Hub City Doula

Breastfeeding month is a mix of emotions, but ultimately a time of reflection on my blessings. My journey with Scarlett, my three-year-old daughter born with two congenital heart defects, was particularly challenging due to her exhaustion and jaundice. For me, I was tasked to overcome the bitterness of my own rough birth, sometimes it felt like more than I could bare. Despite the obstacles, including a recessed chin, tongue, lip, and buccal ties, we persisted with breastfeeding with the help of my providers and my faith.

Scarlett's latest check-up showed no need for open heart surgery, and we continued nursing for 2.5 years after her tie revision. Breastfeeding demands immense faith, especially when faced with difficulties.

To all the women struggling with nursing, I see you, honor you, and am here to support you as a doula🤍

I continue to be amazed by how breast milk provides ideal nourishment for babies. Breast milk not only offers vital nutrients, but also conveys critical information about the environment, gut health, and lifelong wellness to infants.
While research on human lactation is still developing, every new discovery highlights the profound benefits of breastfeeding for both mother and child.

A new study shows that high intensity exercise increases the circulation of adiponectin, a protein hormone responsible for regulation of glucose and fatty acids, in a mother's breastmilk. It is thought that through breastmilk this helps the infant's insulin signaling and adipose tissue formation. Breastmilk prevents insulin resistance for mother and baby, regulating their blood sugar, and protects them from obesity and type II diabetes.
This just emphasizes the importance of moms moving their bodies intentionally. How do you move with intention with your baby? 🎀
