I have loved the conversations online lately surrounding feeding choices for moms and babies. I think we are quickly approaching a time in our culture where moms can proudly feed their babies with whatever wonderful method they so choose, and be met with support and love by other moms.
As moms we must be strong. Not only is parenting one of the hardest things in the world, but we do face so much controversy and judgement on every side. From commercials on tv, to condescending statements made by strangers in the grocery store. It’s tough to be faced with this all the time.
It takes strength to face the mommy wars with confidence that we’re making the right decisions for our kids.
It takes strength to crawl out of bed and feed a child for the 5th time that night.
It takes strength to watch kids grow, to let them become who they are as we gently teach and guide them.
It’s hard to be a mom.
But we do all these things.
And we learn, and we grow with our kids, because of the love we have in our hearts for them.
But support never hurts. Whether it’s hugs from friends, an encouraging nod from another mom in the grocery store or even some fulfillment of physical needs for mom and baby, they all help so much. Letting a mom know she’s not alone, and that she’s surrounded by love and support.
If you are a mom, tell another mom you love her today. Show support in smiles, hugs and by sharing with her those words we all crave “you are a great mom”. Find support by giving it to the moms in your life that you love.
