No one tells you the exact moment your baby will nurse for the very last time. It won’t come with a warning or a countdown. It’ll just… happen. And one day you’ll realize it was the last, and you’ll wish you could go back and hold on a little longer. Tonight, even in the exhaustion, soak it in, mama these are the moments we’ll never get back. 💕🤱

And you're not a 24mm 🙈

If you had elastic ni***es, you'd have hypermobility/elastic tissue other places in your body like skin and joints. No one is JUST hypermobile in the ni***es.

"But I went down and it hurt!" Still too big 😬

Isn't this amazing?!!😮 Not only does your milk help your baby grow, it also helps grow their developing brain! A recent study out of Yale found a molecule (myo-inositol) in human milk that increases the abundance & function of synapses (or connections) in your baby's brain! It also appears to be dose-dependent meaning the more human milk your baby has the more benefits they receive! A fantastic reminder that your milk is so much more than just a source of food for your baby!

While scientists have long recognized the link between the amazing properties of human milk and brain development, this new discovery shows just how much more we have to learn when it comes to understanding precisely how milk helps grow the connections in your baby's brain. You can learn more about this amazing discovery here TinyURL.com/BrainBoostingMilk

While there is a definite push to get formula fed babies on bigger feeds, less often, as they get older, this is an unlikely expectation for breastfed babies.

Because the maximum storage capacity of the mother’s breasts stays more or less the same throughout a feeding journey, rather than increasing as a baby ages, it’s fair to assume that an average feed for a breastfed baby will remain similar throughout.

For a breastfed baby, from about 4-6 weeks of age, we work off the calculation of offering 30-45ml/hour per feed, with an expectation of a maximum feed likely being between 3-4 ounces. (90-120ml)

Offering more than this in a bottle risks wasting that precious milk you’ve pumped with love!

Did you know this?

Don’t forget, also, that breastfed babies will come to the breast for comfort and regulation as well as for food. Many parts of breastfeeding can’t be replicated with a bottle.

During World War II, when the world was in turmoil and resources were scarce, breastfeeding wasn’t just a personal choice it was considered an act of service to one’s country. With formula hard to come by, milk from a mother’s body became a lifeline, nourishing babies when nothing else could. Posters even urged women to see breastfeeding as patriotic, reminding them that every drop of milk was part of the war effort.

Today, while the battlefield looks different, the courage of mothers remains the same. Every time you nurse your baby through the exhaustion, the doubts, and the long nights you are giving life, strength, and security in a world that doesn’t always feel steady. You may not see a poster hanging in your honor, but know this, what you are doing is powerful, timeless, and worthy of recognition. 🤱💪

You are not just feeding a baby you are continuing a legacy of resilience that has carried humanity through its darkest hours.
