Because Indigenous lives matter and Canada has a long way to go as we face the truth of what was done and continues to happen to the indigenous of Canada. This is just a small form of reconciliation that we, who grew up free from the fear of being stolen from our families, can do. We who never faced a cultural genocide and endured the legacy of that genocide. We who do not experience the daily racism indigenous people face daily. ⁠
⁠
The Native Women's Centre provides safe harbour and shelter for indigenous women who are experiencing crisis in their lives due to family violence, homelessness, or conflict with the law.⁠

Many new mothers assume they don't have enough mil Many new mothers assume they don't have enough milk in the first few days of breastfeeding their newborn. What's really going on?  Strap in

By your third month of pregnancy your body is already on its way to providing milk for your baby by activating and growing your mammary gland tissue and changing the colour and shape of your areola. Most of us rarely notice, but if you were to start extracting milk you would start to get a little bit, long before baby is even born!

When your baby is born you will bring them to the breast every time they seem hungry - basically, every time your new newborn squirms, moves their head around, licks their lips or opens their mouth they should be given a chance to nurse. THERE WILL BE MILK AVAILABLE. 

Let me repeat that: THERE WILL BE MILK AVAILABLE RIGHT AWAY FOR YOUR BABY!

Just because you don't see milk dripping, just because it seems to take your baby a long time to nurse, and especially when you try pumping in the first couple of days and see barely more than a couple of drops, your baby is drawing out milk. 

Keep bringing them to breast, keep working on improving your latch and add in breast compressions each time it seems your baby has fallen asleep or simply isn't suckling. 

As baby gets better at latching, as their their stomachs grow in size each day, and as your body gets more and more stimulation, your milk volume will quickly increase. Just keep putting baby to breast. 

And if you are having issues, reach out to your hospital nurses, your midwife, your doula, an IBCLC (lactation consultant) or even us at HFD - we have Infant Feeding Specialists with nearly 2 decades of breastfeeding support experience who can help you. There is help available so reach out if breastfeeding hurts or your baby is not meeting their weight gain milestones.
