How many times have you felt guilty or gotten eye rolls for just putting your tantrumming / fussy baby or toddler to the breast (even when they're not hungry!) to soothe and calm them?

YOU ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING WRONG.

Breastfeeding has never been just about milk. Your breastfeeding relationship is the best parenting tool you have in your toolbox, and you are 100% allowed to banish all guilt or shame for nursing your older toddler to sleep, calming your child with the breast during a meltdown, or giving a little b**bie after a stubbed toe or big fall.

You don't need to buy "gadgets" to teach your baby or toddler independence from you. This not only tries to go against natural biology, but is all about one thing - 💰💰💰. Someone profits when the mother baby dyad is separated or broken down.

You've been given the two most amazing mothering tools - use them! 😁

Ni***es - they come naturally ready.

No - you don't need to scrub your ni***es with a pot brush to toughen them up before your baby is born !

You do not need to prepare your ni***es in any way for breastfeeding.

Breastfeeding should not be painful and we should never just "push through".

Although breastfeeding is not always easy - the girls do come fully prepared by nature 😍

This is me breastfeeding at a braai. I could easily see my baba living his best life under our cover, yet no one else could see him.

It breaks my heart that so many moms feel the need to leave the room just to feed their babies. Breastfeeding is normal, and no one should feel judged or uncomfortable for nourishing their child.

That said, not everyone feels ready to pull out a b**b in front of a crowd—and that’s okay! That’s exactly why I love our covers.

With Anna Susanna, your baby stays happy, you stay comfortable, and you don’t have to miss out on the moment. Because you deserve to be part of the conversation.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month 💖

As a community dedicated to supporting mothers through their breastfeeding journeys, it's crucial that we also focus on breast health. Breastfeeding has been shown to provide some protection against breast cancer, but it’s still important for all women, breastfeeding or not, to stay informed and proactive about their breast health.

Here are a few key reminders:

1. Know Your Normal: Whether you're breastfeeding or not, it’s important to be familiar with how your breasts normally look and feel. Changes can happen, but sudden lumps, swelling, or persistent pain should be checked by a healthcare provider.

2. Self-Exams Matter: Regular self-breast exams can help you detect any changes early. While breastfeeding can make your breasts feel different, you know your body best. Trust your instincts.

3. Breastfeeding and Cancer Risk: Breastfeeding is associated with a reduced risk of breast cancer. The longer you breastfeed, the greater the protective effect. But it's important to note that this is not a guarantee, and screenings are still essential.

4. Post-Breastfeeding Screenings: After you stop breastfeeding, it’s a good time to resume or start regular mammograms, especially if you're over 40 or have a family history of breast cancer.

5. Support Each Other: If you or someone in your community has gone through breast cancer while breastfeeding or during motherhood, your stories can provide hope and strength to others.

Let’s stay informed, support each other, and prioritise our breast health during this important month and beyond. Together, we can make a difference. 💗
