On-screen text

Breastfeeding the baby I didn't carry...

Original caption

Breastfeeding has taught me that biology is so much bigger and more interesting than the little boxes we sometimes put it in. Pregnancy is not the only path to lactation. Birth is not a requirement for breastfeeding. And sharing DNA is certainly not a requirement for the bond between a mother and her baby. My body didn’t create his body. But every day, it helps his body grow. And I think that is pretty damn magical. Happy world breastfeeding week 🤍✨ #breastfeeding #ttc #ivf #surrogacy #twomoms
