#SelfCareSunday It’s okay to #sayNO & a crucial word to learn #postpartum, especially in the #fourthtrimester #selfcare may look like #settingboundaries. This is #okay #healthy #normal The only person that needs to understand is you! You know your baby best! You are enough ❤️

Brown breasts should be the rule, not the exception.
To quote @themmatlas : "That’s it. That’s the post."
We have nothing else to say.

#SelfCareSunday I don’t know who needs to hear this, but self-care is VITAL. It is not selfish & you should NOT feel guilty about taking care of yourself. As #parents we often forget that we have needs that need to be met as well. You can’t pour from an empty cup!
