Each and everyone of you!!!

Thank you for showing up, for the late nights, the cracked ni***es, the tears, and the quiet victories no one else saw.

Thank you for choosing to do something ancient, powerful, and sacred in a world that often tells you it’s unnecessary, inconvenient, or outdated.

Thank you for trusting your body when society made you doubt it. For saying no to pressure and yes to biology, even when the world around you questioned it. You’ve heard the comments: “It doesnt matter either way” “You’re still breastfeeding?” “All kids eat nuggies off the floor anyway.” And still, you kept going.

You fed your baby with your body, in parking lots, bathrooms, supply closets, hospital chairs, and sleepless nights. You pumped between shifts, packed milk in coolers, and whispered “just one more ounce” through exhaustion and grace.

You weren’t doing “what’s best”, you were doing what’s right. What nature intended. What every mammal before you has done to sustain life.
And you did it in a culture that praises everything artificial and questions everything biological.

You breastfed through mastitis, clogged ducts, tongue ties, postpartum anxiety, and the endless noise of people who don’t understand.

You breastfed when you were told your milk wasn’t enough, but it was. You breastfed when your letdown burned, your baby cried, and your patience thinned, but love remained steady.

You didn’t just make milk, you made antibodies, comfort, and connection. You regulated your baby’s heartbeat, temperature, hormones, and emotions, with nothing more than your presence.

And even if no one ever said it, thank you.

Thank you for showing other women that breastfeeding isn’t weakness, it’s resistance. Thank you for proving that nurture and nature still belong in the same sentence. Thank you for being the quiet revolution, for every mother who was told she couldn’t, shouldn’t, or didn’t need to.

You are the proof that the system is what’s broken, not your body. Your milk is medicine. Your effort is advocacy. And your baby is thriving because you did what you were designed to do.

Breastfeeding isn’t easy, but you made it possible.
And for that, you deserve to be thanked, celebrated, and protected. 🩷🤱🏼

We dont call it liquid gold for nothing!!!

Something most people never realize… your body is a living pharmacy.

Every time your baby latches, you’re not just nourishing them, you’re delivering customized medicine: antibodies, anti-inflammatories, hormones, enzymes, stem cells, and comfort all in one. Your milk shifts with your baby’s age, time of day, and even their saliva signals, fine-tuning itself to meet their exact needs.

No prescription can match that kind of precision.
No lab can replicate that kind of intelligence.

The most powerful pharmacy in the world doesn’t have walls, it has you. 🤱🏼💫

In honor of being Movember and it supporting Men's Health, we figured that we would do a giveaway (we can't grow mustaches 🤣).

Let's talk about preconception health and s***m (in a medically way, guys! We know what you're thinking! Stahhhppppp!!!!):

--The s***m production cycle takes about 2 months for production and maturation. Any changes made to improve s***m health will take 2-3 months to be reflected in the *whispers* ᴱᴶᴬᶜᵁᴸᴬᵀᴱ.

-High s***m DNA fragmentation is linked to an increased risk of miscarriage, doubling the risk for pregnancy loss.

So what can you do to help prevent that? Well, taking care of yourself for one AND you guessed it, grabbing some vitamins from us at OMC! DM us and we can set a bottle out for pickup!
