Negative feelings about feeding your baby can come up in many unexpected ways, but all of them are valid, and deserve to be heard, honored, and healed.

Before I became a perinatal mental health specialist, I worked for several years as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. While I no longer offer IBCLC services, I do have a lot of experience working with nursing moms, so I have a deep appreciation for the unique challenges that they can face. If you're working through any of these types of feelings, please know that you're not alone, and it can get better. Let's talk about it. 💛

Happy Halloween from North Star Wellness! Those early holidays with little ones can be SO fun... just remember to give yourself grace. If the costume isn't perfect, or you're too tired to make that cute themed meal you saw on Pinterest, or an overstimulated kiddo needs to call it a night early, you're still making the memories that count. You're still a good mom. 🧡

Awareness about postpartum mood disorders is on the rise, which is a great step towards supporting moms and babies. It's important to also be aware of mood disorders that can begin before the birth. You might hear these referred to as "antenatal" depression or anxiety, and while they may feel scary, they are treatable. Mental health care is prenatal care. You’re not alone — talk to your provider or reach out for support.

You deserve to take care of You. Moms put themselves last too often. It's okay to take time for yourself, and it's okay to ask for backup when you are having trouble getting that time! That's one of the reasons "it takes a village"--if one person is doing everything, they risk illness, fatigue, and burnout, which doesn't serve anyone.

"You can't pour from an empty cup."
"Secure your own oxygen mask before helping others."

There's a reason these statements are cliche...and a reason why we use them so frequently! As moms, we often find ourselves in the position of trying to be everything to everyone, and rarely taking time to check in with ourselves. We can't help others if we're running on empty, so take time to take care of YOU.
