@Regranned from @wives_and_mothers - Lets not pretend that breastfeeding is always as glamorous as social media makes it. Now I'm all here for the advocacy and normalizing but let's be honest sometimes it's not that fun. I secretly wish I could hand of the baby to someone for a day and NIGHT to get some rest but the crunchy, organic breastfeeding Nazi living inside me would never let that happen🤣 I know the benefits of breast milk definitely outweigh the desire to have my body completely back but I still fantasize about going out for a drank without the worry of contaminating my milk. Maybe that's why some women mommy shame formula feeding moms, because they secretly feel some level of unfairness. Meanwhile in the poverty stricken slums of the Philippines this is not even a real discussion. So interesting how privelege and money hungry businesses can create so much psychological turmoil. One mama crying cause she too poor to buy formula, ashamed to pull out her breasts, while another mama falling into a depression cause she failed at breastfeeding (cause no one could properly help her) and her baby on Similac. #theworldwelivein #postpartumreflections. @herholisticpath. · · · · #fourthtrimester #mmfanpics #tellitmoms #motherhood #blackmomsblog #blackishmom #blackmomsdobreastfeed #uniteinmotherhood #motherhoodrising #blackmomsdobabywear #mommyblogger #newmom #natural_mommies #blackmomskillingit #stopcensoringmotherhood #breastfeeding #breastfeedingmom #blackwomendoclothdiaper #breastfeedingaversion #bf #postpartumbody #blackmoms #blackmomsblog #breastfeedingart #normalizebreastfeeding #breastisbest #breastfeedingwithoutfear #mamasmilk

#fbf to when this guy turned two. Wow! How fast this journey goes. So. Very. Grateful for the space and life to seize the time and be in charge of my schedule and be with them as they grow. This little pooper had a fever earlier this week and I was able to drop into all day nursing with him. What a radical life this is. 💕 From our bodies we can create the next generation, feed them and with luck and the right combination of coconut oil and breastmilk heal most minor ailments.

The true let-down reflex

“One quiet evening as I nursed my daughter to sleep, I reflected on the term “let-down” and I began to wonder how this term came to be used in regard to breastfeeding. It usually means disappointment and hurt. The total opposite is what occurs when I nurse my infant daughter, The breastfeeding let-down was by then a very familiar feeling to me, yet it can't really be described. My daughter sucked and wriggled and sucked more to coax the milk out. After a few brief moments, I felt the fullness-almost an ache-my breasts seemed hard and ready to overflow. And then the change in her breathing as she began drinking in with long, slow gulps, eyes closed, in utter peace and abandonment. I looked down at this small being who was cradled against my body. As I stroked her soft, sweet skin, I felt the overwhelming release of love which, to me, is what the let down truly is”. ~Jo Ellen Carson-Georgia, USA

This quote moved me to tears. It is the perfect description of the raw, powerful emotions that come with having a child nurse at your breast. It is that profound contentment on their face that draws us deep inside the love we have for our children and binds us together in an instinctual connection.
