Let's consider, for a moment, your influence on other parents.

There's a saying that "it takes a village to raise a child."

For sure! Parents need a solid support circle, but it's incredibly important that the people included in your supportive social ties be aligned with your parenting goals.

 As the world continues its love affair with technology, we human beings seem to become more disconnected and isolated from each other. 

We, at Nurturings, are committed to supporting breastfeeding and World Breastfeeding Week. 

This week, August 1-7, we encourage you to join in observing this year's World Breastfeeding Week theme: "Step up for Breastfeeding: Education and Support." 

Do you have a story to tell?

We want to help you share your story with the hope that your story can help other families! We are currently seeking submissions that fall in these areas:

In the womb, Baby is moving to the rhythm of his mama’s heartbeat, is comforted and amused by the songs sung by partner or siblings, and is rocked to sleep by the movements of daily life. This dance doesn’t have to stop when the baby is born.

Raising kids is a long game. We are parenting not only for what is happening in this moment but also for what happens in the years and decades to come.

We live in a quick-fix society. We see a lot of problems with how our society treats parents and families, particularly in Western society. 

"Is your baby sleeping through the night yet?"

"Don't hold him too much!"

"Just let her cry."

"There's no benefit to breastfeed him past 1 year old."
