That’s a wrap folks! Nearly a year and a half, 150+ pages and countless sleepless nights later, “Sweet Nectar: (Hopefully) Everything You Want To Know About Chestfeeding.” Is officially finished and will be off for editing by EOD Friday.
My how things have changed! Now we know to that baby crawl to your chest, latch on their own and nurse as long as they like 🥰

Happy #BlackChestfeedingWeek to all the black parents who nourish our babies! (A short thread)
Have you ever thought about the fact that this entire country was quite literally fed with our milk? #BlackBreastfeedingWeek
We are in desperate need of more education and more resources to support our black parents who choose to nurse. Black Lactation Consultants may be few but we are mighty! The next time your friend is looking for a lactation consultant, try to encourage them to look for a black one

For #BlackBreastfeedingWeek, let me plug @SweetNectarLact who has a book coming out on breast/chestfeeding soon and is a fantastic resource for parents who have questions or need support on their breast/chestfeeding journey 🤱🏽🤱🏾🤱🏿
CLCH is commemorating #BlackBreastfeedingWeek (25 to 31 August) for the first time. Our Infant Feeding team will use this occasion to raise awareness about the lack of diversity in breastfeeding, celebrate black mothers and our champions across the Trust. bit.ly/3CAs6JF
Looking through the categories on @miiriya1 and I saw there’s one for books! I have a book coming out in April called “Sweet Nectar: (Hopefully) Everything You Want To Know About Chestfeeding.” How do I go about listing it on this app?
“Sweet Nectar” has gone through the editing process & is now being pushed to formatting. Here comes the fun stuff— fonts, colors & covers, oh my! Brings me back to my days as a yearbook editor 🥰
What are you hoping to read about in this book?

You know what, there needs to be an app for black owned businesses that provide birth services like doulas, midwives, lactation consultants, etc.
Miiriya I know you see this.

It’s not easy being a working Mama! Genius #christinewada designed Sylvie’s costume & added concealed zippers so I could pump easily & nurse my baby between takes. Little (big) things like this that made it possible for me to do my job & be a parent. I’m forever grateful 💖

I’m back again with virtual lactation classes! Don’t wait until you run into obstacles to reach out to a lactation consultant. My prenatal class will cover the basics and then some. It’s just $10 per family so bring your partner and kiddos too! (1/2)
