Myth Buster Monday!

Call it controversial,
but facts don’t need approval. 💕

Breastmilk contains:
• Antibodies that fight infection
• Stem cells that aid in healing
• Enzymes that support digestion
• Hormones that regulate sleep, appetite, and growth
• Prebiotics + Probiotics that build a healthy gut microbiome
• White blood cells that increase when baby is sick
• Live bacteria that protect against disease

It’s not about being “better.”
It’s about being biological.

Breastfeeding isn’t just the gold standard,
it’s the baseline.💕

We've noticed some different trends in our Birth Story medicine work recently.

We are seeing more unassisted birth/freebirth experiences, and we would like to understand more about this choice.

If you'd be open to being interviewed about your philosophy of birth and what lead to you to choose this, please get in touch. Your experience will help us develop a more in depth understanding of freebirth and birth in general.

We'd love to hear from you. Sessions can be done anywhere in the world via Zoom.
