It’s my favorite session!🍁🍂.
Motherhood is a season all its own — and as autumn reminds us to slow down, nurture, and gather warmth 🍂, it’s the perfect time to pour back into yourself while you pour into your baby.
Here are 10 Autumn Self-Care Rituals for breastfeeding moms 🧡:
🧘🏽♀️1. Create a Cozy Feeding Space
Wrap yourself in a soft blanket, light a candle, and enjoy the quiet bonding moments.
💧2. Sip Nourishing Drinks
Warm herbal teas (like rooibos or chamomile) and bone broth can soothe and hydrate while supporting milk production.
🥗 3. Eat Seasonally
Enjoy hearty soups, roasted veggies, oats, and nourishing fall fruits like apples and pears — fuel for your body and your supply.
💧 4. Stay Hydrated
Cooler temps can make you forget to drink water — keep a bottle near your feeding chair or set reminders.
📓 5. Journal Your Wins
Write down moments of gratitude or milestones — your journey is worth celebrating.
🧣 6. Layer for Comfort
Wear soft, warm layers that make feeding easy and cozy indoors or on crisp fall walks.
📱 7. Set Boundaries with Screens
Replace endless scrolling with mindful moments — a walk, a book, or quiet reflection during nap time.
🕯 8. Embrace Slow Evenings
Dim the lights, play soft music, and let your body unwind with your baby beside you.
👩👧 9. Ask for Help
Lean on your village — a hot meal, laundry folded, or someone to hold baby while you rest is self-care, too.
💗 10. Schedule Your Care
You matter — plan your check-ups, lactation follow-ups, and mental health check-ins.
✨ Remember: Caring for you is caring for them.
