Group Gathering 12/17

Change makes me really uncomfortable. Little changes, big changes - they all throw me off. I want - no - need to know what’s coming next so I can prepare for it. All my life I’ve wanted to “go with the flow”, but the truth is, that’s just not who I am. I’m more “plan the flow”, or “flow with the schedule”, or maybe “Go with the previously planned routine”.

This makes parenting, and especially breastfeeding, hard.

If unpredictability makes you woozy - makes you question your confidence (or your right to feel confident) then please join us tomorrow morning. We’ll be answering questions like “how do I know my baby ate enough?” and “how soon after feeding should I put my baby down for a nap?”

super spoiler: none of this is black and white. NONE of it. The friendly folks on instagram who are selling “fool proof” methods for long stretches of sleep are marketing their messages to people like ME who thrive on predictability and the notion that we can both accurately anticipate and control these things. Are you hearing their messages too? Do you feel discouraged? Then tomorrow morning is a great opportunity for you to join the conversation and chat with other moms about the realities of parenting tiny humans.

Join us tomorrow! Never been? Perfect. Haven’t been in a long time? Great! You’re entering a safe place to air your sorrows and your joys. You’re choosing community. Also, your input and your feedback, and your perspective MATTER. come share.
