✨ Welcome to Indigenous Milk Medicine Week 2025! ✨ We begin this week with deep gratitude and fierce love. Our theme, Unapologetically Indigenous: Love, Landback, and Liberation. It calls us to honor the sacredness of Milk Medicine and the communities who carry it forward.

🧡 Whether you're joining a session, moving in the Virtual 5K, or simply holding space in your heart, today we celebrate the strength of Native breast/chestfeeding families and the traditions that nourish generations.

🎉 Spirit Week Starts Today! ✨Let’s flood the feed with joy, pride, and unapologetic presence. Today we celebrate what it means to be Unapologetically Indigenous—in all the ways we show up, shine, and carry our cultures forward.

Rock your keenest cultural attire—whatever that looks like for you. We want to see it!

I saw a few older babies this week and it got me thinking about that really early bonding time, like in the first few weeks. When you are getting all that skin to skin, staring contests, and snuggly time, you are setting yourself up for:

-being able to understand and respond to your baby’s cues and needs
-easily fulfilling baby’s needs (sleep, feeding, comfort, etc)
-trusting yourself to confidently care for baby
-trusting your baby to tell you what they need
-getting through those tough times like starting solids, teething, developmental leaps and motor milestones together

It’s hard to describe this responsive bond that you and your baby can create, but it is so powerful! Don’t take those early weeks for granted. Hold off anything related to scheduling baby, creating independence, self soothing, all of that—just bond with your baby and learn about them for the first few weeks (or more!). You will create an impact for the rest of their lives.
