I had this poem up on my bulletin board 20+ years ago, and it got me through some of the harder times of parenting in those early days and years. I lost the physical copy, but it has resurfaced in my internal monologue recently it still resonates. ❤️

Calling all moms! We need to hear from you in Dad Guild’s 2026 Annual Survey! So far, we’ve heard from 16 of you, and we definitely want to hear from more!

Over the years, we’ve been able to gather data that clearly illustrates the impact Dad Guild has on fathers and masc-identifying caregivers, but what we don’t understand so well is the impact our work has on mothers.

Is your partner connected to Dad Guild? Has their participation led to any changes in behavior? Have you noticed any changes in domestic labor participation? Regardless of your answers, we want to hear from you! Take the anonymous survey today and be entered into a raffle to win 1 of 5 $50 VISA gift cards!

Link to the survey is at dadguild.org, and in our Instagram profile. Thanks in advance!

Seen last week at International Lactation Consultant Association - ILCA's 40th anniversary conference: More evidence that early, in-home IBCLC care MAKES A DIFFERENCE!🥰

One thing that licensure will do for Vermont is to help grow more community-based IBCLCs. A path to a sustainable career will provide MORE CARE in the quiet woods of our beautiful state.
