What To Do For Clogged Ducts

What To Do For Clogged Ducts

by Maddie | Feb 18, 2023 | breastfeeding, motherhood, postpartum, pumping

Let’s talk about clogged ducts- the bane of existence for many breastfeeding women. Whether you’re feeding your baby from the breast directly or you’re an exclusive pumper (or a combination of both!), a clogged duct is a possibility. REAL TALK: Clogged...

A Note to My Postpartum/ Newborn Mama Friends: Yo A Note to My Postpartum/ Newborn Mama Friends: You are doing some of the most important work. Right here. Right now. It may not always feel that way. And it might not look exactly the way you thought it might look. Nothing teaches you how to loosen your grip on control (or trying to control) every single thing more than becoming a Mother. There’s no better time than early Motherhood to redefine and reframe what productivity means to you. Even for just a little while. Because this season will look different. It is unique to your needs, your baby’s needs, your body’s needs, and your family’s needs. Following becoming a Mother, even in the smallest of ways or tiny pockets of time and space, we are invited to lean into this sacred work that we are designed for so marvelously. By surrendering to the ebbs and flows. By leaning into the slow and steady. By flowing with the current, not resisting it. While it might not always feel like you’re accomplishing much during this time…a time of interrupted sleep, contact naps, learning cues, unlearning and relearning your new self, and- oh yes!- keeping a tiny human alive and well…. You are accomplishing SO much. All during a time in which you find yourself navigating early motherhood, shifts in your body, transformation of your identity, transition for the family, and the like. The work you’re doing now- though it may look different than seasons past or seasons to come- impacts generations to come. Give yourself grace. The world would be a better and more healed place if Mothers were given more grace and encouraged to extend themselves more if it, too. Embrace this time when you accomplish little to nothing and also everything all at once. You are incredible. 💛 . . . #postpartumsupport #postpartumhealing #newmomtips #fourthtrimester
Only took almost a year to get around to finishing Only took almost a year to get around to finishing posts about some registry ideas 😂. These are based on some of the most used items we’ve found helpful, efirst few months after baby’s arrival. Considering he’s almost one, figured we’ve had time to vet them. Gentle reminder: a registry will be unique to a family’s needs & preferences- some of it really comes down to a matter of time & and trial & error to find what you actually use! You/your baby’s essentials may very well look different than my families or someone else- and that’s okay! But I wanted to share in case it gives fresh ideas for starting points. Our family leans more towards a holistic & lower-toxin load lifestyle where we see fit. This is reflected in a handful of the items. Some brands we’ve used & enjoy: ➡️Carriers/Wraps: There are several carriers/wraps out there but we love our @babytula (link in bio). I wrapped my first baby a ton and loved our Elleville we got through a recommendation from @wrapyourbaby , and I’ve also enjoyed using a @boba , @sollybaby, and @mushie . ➡️Non-tox cleaner: @briotechusa is multi-purpose and we use the products for all sorts of things. Babies & Kid Surface Cleaner is used on toys, highchair, etc regularly. (Code: ADELINEWELLNESS) Also enjoy using @branchbasics products as well. Some products we love (some included and some aren’t simply because #time): ➡️Wellness Support: @motherloveherb @earthmamaorganics @farmsteadapothecary @boironusa @earthleywellness ➡️Fav swaddles: @fernandaverybrand ➡️Pacifiers: @ninnipacifier ➡️Play mat: @littlebotbaby ➡️Drying rack: @booninc ➡️Sterilizer: @babybrezza ➡️ Toys: @lovevery, @mushie ➡️ Clothes: @burtsbeesbaby, @littleplanet, @coloredorganics ➡️Assortment of products: @fridababy ➡️Bath filter: honesty just tagging the lovely @ravens_moon_holistic_wellness because she does a great job educating on water filters in general! The one we use is in the home highlight too. So many great brands out there! These are just some we’ve appreciated and used this year 💛
New level of adulting unlocked. But for real, th New level of adulting unlocked. But for real, the longer I’ve been on this sort of healing & wellness journey, I’ve learned the benefit of not overbooking myself. Don’t get me wrong. I’m all down for a good time and I look forward to events, quality time with others, and the like. But over the last two years, I’ve cultivated a new-found joy and appreciation for more quiet. For slower paced living. For simple. For being. Not always doing. Instead of filling every day up and saying yes to every request, every invitation, every opportunity- I find great value and gratitude when I don’t have a totally packed calendar. Even if that means I have to schedule some peace in for it to actually happen. This is something I’m slowly getting better at, especially with a busier season kicking up overall. Call it being in my 30’s. Call it being boring. Call it whatever you’d like. I’m here for it 😂

While this postpartum period hasn’t been perfect While this postpartum period hasn’t been perfect, it has been a much more positive experience than after my first baby. Overall, I’ve had more energy, felt more grounded, and my stress- threshold has been higher. Considering the little sleep I’ve run on most days, that says a lot 🤪. Going into this season, I took what I could off my plate. Simultaneously, I’ve continued to make sure to fill my plate with foods that provide my body with raw materials it needs to heal & to thrive. Not to mention supporting my body on such a foundational level is the least I can do, considering it has worked so hard to build & birth a baby (then gone on to make milk)! Apart from God’s grace, nourishing my body with more intention has helped me tremendously and made a significant difference during a higher-stress time. Some ways I accomplished this: ➡️ Prioritizing protein with each meal/snack ➡️ Using a framework to gauge my goals ➡️ Getting familiar with nutrient profiles of some of my favorite foods ➡️ Playing with balancing out my plate with nutrient profile ratios that work well for my needs And it wasn’t complicated. I can’t handle complicated this season 😂. That’s why I teamed up with my beautiful friend and fellow practitioner @sophiacrystalwellness for a special project. We both had different goals this season, but both knew we needed to focus on nourishment. So we created a resource for those looking for a simple approach to nourish their bodies with more intention. 💛🙌🏽. We are in the final stages of editing & super excited to share it with you soon. Be sure to keep an eye out in the coming days for us to do just that! ☀️🎉
