YES! 📣 📣 📣

“Resharing this GEM that I made last year around the same time because it's definitely needed. The holidays can be a huge stress for families, especially with babies. The anxiety filled messages I've been receiving have been heartbreaking to say the least.⠀
⠀
Mommas feeling like they HAVE to explain, appease, comply, do what their family is telling them basically. And it's just not true.⠀
⠀
Please do not feel like you have to change your style of parenting to make your family, or anyone else for that matter, comfortable. ⠀
⠀
You are the momma. That is your baby.⠀
⠀
You don't have to pass baby around, or force your toddler or child to huge someone or sit on their lap. Babies and children don't learn trust or independence by being forced or pushed.⠀
⠀
Babies being passed around is extremely overstimulating for them. There are also times where relatives may try to soothe baby when in fact they need to nurse. (See below)⠀
⠀
Please, for the love of God, do not try and skip or stretch feeds....mastitis and clogs skyrocket around the holidays because we are usually so busy, trying to get everything done, be everywhere, do everything. Don't do it. Set a timer/alarm on your phone for every couple hours. Have your spouse or another family member remind you. Anything. Just keep nursing or expressing OFTEN. For your supply and for your health.⠀
⠀
Rest. Relax. Stay hydrated. And nurse that baby! As much as you can!”

“The normal thing in this picture is the breastfeeding. (and maybe the man with his 👣 up).
.
But the fact I was doing it in public seemed to surprise many people more than the fact I was running 106 miles 3 months after giving birth.
.
In this photo I’m not on a stage – I’m tucked away, at the side of a sports hall. Noone even noticed me bar @alexis_berg who took the photo. Yet I had online comments telling me to “put my boobs away”. A journalist – a father of a young baby himself - asked me “why do you think you have a right to breastfeed in public?” I even had @runnersworldmag (US not UK!) ask on a twitter poll whether it was “gross, a little selfish” to breastfeed during a race.
.
It is important these opinions surface so we know what we’re up against. They are almost all from men – from people that aren’t ever going to breastfeed. But they are mothers’ partners, brothers, fathers, friends. As new mothers we are so vulnerable – and we listen to those around us. So we need to continue to #normalisebreastfeeding (and not just during #worldbreastfeedingweek !)
.
I’m now breastfeeding his 8 month old sister ➡️ 📸 . And I’m conscious not to hide when I do – or to cover her face as if I’m ashamed of what we are doing. Because it sends a message to other mothers – and those around me. That we should always feel comfortable and confident about the way we feed our baby. However that is. Wherever that is.”

inspired by a comment section I just stumbled upon of hundreds of adults defending hitting kids because they “turned out fine.”

“Yes we are, as is recommended by pediatric health organizations worldwide 😇” was my go-to response to this question.
