It hit me today...

Today I had to refer to myself as a 'pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding' educator.....

I stopped and thought, "How silly"....

I cant educate a woman on what she was born to do????

Her body already knows how and what to do! A team with her baby through pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding. 

How sad that we have come so far away from ourselves that we need to be 'educated' on what it is to be human????

Im here to get women back 'in tune' with what they're made of;)

Im now in that team with baby and mumma!  How lucky am I!!!

So I guess it is an 'education' but to be honest I think Ill be learning more then Ill be teaching;)

Ok, Im going to tackle the vaccine debate and breastfeeding.......

As most people, with your 1st baby you 'go along' with what ever you're told. Then by the 2nd, I believe if you have a brain, you should challenge what you're being 'told' to do. As this is YOUR childs life.....

As a parent one of the best gifts you can give to your child, is to be informed.  Dont just say "yes" to what ever a doctor tells you.  Inform yourself and if its against what the 'trend' is, be sure to prepare yourself for a fight!

What I cant understand is society completely supports a woman to NOT breastfeed and tippy toe around her 'feelings' when talking about it. But if that lady stops feeding, though being completely able to, then vax's, because "it's what is best"? This tells me we DO NOT know enough about breastfeeding or vaccines!

The decline in breastfeeding and the incline in vaccines.....tell us something??????

Breastmilk is natures vaccine.  Once again are we trying to push nature aside and replace it with our 'invention'....

So cute! Finally:)

Quotes that I love!

"Many Western doctors hold the belief that we can improve everything, even natural childbirth in a healthy woman. This philosophy is the philosophy of people who think it deplorable that they were not consulted at the creation of Eve, because they would have done a better job." Kloosterman 1994

"Treating normal labors as though they were complicated can become a self-fulfilling prophecy." Rooks

"Hope has two beautiful daughters. Their names are anger and courage; anger at the way things are, and courage to see that they do not remain the way they are." Augustine

"If a doula were a drug, it would be unethical not to use it." John H. Kennell, MD

"The best way to avoid a cesarean is to stay out of the hospital." Brooke Sanders Purves

"There is no scientific evidence that doing over 10 percent of births with a cesarean improves the outcome for the woman or improves the outcome for the baby." Dr. Marsden Wagner
"Only about 15% of medical interventions are supported by solid scientific evidence...This is partly because only 1% of the studies in medical journals are scientifically sound and partly because many treatments have not been assessed at all." Richard Smith, editor of the British Medical Journal

Something to think about
