If anyone needs training… it’s parents.

Everything your little one does is BIOLOGICALLY normal.
It is what your baby was designed to do.

Frequent feeding? NORMAL
Always wanting to be in your arms? NORMAL
Hates sleeping alone aka the crib? NORMAL
Loves being rock? Considering the womb was a cradle…
yep totally NORMAL.

Now let me ask you this…

How often do YOU eat?
Do you like cuddling ?
What about sleeping alone?
If it were possible… wouldn’t you love to be rocked to sleep?

Babies aren’t meant to be trained.

We live in a society that rushes babies to grow up. From bouncers, to weaning off breast milk second solids enter the picture… everything is backwards.

Infants signal their needs for more than just food. They also need comfort, closeness and warmth… all of which they had in the womb.

Touch is fundamental to human communication, bonding, and health. As adults… we require human touch to thrive… and so do babies!

In just a short few years… your baby will be walking and exploring the world and they won’t need you as much as they do now.

So next time your little one is in need of your ‘assistance’ aka love and responsiveness, realize that they aren’t doing it to manipulate you or make you feel hopeless… they are doing it because they NEED you.

Breastfeeding doesn’t just make milk.. it keeps the hormone prolactin high, which rewires her brain to be more alert, sensitive, and tuned in to the baby.

At the same time, hormones like estrogen and progesterone stay low, which affects her mood, energy, sleep, and even intimacy.
So if she’s more tired, more emotional, or more focused on the baby than anything else.. it’s not “just in her head.”

It’s biology.
Breastfeeding keeps her body and mind in a postpartum state for as long as she nurses. She’s not back to “normal” yet. She’s doing life-sustaining, body-altering, and emotionally demanding work every single day.

Thank you for the patience, understanding, and effort in taking care of her 🤍

Today I honor the original caretakers of the land and the deep roots of Indigenous peoples. This day carries meaning for me as I reflect on my own family and where I come from.

My grandmother and most of my family is from Chihuahua, México. My grandmothers’ parents came to America carrying the weight of survival while raising a family of 12. In that journey, many traditions were left behind, but what they passed down was love, resilience, and the importance of family. That legacy lives in me.

Some of my sweetest memories are sitting with my grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-aunts, drinking cafecito together and the times my great-grandmother played the piano. When I was younger, my grandmother would make me sopita usually when I would get sick, and somehow that simple meal carried generations of care within it. My grandmother still tells me stories of growing up and visiting Mexico. Those moments are the heartbeat of where I come from.

This is why I’ve been digging into my roots, seeking out the traditions and practices that tie me closer to my lineage and ancestors. It’s how I remember what was set aside, and it’s why I share these gifts today as offerings in my work and in my life.

Being connected to Indigenous roots is not only about looking back. It’s about honoring survival as sacred, love as tradition, and remembering what guides us forward. Today I celebrate Indigenous peoples everywhere. My friends, my community, and all who continue to carry wisdom and culture with such strength.🧡

There’s power in how we speak about our bodies, our grief, our rebirth.

Language can either limit or liberate us.

As women, mothers, and survivors, we learn to translate pain into poetry.
