To be completely honest with you guys I have been holding back a lot on this app. I think this is what has lead to me having a hard time being consistent. ​​​​​​​​​.​​​​​​​​​.
A lot of my worldview has changed over the last year and a half, after becoming a mother. My once liberal ideology and theology is transforming day to day into a new belief system.
I don't fit well in any holes. But something that I am convicted of is that I would like to talk about my faith more and do so freely. I have been holding back in this area because some of my clients follow me here that are not Christians.
I honestly really enjoy working with non-Christians, and so I haven't wanted to push others away. But on the flip side of this I have cut off a part of myself. Which I have decided I no longer want to do.
If you are a current client of mine, or past just know that if you are not a Christian I am no way trying to push you into something. I am in no way judging you. And if you have negative experiences with Christians I hope to change that for you.
More to come.

Disclaimer: this post is in no way meant to shame a mother that decides to use formula. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Breastmilk is optimal nutrition for a baby, the APA came out with new standards for breastfeeding our babies up to two years. But our medical system continues to fail mothers at supporting their breastfeeding goals.

Why is this? Multiple reasons, A. the medical community having a lack of credible research when it comes to tongue ties B. a lack of adequate maternity leave in the united states C. a medical system that is largely funded by formula companies so it is given to infants as soon as possible when there is the slightest breastfeeding struggle.

Mothers need more medical providers that actually support the mother's breastfeeding goals and medical providers that are willing to do their own research. We need a medical system that is focused on the person over profit.

We deserve the support we need, we deserve better.

More from me on the above subjects soon.
