This is not breastfeeding related but is maternal health related. Miss Uganda 2026 recently wore a stunning dress titled "The Layers of Life". The dress was inspired by the layers of tissue that are cut during a C-section delivery. The Ugandan designer who created the dress, said the finished product was a “celebration of the strength, beauty and miracle of a woman’s journey in bringing life into the world”, with each layer representing “a part of the body, a purpose and a story”. Check out this gorgeous dress with a special meaning in the link below.

Can drinking Dr Pepper boost milk supply??? That is just one of the newest "trends" that influencers are suggesting to breastfeeding parents. Past trends like Starbuck's Pink Drink, Blue Gatorade, Oatmeal cookies, Belvita Biscuits...none of those were proven to work so it's highly unlikely popping open a can of Dr Pepper will. As always, frequent and effective milk removal will always be the most tried and true method.

Black Breastfeeding Week kick off tomorrow. Sharing this very powerful article from Le Leche League. Black women, historically, have the lowest breastfeeding rates. These women and their families face multiple breastfeeding barriers such as limited resources and support as well as a lack of normalcy. This year's theme aligns perfectly with this article.
