Protect breastfeeding, Shared responsibility.
Feed every 3 hours is one of the biggest ways mom’s are misled in hospital.
This directive is good for sleepy babies who are usually sick or born premature who would otherwise not wake themselves for a feed. So this ensures they get the MINIMUM number if feeds required.
Feed baby on demand. It’s normal to feed even 12 or 14 times a day. Not just 7 or 8. Feed the baby not the clock.
It’s world breastfeeding week. The theme is protect breastfeeding, Shared responsibility. If from hospital we are told feeding often is normal, fewer mom’s would doubt they have enough therefore translating to more moms breastfeeding for longer.

The Husband Stitch
Some of you are wondering… “husband strictly😳🤔… why is she talking about?”
Well ladies, this is an extra stitch that might be added when your perineum is sutured after childbirth.
It was usually done to make the vaginal opening “tighter “ after birth for the spouses to have pleasure 🤮🤮🤮
And can you believe it is still being done!!!!
Why sucks is that besides adding to scar tissue, this can be a source of pain for women and can contribute to painful intercourse as well.
Worst thing is, they make the vaginal opening tighter but the vagina itself is not made tighter by the stitch. So this act only works to make things uncomfortable for the woman and gives the man a false sense of “tighter” entry. To what end? It’s a muscle it will go back
