Bring back BREASTFEEDING


Smiling while breastfeeding.
As we leave the national Black Breastfeeding week, I am reminded of just how many of us don't breastfeed. A client of mine just told be that she knows 4 women who recently gave birth and none of them has chosen to breastfeed. A 40 year old mother pulls out her breast to feed her 10 month old baby in the presence of her 75 year old grandmother who comments, "You still breastfeeding", suggesting that she is gross because the baby is too big now.


African American "original wombmen"  should nurse their babies. I do contribute some of the increase in us not nursing to many of us having cesarean births and being separated for long periods of time from the newborn. Our infant mortality and maternal death rate need a spotlight. Breastfeeding will keep mamas and babies alive.
After childbirth, drink 4 cups of herbal tea everyday. DRINK 1 GALLON of WATER DAILY!
If you are having challenges, please reach out to someone. There are plenty of lactation specialists, doulas, other mothers and nurses ready to assist.

I do not promote donor milk. I do not suggest wet nursing either, unless it is a family relative or a sister - wife in a polygamous marriage. 


I offer healthy baby formula recipe alternatives. I do not ever promote the popular formula brands on the retail shelves today.

Breastfeeding may be overwhelming for some, but it is well worth it. You don't have to spend money. 

 Mamas nurse your babies, no matter what. Other people who have a distorted view on this subject, fall all the way back. Get delivered from your perverted thoughts on breasts. "Would you eat in the bathroom?", Of course not, so those who are offended should not send a mommy there to feed their baby.  



Make breastfeeding normal again.




Bottles are artificial. Breasts are real. Pumps are needed for some women. The breastmilk that is not exposed to light is the best, coming out at the right temperature every time. The exact essential nutrition is produced on demand for baby. Your ancient DNA, ancestral knowledge aka superpowers/melanin is transferred. Breastfeeding helps mama with disease protection, postpartum depression, weight loss, and overall uterine health. It is so convenient. The extra bonding breastfeeding brings, last eternally.

Why take this cow's milk? Is your baby a cow?

BLACK WOMEN BREASTFEED. NORMALIZE IT!

I know that I do. Everyday I'm working to get better at it. Although I am totally self-employed and loving it, I will admit that it is not for the weak. Independence must be in your blood. I swore to myself in 2004 that I would never return to corporate America and I have not, but that does not mean that I have not tried. I've sent my resume and even interviewed a few times. An interviewer once told me that I was not fit to sit at a desk for eight hours a day and I responded, "for the right amount of money I would" and she said, "You are not fit for that". This stranger was absolutely right. I was backtracking. Sometimes when the money gets slow and unstable in my business, I tend to look back at the cage and think about the consistent paychecks, and try to return. For some of you, the routine office jobs are perfect and that is fine. Entrepreneurship is not for everybody. I love the changes it brings. Do whatever brings you joy, but for me I tend to get

Infertility

Image
Getting tired of the same old question, "So, when are you having children?". This question may seem harmless to the person doing the questioning, but to the one with difficulty conceiving, who is expected to answer, it could be invasive and offensive. Just know that you are not alone. Many couples have challenges conceiving and often times suffer in silence.   I became interested in childbirth after delivering my first baby. I am talented in a lot of areas, but assisting women in pregnancy, birth, and post partum are most important to me. Women consult with me about several womb issues and the most common one outside of childbirth is, fertility.   Not being able to conceive is a real issue with some women and men need not to be ruled out in this situation. The male partner should be examined and tested by a specialized physician, just as the woman. I am all for natural alternatives, but sometimes conventional testing and treatment is necessary.   The
