I met a mom last week who said, "I didn't breastfeed my twins, I pumped" ummmm squeeze me? You SURE DID breastfeed them!
One year, one month, one bottle a day, one day, one ounce. It all matters! It's all breastfeeding!!!!! It matters and we are proud of you!!

😬 Ok here I go again

🤔 Where did we get the idea that feeding to sleep is a bad habit?

➡️ MARKETING by companies who profit off of you needing different tools to get the sleep you so desperately want.

➡️ They want to sell you their course/bassinet/sleep consulting package/special swaddle/sheets/sound machine/etc.

➡️ They don’t make money on parents who confidently feed their baby to sleep at bedtime or for naps.

What is the silliest thing you’ve bought in hopes of getting more sleep?

This should not be a hot take but here goes:

Breastfeeding your baby to sleep is NOT a bad habit to be broken.

It is a superpower.

It is biologically normal.

It’s almost impossible not to do.

And there’s no reason to stop doing it, unless you want to.

➡️ Did/do you feed your baby to sleep? What’s your favorite thing about it? Tell us in the comments!

On Substack today: the one thing Nicole shares with every mom feeling overwhelmed by their fussy baby.

🚫It’s not “they’ll grow out of it”.
🚫It’s not “ have you tried cutting out dairy” or “try putting them down drowsy but awake” 😑

It’s deeper than that, and it changed everything for me when I first heard it.

Telling a struggling mom she can always use formula isn’t the supportive flex you think it is.

If that message is folded into a post on social media…then it’s very likely formula marketing.

That mom struggling with breastfeeding doesn’t need to be reminded of formula.

And she doesn’t need your permission.

She needs real, meaningful support. At an individual and societal level.

We are not anti-formula! We are against formula companies exploiting very real struggles to sell their products.

If you have a new mom in your life—ESPECIALLY if you’re her partner-

Tell her-
You’re such a good mom

I love seeing you become a mother

You are doing such an amazing job

I see how hard you’re working

You are the perfect mom for our baby

You think she knows, but she may not.

I promise, she can’t hear it enough.

Just because I can [insert task/activity you’re feeling itchy to do] doesn’t mean I should do that thing.

If you’re pregnant or postpartum chances are you need rest more than a decluttered closet.

I know it’s so hard, I’m right here with you!
