HONEY Doula, Lactation & Nutrition

In the beginning we hear all the encouragement and benefits regarding breastfeeding.

"Any amount of breastmilk she gets is beneficial."

"If you can breastfeed her until the colostrum is gone."

"If you can just make it those first few months, he would benefit so much."

The encouragement continues UNTIL...

You hit that 1st birthday.

Then all of the encouragement stops and people start asking,

"When are you going to stop breastfeeding her."

"Do plan to pump it and put it in a cup."

"He is just using you as a pacifier."

So, here are some facts about breastmilk AFTER the first year👇🏼

16oz of breasmilk provides:
• 30% of daily calories needed
• Almost half of daily protein
• 20% of daily calcium
• So many vitamins and minerals

There is nothing wrong with continuing to breastfeed your little one past the first year! And if no one else is there to support you, I am here to say,

You are doing an AMAZING job, and I am proud of you🖤

push & pull

Sitting with myself over the past few days, I've been leaning into some exciting and icky things.
•
Exciting because I feel more present with myself while "doing the work" ( ) and it's so thrilling to be an active participant in my life for what feels like maybe the first time.
And icky because doing the work often feels ~uncomfortable~
•
I feel the /pull/ of old habits and old thought patterns and I notice myself doing things that past versions of myself would do.
•
And I don't want to be that anymore so I get to make the hard and thrilling decision that those things aren't for me and that it's okay to leave them in the past, because I've got me, I'm capable of doing hard things, fully, as the version of my self I want to be.
•
I've also noticed this with my doula clients, typically the ones who are doing something for the first time. They know that they are on the precipice of something big. It feels as though, around their edges, the pull is there too. The pulling away from doing hard things. And in the best way I know how, I get to help them notice that pull and say "let's lean in together"
•
Because when we push back at the pull, amazing and thrilling and beautiful things happen.
