World Breastfeeding Week 2022 is August 1-7 and to celebrate Michelle shares the Calm Birth prenatal meditation childbirth program's Calm Parents Meditation for breastfeeding. This meditation is a part of the Calm Parent's collection of postpartum meditations which includes versions of this Breath Feeding meditation- whether that is breastfeeding, pumping, bottle feeding, or chestfeeding. Feeding a new baby can have its joys and its challenges. Breath Feeding helps parents appreciate that they have everything they need to nourish their child. Even if things aren't going by the book, this meditation reminds parents that they have so much more than food to sustain their baby: you have limitless, life-giving energy, and a warm, nurturing body that their baby needs. Focusing on your breath relaxes you and relaxes your baby.
The Calm Parent's collection of meditations also includes Energy Breathing- to help you center and restore energy; Calm Parent- a progressive relaxation for rest, sleep, and restoration; Calm with Baby- to bond with your baby, especially useful after a stressful time such as when your baby has been crying relentlessly; and Practice of Healing- compassionate breathing for postpartum healing.
