Scary stuff!

"Campen coauthored a study published in May that found that human testicles contain microplastics and nanoplastics at levels three times higher than animal te**es and human placentas."

“Avoid microwaving food or beverages in plastic, including infant formula and pumped human milk, and don’t put plastic in the dishwasher, because the heat can cause chemicals to leach out,” said Trasande, who is also the lead author for the American Academy of Pediatrics’ policy statement on food additives and children’s health."

Scientists have found microplastics in human pen*ses for the first time, as concerns over their proliferation and its potential health effects continue to mount.

“People tell us not to feed for comfort while they sip their sleepy-time tea.⁣
⁣
People tell us to not cuddle our children to sleep while they spoon their partner.⁣
⁣
People tell us our child is too old to breastfeed while they sip their cow's milk.⁣
⁣
People tell us not to nurse or rock our babies to sleep while they sell us the latest gadget that’s supposed to do the exact same thing.⁣
⁣
People tell us to let them cry, while they go comfort a friend.⁣
⁣
People tell us responding to our child is creating bad habits, while they smoke and drink.⁣
⁣
Man, do they tell us! But I'm not them and neither are you. Because we hear our instincts loud and clear and they will not be silenced.⁣
⁣
Because even though we are exhausted, we know our baby’s cry is not a protest, but a communication.⁣
⁣
Because we know their need for us at 3am is not a manipulation.⁣
⁣
Because even though our backs and hips ache from sleeping in that dang c position, we know that little indent on the right side of our bed will soon fade away - and we would welcome that pain in our body just to feel them latch one more time.⁣
⁣
People tell us, but we know. we know this is important, we know that this is right for us and our baby, and we know this is just how it’s supposed to be.⁣
⁣
We know mama, they may tell us, but let’s rest in our know.”⁣

Hi mums, just putting out feelers to see if we have anymore breast milk donors around EMERALD/ ROCKHAMPTON area please.

I am in Emerald and due with our very last, miracle, baby in 7 weeks.
I have exteme IGT and only produce 20ml per 2 hours (we did a 36 hour stint in hospital with around the clock weighted feeds to find this out).
I would really love to be considered as I'm finding it very very difficult to source breastmilk for our belly bean ♡

Good morning, I've just had a message from a lovely mum who has donated breast milk before in here. She has some more ready to go.

She is in Miriam Vale but can potentially deliver to Gladstone. Also have made connections with a mum in Rocky looking to donate.

Let me know if you need some 💖

Hey Sisters,
Please share the word so we can help this family in the Gladstone area with breastmilk donations.

A little about this mama...

In April 2014 (9 days before my 27th birthday) I was diagnosed with stage 3 Triple Negative Breast Cancer with a tumour in my breast just over the size of a golf ball. I underwent 6 months of chemotherapy and a bilateral mastectomy with delayed construction due to the severity of my cancer. My first son turned 1 just before I was diagnosed and after a couple of miscarriages I am now 35+5 weeks with my miracle baby boy.

Please contact Blooming Mothers to get in contact with the mama & baby in need 💕

Congratulations Brittany Flinn & family!

Such a great article highlighting the struggles for rural women, the loss of midwifery jobs via mandates & how freebirthing families are intelligent, capable, well researched and take responsibility by learning new skills such as neonatal resus.
