The goal for me when I share content is to either or all of the below:
- inform
- inspire
- educate (within my limits)
- entertain
- share stories
But also ... Let's be real - I was a marketing major, so I understand how to cultivate engagement. But I did NOT EXPECT to go micro-viral on Instagram. It is still gaining views as I write this. Though, breast milk is a taboo subject and it is IG Reels, so the somewhat important engagement - comments and likes are not showing much for the views, I still find it insane that this video racked up over 100,000 views. ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND eyes on my ONE piece of content.
It's always easier to go "viral" on IG, but the engagement is always "better" on TikTok.
I'm still so shocked. My caption also helps educate and shares important information, so at least the virality of the video isn't going wasted!
Video below, and here is the caption for those interested:
The fat plug was insane. Y'all, I'm just playing. The top layer of breastmilk is the fatty layer. The middle layer is hindmilk, and the bottom layer is foremilk. A fatty layer doesn't mean the milk is bad, so DO NOT THOW IT OUT unless it is actually bad. CDC Guidelines for U.S. is 4 days in fridge. I usually throw out on day 5 or 6 sometimes.. this was day 7 bc I have been slacking on bagging my milk. 😅😭 when do you all throw out milk when you forget to or don't bag it?
