This is a beautiful realistic representation of breastfeeding. It takes a village and support to keep going cuz these babies want our bo***es to be portable and detachable 😂🥲

Respectfully lol. Yes there is a difference in the types of cries and what is being communicated, however, just letting your baby full blown cry to learn to regulate themselves is not healthy! Example: hear baby on the baby monitor wake and *cry/whine* a little and drift right back off to sleep is not the same as baby wakes and is fully crying.

“The presence of myo-inositol is high in early lactation, gradually diminishing over time, and is independent of the mother’s diet, race, and location.”

Researchers discovered that myo-inositol, a small cyclic sugar molecule found in breast milk, plays a crucial role in promoting neuronal connections in infants' brains.

- nurse discreetly
- soothes most babies

Tip #2 : Spoon/Cup Feeding
- great for babies refusing the bottle
- great for babies having trouble latching
- allows for someone else to take care of baby while mom rest

Tip #3 : Side-Lying position
- gives mom and baby a relaxed environment
- no back strain
- make sure you’re co-sleeping safely!!!
