Happy Menstrual Monday!! Did you know that the first ever tampon was released for public use in 1931 and was originally made of cardboard? Ouch! Today, they're sold in quantities of 18 to anticipate the maximum number of tampons used in each cycle. * * * #menstrualmondays #iheartprojectpixie #themoreyouknow #tampons #menstrualcycles #womenshealth #reproductivefacts #didyouknow #menstrualmanagement #reproductivehealth #periods #powertotheperiod #cardboard #menstrualequity #womenshealthmatters https://www.instagram.com/p/B2MbH59H4jd/?igshid=i6sve56lqm20

Some women tend to notice that their breastmilk tastes sour after exercise. While studies have shown that lactic acid levels in breast milk are significantly elevated for up to 90 minutes after maximal exercise and may adversely alter the flavor of the milk, a recent study has shown that your baby typically will not notice the taste and refuse the breast. So the final verdict is that it is perfectly healthy to breastfeed your baby after exercise regardless, and this will NOT hurt them in any way. However, it may be helpful to shower prior to doing so, so your baby doesn’t taste the saltiness on your skin, which may turn them away. * * * #breastfeeding #postpartum #prenatal #parents #mom #babies #njdoula #padoula #journeys #birthstories #breastmilk #normalizebreastfeeding #liquidgold #pumpanddump #motherhood #mastitis #womenshealth #breasts #breastfacts #birthfacts #fourthtrimester #facts #dailyfacts #themoreyouknow #birthcoach #letsdoulathiswithlove #sourmilk #exercise # https://www.instagram.com/p/B03q3s2AGwj/?igshid=lnlltls19t78

There's just no proof to support this theory but what we do know is that there is no known point at which breast milk becomes nutritionally negligible. We also know that breastfeeding continues to act as a source of profound comfort and security for your child as they transition into toddlerhood, therefore laying the foundation for a confident, happy, and healthy toddler. So as long as it's mutually desired by mother and child, encourage women to proudly nurse beyond the first year!! * * * #breastfeeding #postpartum #prenatal #parents #mom #babies #njdoula #padoula #virtualsupport #journeys #birthstories #breastmilk #normalizebreastfeeding #liquidgold #toddlers #motherhood #womenshealth #breasts #breastfacts #birthfacts #fourthtrimester #facts #myth #dailyfacts #themoreyouknow #birthcoach #letsdoulathiswithlove #worldbreastfeedingweek #doula #doulas #sacredcircles https://www.instagram.com/p/B0vp1M6gLzs/?igshid=1f67dsjc1h0od

We're dropping a fact a day in honor of #worldbreastfeedingweek and for our mommas, and moms-to-be, who are card carrying members of the #IBTC, don't fret....breastfeeding is one of the few areas of life where size doesn't matter! No matter your cup size, your breast tissue will grow, as needed, to support the breastfeeding needs of your baby. * * * #breastfeeding #postpartum #prenatal #parents #mom #babies #njdoula #padoula #journeys #birthstories #breastmilk #normalizebreastfeeding #liquidgold #pumpanddump #motherhood #mastitis #womenshealth #breasts #breastfacts #birthfacts #day1 #fourthtrimester #facts #dailyfacts #themoreyouknow #birthcoach #letsdoulathiswithlove #askthedoula https://www.instagram.com/p/B0twrI2goOy/?igshid=q07o2i7w94j2
