Like Mother, Like Daughter
I distinctly remembering my oldest child at four years old (now 9) coming up to me with her doll saying, “I’m nursing my baby mommy. She loves my breast milk. It’s chocolate milk.” Ha. Adorable.

Something you wouldn’t see here (in the U.S). A naturally nursing twins at the same time, completely open and unhibited. It’s natural, flawless and inspiring. From National…

A True Look at Homebirth by Video
This BWF Dad emailed me with this birth video. I really like it because it shows how homebirth really is. It’s not a bunch of edited pictures (those are nice too), but an uncut video of birth. The midwives are setting up, Hypnobirthing affirmations are playing in the background, everyone is interacting, talk about the placenta is heard, mama is…
