from you to your baby even when your arms cannot be there yet.

There are days when the bottles feel too small, when your body feels tired, and when you wonder if it is worth it. On those days, remember that pumping is still breastfeeding. Your milk is still your voice, your warmth, and your presence reaching your baby through those tiny feeds.

You are not just making milk. You are showing up. You are choosing your baby again and again through sore ni***es, interrupted sleep, and emotional weight that few truly understand. That dedication matters. It matters to your baby, even if they cannot tell you yet.

One day, this pump will be packed away. Whether your journey leads to nursing, bottle feeding, or a different path altogether, what will remain is the truth that you did everything you could with the information, strength, and love you had at the time 💕

Be gentle with yourself. Rest when you can. Ask for help without guilt. You are a good mother, not because of how much milk you make, but because of how deeply you love 🫶🏼

With so much respect,
From a lactation counselor who sees you 🤍

The global formula milk industry spends billions to influence decisions over what parents feed their babies. Marketing tactics are often covert, disguised as impartial health advice including:

💰 Sponsored advice networks or ‘helplines’
💰 Practices to influence health worker advice
💰 Secretly sponsored endorsements
💰 Freebies and marketing materials in healthcare

Parents always have the right to choose how to feed their baby, but they should have reliable information – free from corporate influence - to help them make these choices.
