Nice to see breastfeeding and family support while at the local fair. The covered porch overlooking the bustling thoroughfare offered large wooden rocking chairs and a cool shaded spot away from the hot summer sunshine or light afternoon rain. . . . . . #breastfeedingmom #breastfed #breastfeed #breastfeedingawareness #breastfeedingsupport #breastfeedingrights #breadtfeedingatoddler #breastfeedingmama #breadtfeedingbaby #familysupport #gentleparenting #attachmentparenting

Everyone struggles from time to time. Having someone to turn to in these moments can make a world of difference. How do you listen when a breastfeeding mom (or anyone) wants to talk and needs support? 👂 Here are a few tips: ✨Enter the conversation with the mindset of listening as opposed to fixing. Allow yourself the opportunity to hear the mom out and give her the space to have her thoughts and feelings without feeling judged or evaluated. ✨Don't look at your phone, look around, or multitask during the conversation. Nothing conveys disinterest like a distracted listener. ✨Confirm your interest in the conversation through your body language. Make eye contact, face the speaker, and remain engaged. ✨Further exemplify your interest through the use of cues and prompts. "Okay." "I see." "U-huh." This responsive language let's the speaker know you hear her. ✨Show the mom you are listening to her by stating back what you heard her say. This mirroring allows for clarification and facilitates further active engagement. ✨Sometimes the mom wants advice or help. Often, she just needs someone to hear her and care about her feelings. What are your other thoughts or suggestions? #breastfeedingmom #breastfed #breastfeed #breastfedbaby #normalizebreastfeeding #breastfeedingawareness #breastfeedingsupport #momlife #momsofinstagram #momssupportmoms #momssupportingmoms #listen #gentleparenting #attachmentparenting #fulltermbreastfeeding #extendedbreastfeeding

Mastitis. It impacts up to one in three breastfeeding mothers. These same mothers also report mastitis as a leading cause for them to stop breastfeeding. This fact is important because most cases of mastitis occur in the first three months postpartum. On the blog I talk about research that shows some specific pathogenic bacteria associated with mastitis and some strains of beneficial bacteria that may actually work better than antibiotics in fighting it and keeping it away. https://feedlovenurture.com/2019/08/11/mastitis-and-probiotics/ 📷 @jwwhitt #breastfeed #breastfeedingmom #breastfed #normalizebreastfeeding #breastfedbaby #breastmilk #mastitis #breastfeedingawareness #probiotics #holistichealing #holistichealth #gentleparenting #fulltermbreastfeeding #motherssupportingmothers #momlife #natural #naturalhealing #naturalhealthcare #naturalhealth #newborn
