#Repost @gentlebirthwithjenny with @get_repost ・・・ Oh the eyes rolls you get in a hospital 🙄 . #Repost @carriagehousebirth with @get_repost ・・・ ✨Birthday frosting 🎂- Consider skipping the newborn bath. Delayed bathing has benefits to your newborn. Babies are not born "dirty" Many hospitals have a newborn bath as one of the items on their check list. Often times the newborn bath is NOT presented as a choice. It is!!! We can't tell you how many times we've watched hospital staff roll their eyes when a parent declines the infant bath. Why?!?! Also why are they slathering your baby in soap that is filled with toxins??? (Please check out @thinkdirty) BENEFITS OF DELAYING NEWBORN BATH - *Reduced risk of infection. Vernix contains proteins that prevent common bacterial infections. *Stabilized blood sugar. Bathing a baby too soon after birth can cause low blood sugar. *Regulated body temperature. Babies are able to maintain body temperature better when they are not bathed. *Bonding. Skin to skin is super beneficial for bonding. Baby should be kept on the birthing person or partner (if applicable.) Newborn care procedures (in healthy babes) should be delayed if possible for at least an hour. *Improved breast/chest feeding success. Babies are born with all that goopy goodness for a reason. Try not to mess with it. // 📸 @christinabentonphotography #vernix #gentlebirth #braintrainingforbirth #positivebirth #childbirtheducation #orlandochildbirth #workshop #birthwithoutfear #empoweredbirth #motherhood #mindfulness #pregnant #momtobe #babybump #newborn #waterbirth #homebirth #naturalbirth #birthcenter #csectionmom #postpartum #vbac #hypnosis #meditation #mindset #birthlikeaboss #birthyourway #pregnancycoach #birthcoach

Yes well said! #Repost @whentheboughbreaksdoc with @get_repost ・・・ One aspect of motherhood I wish we talked about more is the ‘identity crisis’. I’m not sure when I first realized it, and there’s so many factors that came into play. But one day I remember waking up and not recognizing the woman in the mirror staring back at me. This moment of motherhood was so heightened due to the idea that things had been taken away from me. My career, my body, my independence, my mental state. And it’s true, we lose a bit of ourselves to have and raise these babies. There’s a certain level of mourning we must to go through when it comes to our former selves. It took me a long time to realize that. My biggest struggle was living in a world that hadn’t changed, but everything about ME had. It wasn’t until a year ago that I started to take back all those things I was so convinced had been taken away from me. And I finally started to see myself in that mirror. Mamas, your feelings are valid. Give yourself some time to grieve. And remember that the woman staring back at you is full of strength, love, and beauty. She created life. She is life 🌳 #sheisnotalone #momtomom . . I’d love to know what has made you feel like YOU again since becoming a mother. Exercise? A hobby? Work? Comment below 👇 #Repost @momtomomofficial
