If you know a woman who is breastfeeding right now, please love on her a little more. Please be kind and gentle with her. Because if you didn't know, when you are breastfeeding, nursing, pumping, however way, your body releases prolactin. It is how the milk is coming out, is how your milk supply is there. This hormone makes you cuckoo, it makes you have brain fog, it makes you have low motivation, it makes you feel bleh, it makes you extra stressed, it gives you anxiety feelings, it makes you hungry, it makes you store fat. It does the number on you as a woman. And so, yes, I think it is so amazing when women breastfeed. You know, it's hard work, and we don't mentally get back to normal or get back to this new normal that we get until we stop, because our body will then stop releasing that hormone. And so I think no matter how you're feeding your baby, that's your choice. But for the women who are breastfeeding, I feel you. Because you know what? Some days I just, I wonder. I wonder what it's gonna feel like when it stops, because that's silly hormone that's building and growing life, which I love, but it makes me feel crazy some days. Mmm. So if you know a woman who is breastfeeding, just love her a little more and a little harder today, okay?
