It’s okay to dislike or even hate #breastfeeding. Many parents have instances or periods where they are frustrated by breastfeeding, whether by the needs of a newborn, an infant teething, or a squirmy toddler.
You aren’t alone and we are here to support you.

Fussy baby? Colicky baby? Have you tried the Magic Baby hold?
Also called the "colic hold" or "grandma hold," this is a helpful calming technique for just about every well-fed but fussy baby we've met.
Remember: Nothing helps a baby who needs to nurse except more nursing.

The house should be clean. Dinner should be made. Laundry should be done. Baby should be walking. Kids should be.... Stop "should-ing" all over yourself. Be gentle with yourself during this busy season of life. #MondayMotivaton #parenting #breastfeeding
Thanks to @LLLCanada!

MacDonald is now working is all through the definitions of various terms: sex, intersex, gender identity, transgender, cisgender, non-binary, two-spirit. For eg: sex-assigned at birth is a useful term. #ilca18 #BetterTogether

MacDonald: “when we discriminate against a parent we also discriminate about a parent’s baby.” #ilca18 #BetterTogether

McKenna: the truth - no such thing as maternal sleep, infant sleep, breastfeeding sleep - "there is only one evolved fully integrated bio-behavioral system" #ilca18 #bettertogether
