Let's toast to YOU, your babies, your families, and your amazing milk 🎉💗🤱🏽 for Indigenous Milk Medicine Collective with something special this week - an Indigy Milk Mocktail!

Also, it's a celebration of the good life we're creating for the next generations through the way we parent and feed them, from the first latch to creating healthy, wholesome rituals with them. Our community has struggled with alcohol/substance use since contact, but that's not who we are - it's something that was put onto to us. We can celebrate all day every day with heartberries, baby giggles, and the fires of yesterday and tomorrow. Also, yes - I'll be sharing the full recipe for a delicious, herbal l, lactogenic, electrolyte boosting mocktail shortly!
