Your body is doing something incredible

 Your body is doing something incredible.

Producing breast milk uses about 30% of your body’s energy.
Your brain only uses 20% in comparison.

This is why you feel so tired by late afternoon.
This is why you’re constantly hungry and thirsty.

You are nourishing a whole human with your body.
You are their source of comfort, warmth, and life.

So please stop telling yourself you did nothing today.
You did everything your baby needed.
And that is more than enough.
