A Mother’s “No” Is Not Attitude…
It Is Protection 🥺🤍

“Please don’t give sugar…”
“Please don’t show mobile…”
“Please don’t wake the baby…”
“Please don’t kiss the baby’s face…”

Sometimes people think mothers are being “too much” 😞

But a mother notices things others don’t… 🤍

She notices:
✨ Sleep changes
✨ Tummy issues
✨ Overstimulation
✨ Sugar rush
✨ Screen dependency
✨ Mood changes
✨ Feeding struggles

Because mothers carry the mental load of protecting their child every single day 💔

So when a mother says “no”…
Most of the time it comes from:
🥺 exhaustion
🥺 experience
🥺 concern
🥺 love
🥺 protection

Not ego.
Not control.
Not disrespect.

Boundaries are not against people…
They are FOR the child 🤍

And motherhood teaches something painful sometimes…
Protecting your child may disappoint other people 💛

Respect a mother’s instinct.
Because nobody studies a child more carefully than their mother 🥺🤍

How amazing is this???

Your milk transforms into personalised medicine for your baby.

When your baby is sick and they feed at the breast, their saliva flows backwards into your breast, and your body starts making antibodies to help them get better.

Whooping cough, also known as pertussis, is a highly contagious bacterial infection that affects the lungs and airways and can be especially dangerous for babies and young children.

🤧 What are the symptoms?
It often starts like a common cold (runny nose, mild fever, cough), but then develops into severe coughing fits that can last for weeks or even months.

Children may:
• Have long coughing spells followed by a “whooping” sound.
• Struggle to breathe or gasp for air.
• Vomit after coughing.
• Become exhausted.

⚠️ In babies, it can be life-threatening and may not always include the “whoop.” Vaccination is the best way to protect your child from whooping cough and its complications.

⚠️Some children with physical disabilities struggle to cough and may be more at risk of complications from whooping cough, so be extra cautious if your child is unwell

Remember, babies are most at risk before they are fully vaccinated; however, getting vaccinated can help reduce the risk of severe illness and death.

Prevention starts with protection. Vaccines save lives.
