To the mom who got out of bed today,
I know you’re tired. I know you could have laid there all day if you had the chance. Instead, you put your feet on the floor, & got up anyway.
I’m proud of you.
To the mom who stays home with her children every day,
I know you miss adult conversations & having time to yourself. I know you feel cooped up sometimes. I know you’ve sacrificed a lot to be there. But staying home is what is best for you & your family.
I commend you.
To the mom who dropped off her kids at the sitter & went to work today,
I know it’s hard to trust others with your children. I know leaving them can be scary. I know you miss them tremendously, but you go to work to provide for your family. You go to work to give yourself a sense of purpose, & to pursue a career alongside motherhood.
I am inspired by you.
To the mom who breastfed her child today,
I know it’s been painful. I know how difficult it can be. I know how hard you’ve worked. I know you’ve sacrificed so much of your body, energy, & time, but with strength & dedication, your body is capable of producing all the nutrients your baby needs.
I congratulate you.
To the mom who bottle feeds her baby,
I know you may feel judged or misunderstood. I know you feel cheated by your body. I know how many bottles you have to wash & how much formula you have to buy, but bottle feeding is the best option for your family.
I support you.
To the mom who sleeps with her child every night,
I know you may not sleep through most nights. I know you miss sleeping alone with your spouse. I know you don’t love those cold feet in the small of your back, but you like having your baby close. Sleeping together makes you & your child feel safe.
I appreciate you.
To the mom whose child sleeps in the other room,
