Part 2 of this week’s Blog Talk Radio show explored the necessity of night feeds when your baby is beyond 6 or 7 months.
Tracy Gary shared her insight into what baby really needs at night and how she eliminated night feeds in a very gentle way without any resistance from her little girl!
This show also revealed a lovely example of the Law of Attraction in action.

Part 1 of our show today was prompted by a question about breastfeeding with hepatitis C and how to prevent bleeding nipples.
Maire reminded us that milk is made from blood and lymph and shared again the Conscious Breastfeeding approach to preventing sore nipples. Tracy addressed this from the nutritional perspective.
My input was around harnessing the power of the law of attraction and the power of your mind to support mother and baby in this process.

As a result of pelvic pain when walking (which began shortly after I became pregnant), I decided to seek the advice of a physiotherapist.
One of her recommendations was to take smaller steps and walk using my whole body.
So now I am walking again without pain. My pace is slower at the moment as I retrain my brain, develop new neural pathways around walking and allow more muscles to support me.
During this process, it came to me that I need to take baby steps in all areas of my life now - not just when walking.
So I took this message from my body and started taking baby steps in other areas too. I noticed that as I do this, it seems that I am summoning forth support from other avenues (other muscles) that I didn’t even consider before.
And as I trust more that baby steps are guidance from my deep wisdom, I relax and grow in confidence thereby attracting more experiences that illicit these feelings.
Perhaps you have pain or discomfort in your precious body.
What might it be telling you? And how can you take on board this amazing guidance today so that you can attract more of what you want in fertility, pregnancy, birth and beyond with your baby?

Today’s blogtalk radio show with Maire Clements, Tracy Gary and myself discussed baby’s first stage psychosocial development of Trust Versus Mistrust.
During this time, your baby learns (through mom and dad) that he or she can trust the world or otherwise.
We explored how conscious breastfeeding supports this process beautifully and also looked at additional ways that we can help baby to negotiate this stage successfully so that she emerges confident and happy.
This show also focused in on dads, their importance and wonder and how we can empower them in their parenting role.

As an empowered woman, embodying the sacred feminine, you may wish to be aware of the following benefits for you and baby of using your wonderful breasts to nourish this precious new addition to your family.
Each meal is tailor made for your baby’s requirements. Even the content of breast-milk for premature babies is different to that of full terms babies because their needs are unique.
(3)Love and bonding…as your baby feeds, your body releases Oxytocin known as the ‘love hormone’ or the ‘bonding hormone’. Oxytocin provides a sense of well being and calm in both mother and baby.
It also facilitates bonding and creates a desire in both of you for further contact with each other. So this hormone, produced while breastfeeding actually elicits those feelings of love and deep connection that support you in becoming the mother you really want to be….calm, relaxed, connected and happy.
(4) Not only does the breastfeeding and release of oxytocin enhance the bond between mother and baby, it also lays the very foundations for the experience of love for your baby.
In the breastfeeding act, your baby learns to be very comfortable being close to mum. She learns about being fully present with another as she stares into your eyes and you meet her gaze.
She learns that it is safe for her to receive love and that she is worthy of deep connection. Breastfeeding provides her cells with the experience of being cared for physically, emotionally and spiritually in a very intimate way.
These skills and experiences not only help her to recognise and choose relationships that are nourishing for her as she grows up, they also support her in nourishing herself and others in a healthy way.
(5) From a purely practical perspective, breastfeeding is much handier as you don’t need to spend endless time planning, preparing the bottles or cleaning up afterwards because you always have a supply when required.
(6) As women in the western world, many of us have been conditioned to deny, conceal or suppress the full expression of our femininity.
Your breasts were designed to feed your baby. You have the right to experience the wonder of breastfeeding. You are worthy of creating and knowing first hand the beauty and magic of breastfeeding and realising the deep wisdom of your body in this process.
(7) Breastfeeding allows you to come into your own power and embrace your sacred feminine energy.
Culturally, many of us have been downloaded with the message to aspire to a more male expression of ourselves. And while manhood and maleness is beautiful and sacred, so too is woman and womanhood.
It is time for us to allow ourselves to rejoice in who we are, in the perfection of being a woman and give ourselves permission to experience that fully. In doing so, we also free men to be themselves fully and pave the way for a generation of babies comfortable in their own skin and honouring both the masculine and feminine within.
So just ask yourself what you truly desire. What would you love for your baby? If you thought that you could do it and felt supported around breastfeeding would you try?

As I am pregnant with twins 
Maire Clements decided to dedicate a Conscious Breastfeeding Show to that very topic!
This show was really informative about what a day looks life in the life of a Conscious Breastfeeding mom, what support is necessary and the frame of mind that will help you embrace each moment as it comes.
Worth a listen for those who are preparing for baby (one or more) even if you are not sure whether breastfeeding is the journey for you.

Our relationship with our sacred feminine has a significant impact on our experience of fertility, pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding and of course our relationships.
Yesterday on blog talk radio, Maire Clements, Tracy Gary and myself discussed how we can really honour the Goddess within.
Part of the discussion also tapped into how we can support our babies and children to embrace their own sacred selves (male and female) so they can feel whole and comfortable in their wonderful bodies.
