We have been conditioned to believe that our arms are not capable of soothing our babies + that we need to run out and buy the latest gadget that will do it for us.

That our breastmilk loses nutritional or comfort value once our baby turns a year old. Or that “your baby is just using you as a pacifier”, when in reality, the pacifier was made to mimic the breast.

That your baby, who spent nine months cozied up in your womb, needs to sleep in a completely separate room, with “experts” saying they’re okay to cry themselves to sleep. 🤔

None of that sat well with me. And, if you’re in the same boat, tune out the noise, tune into your intuition, + parent the way that you feel called.

Books, podcasts, + random stranger advice may try to tell you societal “norms”, but what does your gut say? Listen to that. ✨ You know your baby best.

listen to your gut — it’ll never lie to you. ✨
