Still our favorite way to co-regulate and calm down.

Bathtime with babe means lots of skin-to-skin which is great for boosting milk production. 🫧

Babies are exclusively breastfed, but I pump exclusively to donate. The need for donor milk is incredibly high, and the impact it can make in families' lives is even higher.

You don't need bags and bags of frozen milk either.

Could you pump one ounce a day to set aside for a baby in need? If yes, then you could be a life-saving donor.

Comment PUMP if you want more info on how to become a donor.

Conversations with my breastfed baby. 🗣

I've had a health issue that's forced me to step back from a number of responsibilities lately, but one thing I would never quit - nursing these babes.

Mental health conditions—including su***de and overdose—are now considered the leading cause of pregnancy-related death in the United States.

One of my favorite reasons to save colostrum 🤍

When baby gets sick. 🥺

Colostrum is the very first milk your body makes, and it’s incredibly concentrated in immune and protective components. Many families collect and freeze small syringes of it during late pregnancy or the early postpartum days—and later use it during illness as an extra immune-supportive boost.

Colostrum is especially rich in:
• Secretory IgA antibodies
• Lactoferrin
• Leukocytes (living immune cells)
• Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs)
• Growth factors
• Anti-inflammatory compounds
• Beta-carotene (which gives it that golden color!)

A tiny amount contains an enormous concentration of biological activity.

It’s one of the many reasons colostrum is often called “liquid gold.” 💛

3 months of an exclusive human milk diet 🤍

In just 90 days, human milk helped build his brain, immune system, gut microbiome, and metabolism during one of the fastest periods of growth in human life.

Exclusively breastfed infants are associated with:
• fewer ear infections
• fewer respiratory and GI illnesses
• fewer doctor visits and hospitalizations
• lower risk of NEC in vulnerable infants
• lower long-term risk of obesity, type 1 & type 2 diabetes, asthma, and certain childhood cancers

And the wild part?
Human milk isn’t static.

My milk changed with him every single day:
• antibodies tailored to his environment
• shifting fat/calorie content for growth
• bioactive components supporting immune and gut development
• sleep-inducing hormones changing from day to night

Human milk isn’t just food.
It’s dynamic, living biological care. ✨

Ps. need to record and post this again in about a week, cause baby is almost SIX months old now! 😵‍💫🥴
