They say we are made of stardust.
So when I feed my baby, it feels like the universe doing what it has always done, creating, sustaining, protecting life.
Milk.
Light.
Love.
All intertwined.

Breastfeeding Isn’t Just Feeding. It’s Comfort.

Babies don’t just nurse when they’re hungry.
They nurse when they’re scared, overwhelmed, overstimulated, or exhausted.

The breast is familiarity.
It’s safety.
It’s home in a world that’s still brand new.

If your baby nurses “just to comfort,” they aren’t using you.
They’re trusting you.

Be honest… which number hit you the hardest 😂🤱
For me it was the cold coffee and the surprise letdowns.

Breastfeeding is wild.

Breast milk and “cold season” go hand in hand. 🤒 When the germs start flying, your milk becomes the most protective thing in the house. The second you or your baby are exposed to something, your body starts making targeted antibodies that show up in your breast milk almost immediately. That means every feed is delivering immune support, comfort, hydration, and protection all at once.

So yes, keep nursing through the sniffles, the coughs, the “why is everyone sick again” moments. Your milk literally adjusts to what your baby needs. It’s not just food… it’s active immune protection in real time. ❄️🤱🏼
