"Chichi" viene del náhuatl 😍👍😲
Chichihualli es "seno o pecho"
Chichihualyolcatl es "pezon"
Chichitia es "amamantar"
Chichihualayotl es "leche"
Chichihuacuauhco es "el árbol nodriza/que da leche" y es el paraíso a dónde van los bebés que murieron al nacer o antes.
La palabra "Chichis " o "chichi" proviene del náhuatl que significa "mamar" o sea, la acción de mamar, incluso, cuando una bruja o un nahual chupaba a alguien, el verbo que se utilizaba era nitechichina (significa literalmente “chupar a la gente”); una nodriza (la persona que amamanta a los bebés ajenos) era una chichiua; el verbo para “mamar” era nicchichi y un oc chichi piltontli era el lactante, un niño que todavía mama.

No one warned me what the epidural would really do to my body.
They told me it might not work.
They told me I might get a headache.
They told me I’d feel pressure, not pain.

But nobody told me I’d be dealing with back pain for years.
Nobody mentioned the shooting nerve pain.
The stiffness.
The way my spine would never quite feel right again.

They said it would wear off.
They said I’d be fine.

And maybe for some women, that’s true.

But for me? That needle didn’t just numb my labor.
It wrecked my back.
And no one warned me.

I’d still make the best decision I could with the information I had at the time, but I wish I’d been told the whole truth.
The long term truth.
The “your back will never be the same” truth.

This isn’t to scare anyone.
It’s to say,
Informed consent means being informed of everything, not just the convenient parts.

Did you know that your milk contains painkilling and anti-inflammatory properties? I didn't. And I worried and felt stressed during the times when my son suddenly seemed to want nothing but b**b for days.

Then his teeth came through. Or it turned out he had a cold. Or nothing and it just passed. And when he hurt himself, cuddles and milk just sorted it out.

It always made sense that he'd want to be close when he was under the weather, but sometimes, I resented it because I found myself wondering if this was in fact normal, or whether I had perhaps made that proverbial rod for my back.

Then one day, when he was 16 months, I learned that my milk was giving him painkillers and anti-inflammatory components.

And it all fell into place.

I was still exhausted, but I didn't resent or worry about his increased feeds during colds or teething etc. I felt proud and amazed.

But also angry that no-one had ever told me about just how incredible my body and my milk was. Angry that the default advice was "Careful, rod for your own back".

So that’s why we're telling you. Because you really are truly incredible and everyone needs to know it.
