Too much Foremilk? Not enough Hindmilk? 🤷🏼‍♀️ Don’t overthink it ! I love this article from Nancy Mohrbacher

Worries About Foremilk and Hindmilk — Nancy Mohrbacher A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing.  This has never been so true as in the ongoing debate about foremilk and hindmilk and their impact on breastfeeding.  The misunderstandings around these concepts have caused anxiety, upset, and even led to breastfeeding problems and prem

Are you pregnant or breastfeeding and wondering about the safety of the COVID-19 vaccine? Please see the statement from the Infant Risk Center:
The InfantRisk Center has received numerous queries concerning the use of Covid-19 Vaccinations in pregnant and breastfeeding mothers. Below are recommendations from several groups.
"Plain Language Summary:
Similar to other medications, pregnant and/or breastfeeding women have not been included in studies to determine how well COVID vaccines work or how safe they are. Based on what we understand from similar vaccines, we believe the risks that come with vaccination will probably be low. Therefore, while we wait for more information, each mother and provider should discuss what choice fits their situation best. The risk and benefit of the vaccine should be compared to each mother’s individual risk for getting COVID-19 as well as how well she is expected to tolerate the disease."
For updates on this information please see www.cdc.gov and www.infantrisk.com

Sure it might be scary to read but it’s even scarier to say ....so let’s make sure no one else has to travel this road. Have you suffered with Postpartum Depression? If you have, SHARE YOUR GENES for research!!!

"I have a hard time after I have my babies."

That's the euphemism I use if anyone asks about my kids as newborns. But the reality? I had crippling Postpartum depression (PPD).

Each time it presented differently, but an unfortunate common thread all 3 times was that my PPD spiraled into suicidal thoughts that bombarded me daily. My husband was really the only one who knew the extent of it - how do you go about bringing this up in polite company? "Yeah, whatever Postpartum hormone cocktail my body produces makes me want to kill myself, anyone else?"

I hate how PPD stole the beginning of my motherhood, but there is a hopeful ending. Eventually with time, medication, and sharing, the darkness fades. And while I can't change what happened to me in the past I can influence the future. Participating in this research study felt empowering - because if I can do anything to prevent my children from going through the hell I did, I will.

Without mothers like Tabitha, we wouldn't be able to do the important work that we do. Our hope is that no future mom will have to suffer from postpartum depression. Thank you for sharing your story with us. If you have a story you'd like to share, DM us, we'd love to hear from you. ♥️
