Avoid throwing shade over the Christmas pudding this year by subtly sharing the shit out of this... or just be honest as f*ck. Life's too short to have beef with friends and family. And you never know, maybe they'll finally GET you and the basics of human biology and evolution by 2019. 🙏

"After us mamas have nursed our first baby you’d think we’d be pros and not have a care in the world, right? And maybe some moms are like that, but for me, I worry about clogs, over production, mastitis – all the things I struggled with when nursing my first in the beginning, I worry will happen with my second. . "But I don’t think we give ourselves enough credit. We have to remember, that all the things we endured with our first, not only gave us strength, and comfort that we can do this, but it also gave us knowledge of what to expect, and more importantly, how to FIX pretty much anything that comes our way." . #WokeMama Libby @naturallymilk writes about #breastfeeding in the 1st and 2nd trimesters in our latest blog, link in our profile 👆 and please share your experiences too below! .

👆 this classic. Don't be afraid to let friends and families know your preferences to save taking sexist toys back. Or just give them to a local charity or refugee, poverty or community charity where toys really are just toys. 🌱 @LetToysBeToys ffs! [Via @sophieandiris]

"For me, being conscious is being awakened. It’s about taking away traditional ways of raising children, and really focusing in on the “whole child”, all while being more reflective when raising children, than punitive. . "The whole child is what I like to use to describe everything your child encompasses. That’s each child’s unique emotional, spiritual, educational, environmental experiences that make them who they are." . #WokeMama Brandy @mymotherhoodmagic writes about how to be a more conscious parent - hit the link in our bio to read the full blog! ❤ . . . . . #theyarethefuture #wearethefuture #raisinggirls #raisingdaughters #momofdaughters #motherhood #blackparent #blackmom #consciousparenting #consciousparent #consciousmom #gentleparenting #gentleparent #attachmentparent #attachmentparenting #girlgang #wokemamas

I breastfed you for 29 months my angel. 29 months aka 116 weeks aka 812 days aka LONG!😂 . It has been a rollercoaster, but the “milky boobie” will be staying in 2018 :) . I always felt extremely proud of breastfeeding. Being able to, doing it past a year, even making it to two years... but in recent months I have started to resent it. To feel ashamed and would always find myself making excuses as to why we were still doing it. That makes me kinda sad. . There is still such a stigma around breastfeeding toddlers. Why? . I thought starting breastfeeding would be the hardest, but it has definitely been stopping! . Anywhos... here are some of the pictures from September shot and created by the beautiful @simonesteenberg & @dipetsa . Was an Honor to model for you! Jessie & Noa x

L😍ve this pic of Brandy @mymotherhoodmagic practising mindfulness with her beautiful family. Read her latest blog (link in our bio) which includes 13 tips for being a more conscious parent. . "Our influence as parents is much stronger and long lasting when it is loving and intentional rather than fear based and short term." 👏 . . . . . #consciousparenting #gentleparenting #attachmentparent #yogamom #mindfulmothering #nindfulparenting #consciousparent #consciousmama #consciousmom #consciousmother #gentleparent #millenialparenting #millenialmom #mindfulmom #mindfulmama #blackmom #blackfamilies #blackfamily #blackwomenbreastfeed #blackmothers #blackparent #ecoparents #hippiemum #hippiemom #wokeaf #wokemama

But here you are nearly three years old, so wise beyond your years, ”where’s my daddy" you said to me; . "As I paused to fight back tears. Some children just have a mummy, I said as I pulled you in… I froze, I knew the day would come." . Read the full beautiful blog from #wokemama Briony @mamaroots__ link in bio 💔💔💔

"When I got pregnant with my first child I was freshly 18, clueless. I really made a lot of mistakes with my first. But when pregnant with my second daughter I wanted to make a huge change to how our family was.. . "I decided to start living a more peaceful and organic lifestyle. I changed the way I disciplined, the way my family ate and just all around wanted to make sure I was raising my children in the best way so they can grow up and be good members of society!" .
