Cuarentena. Sanhujori. Yuezi. Omugwo. Golden Month. 40-day confinement

Tradition whispers "slow down" 🧘‍♀️ while the world insists "keep up or be left behind" 🏃‍♀️💨. In modern times, postpartum families feel pressured to rush. Rush to heal.

⏸️ The body is healing. The mind is healing. The parent's identity is resolving. The parent is in survival mode for several weeks / months and is focused on:
1) maternal health & recovery
2) newborn care
3) safety

Nothing takes greater precedent than the needs of the parent and baby. Did you know - How the birth parent is supported during their postpartum will impact them for the rest of their life (e.g. PMADs, menopause, pelvic floor dysfunction)

Extended family and friends can support by caring for the birth parent's physical, emotional, and mental needs, so they can strictly rest, feed, and bond with the new baby.

✨️ handle all housework
✨️ plan and prepare warm, wet, nutritious meals
✨️ minimize the mental load
✨️ care for siblings, plants, and/or pets
✨️ check in on other parent and caregivers
✨️ keep home warm, quiet, calm, positive

"The Black Birth Joyline is HERE!!! 📲📞🥳

Listening to Black birthing people proclaiming their joy on the Birthright podcast has been the highlight of my year! 🌞 Especially after another year of more negative statistics about Black birth outcomes and Black maternal and infant deaths. We deserve some joy & healing! 🤎 It's time to pivot from the doom and gloom narrative too common in mainstream coverage of Black Birth and remember that joy is also a tool for
birth equity."

"On Veteran's Day, we uplift and commend the mothers who committed their life to service for our country AND to service for their family. To establish breast milk while active duty military is no easy feat. 💯

Today, and every day, I am proud to celebrate their dedication to learning this life preserving skill and investing in their future health alongside that of their children. 💪🏾

Here are the women soldiers I have photographed while nursing who served in the United States Military. Circa 2016-2025. I'm still working behind the scenes empowering mothers to trust their bodies and helping them to see this as purposeful, foundational work.🤱🏾

To sustain nursing for weeks, months, and beyond; feeds must be comfortable for the lactating parent and child.

Thank you IBCLC for sharing your go-to position when families are struggling with latch, painful feeds, and/or a baby experiencing digestive issues (gas, reflux, colic). This upright position is the Koala Hold. 🐨

Relax, work with gravity, and optimize skin-to-skin bonding. ✨️ This position can be upright or reclined. Happy nursing!

⭐️

"Laid back position in a chair

The laid back position can be a hugely helpful feeding position, and is often my go-to when l'm supporting families with breastfeeding. It can be a lot more instinctive, and comes with many less 'rules' than other positions.

Mothers are often worried about how they can use the position when out and about, so I thought these images might be really useful.

Success!

Have you tried this position? Let me know if you give it a go.

✨️ Reclaim control over what's within your control
✨️ Ease strong emotions to make centered decisions

Thank you for reminding us to release the intrusive thoughts. They are not ours to hold but to release.

Expectant and new parents are sometimes more sensitive to others' well-meaning stories, warnings, and reflections. That's their experience. Claim this new experience for yourself.

Exercise: Practice your affirmations with your birth partner and doula. Reflect on what comes up. Which affirmations are easier to speak? Which are more challenging to believe?

The divine feminine cycles. ♾️

As the mother / birthing person and baby progress in birth, the birthing waves become cyclical, too. The waves come more often, last longer, and surge with power.

Longer. Stronger. More frequent.

Ride the waves with fierce determination and courage because this means you're birthing well and are moving from early labor to active labor into transition. When waves are predictable, you can more easily work through the waves. You appreciate the lull and rest in the gap or may reposition yourself (rotating baby) or hydrate. Once you fall in rhythm, there's no stopping you! Here comes your baby!

Thank you and for this perfect visual! 🌊

⭐️

"It's HERE 👇👇👇👇
Contractions are like waves-powerful, rhythmic, and inevitable.

Your job? Work with them.

If you fight the waves, they will still come, but the resistance will make them feel heavier, harder, and more painful. Pain without purpose.

You can spend months researching the "best conditions for wave riding" (aka labor and birth), but nothing will fully predict what the waters will be like on the day you enter YOUR portal.

The best thing you can do? Surrender. Lean in. Ride each wave. Not with fear, but with trust in your body's power.

Here are some of my favorite mantras to anchor you through each one:
🌊 I can do anything for 2 minutes
🌊 That one is behind me.
🌊 I rest now.
🌊 Each wave is bringing my baby closer
🌊 We are safe.
🌊 My body is perfect.
🌊 We are working together.
🌊 Ride the wave. Ride the wave. Ride the wave.

You've got this, mama. And I'm here to guide you every step of the way.

Hang out with me for more real, honest guidance from a midwife & mama. 🫶 "

Be kind with everyone you meet. If we knew the heaviness people carry in their hearts, we'd be gentle. 💔

New life brings so much joy and anticipation that we struggle to make sense of loss. You can only truly know this pain when you've gone through the same experience. We see you, mother. We see you, father. We see you parents, siblings, grandparents, extended family. Find community with those who know this heartbreak, so you can continue speaking through the grief.

Did you know Doulas support families grieving the loss of a child during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum?

⭐️

" Follow for support on your healing journey 💖 October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month.

The grief of losing our son during pregnancy hasn't gone away, I've just learned how to carry it differently. I've shared this video the past two years, and still picture what life would be like with him here.

Talking about pregnancy and infant loss is important because for so long, people have suffered in silence, in pain, and in shame. It's important because conversation is finally happening that helps people know they aren't alone and their grief is valid. When people are given support to grieve, healing can happen.

✨️ If you know someone who has experienced loss, and haven't known what to do to support them, this month l'lalso be sharing resources to help you, too.

From how grief affects intimacy and marriages after loss, to why pregnancy and infant loss can feel so isolating, to feelings of betrayal from our body, to how we can honor our babies in our every day lives and tangible steps for healing, it's my hope to bring more tools and conversation this month around an experience that so many people share, but feel completely isolated in.

Sending love to all the families who carry the invisible burden of grief that comes from having a child the rest of the world will never see. 💖

Follow for support on your healing journey and share with your community to be a part of furthering the conversation. ✨️
