Love this art 💕

Before pumps were invented, if you couldn't nurse, you expressed milk by hand (...) this method is still common."

📚The Art of Breastfeeding
9th Edition
(La Leche League International, 2024)

🧡 This sculpture - Idole de fécondité - from the 4th millennium BC is a wonderful depiction of a mother hand expressing milk into a bowl.

Did you know that postpartum anxiety is more common than postpartum depression?

Anxiety can present in breastfeeding in many ways. Here are just a couple...
- Worry about milk transfer despite adequate weight gain
- Excessive written or digital tracking of feedings and pump sessions (beyond the first couple of weeks when weight gain is on track)

If you need reassurance that breastfeeding is going well or help because it isn't, we are here to help.
