Attending in-hospital births, during a pandemic, was never the plan. But definitely where I need, want, and am honored to be ✨ #birthdoula #birthingwithoutfear

“I often see pictures on social media of freezer

“I often see pictures on social media of freezers full of breast milk. The caption always reads something like “thankful for my freezer stash” or “stocked up to go back to work”. I wanted to show moms what a going back to work stash normally looks like.

It seems as though no one is posting about their completely normal and adequate “freezer stash”. This is 16 oz of milk, and it is completely adequate for a moms first day back to work.
The average baby takes around 1-1.5oz per hour while mom is away. This means that if baby is at daycare for 9 hours the maximum amount baby should need is about 13oz. This also leaves a 3oz cushion should the parents get stuck in traffic or if some is spilled.

If mom is pumping to make up missed feedings while away from baby she will get what she needs for the next day. Preparing to leaving baby is hard enough without the pressure to fill a deep freezer.” ~ Whitney Callahan

No matter the state of the world, babies will be born and the people birthing them deserve respect and support. Please consider signing a petition that safeguards a laboring person’s right to support (whether that be doula, partner, family, or friend).
