Nursing to Nurture

At Nursing to Nurture, our mission extends beyond supporting mothers with nurturing their babies; we also provide care and assistance to the mothers themselves.

Becoming a mother is one of life's most precious experiences, yet it can be overwhelming and challenging.

Our goal is to offer guidance, education, and support throughout this significant life transition.

Happy mom - happy baby

Keep in mind that your infant's small body is undergoing significant development and numerous changes, which are temporary - this phase will not last forever.

Today is International Children's Day, and we are celebrating the ultimate gift of health: breastmilk. It is so much more than food; it's live medicine. For young or first-time mothers, every single drop of colostrum and milk you provide acts as your baby’s first vaccine, coating their gut and protecting them from infections. If you need help getting started or are facing challenges, reach out to an SACLC certified professional today.

It is not chaotic; rather, it is entirely normal.

The early weeks may be extremely exhausting for new parents, but rest assured that frequent feeding, waking, and desire for proximity and holding are all normal newborn behaviors.

Nourishing today - building tomorrow

Human milk storage guidelines:

- Always wash your hands
- Pumping equipment should be cleaned according to manufacturer's instructions
- Milk should be stored in clean, food-grade containers
- Thaw frozen milk overnight in the refrigerator or under warm running water - slow thawing in the refrigerator causes the least fat loss.
- Thawed milk should be used within 24 hours because it lacks the ability of fresh milk to inhibit bacterial growth

Behind every donated bottle/bag of breastmilk is a mother choosing to share love beyond her own baby 🤍

If you’re blessed with an oversupply, consider becoming a breastmilk donor.

If your freezer has a little extra, consider donating to help a baby in need grow stronger every day.

Your extra milk could be someone’s answered prayer ✨🤱
