For the Lockdown Babies. By Gráinne Evans. "Sure you were only a baby" I'll tell her when she asks, ... About that time in photographs when everyone wore masks. "You don't remember the chaos when the world was forced to rest." "You had all you needed in my arms and at my breast" "You never even noticed" I'll tell her then I'll say, "I held you as the weeks went by, we took it day by day" "We were safe and happy, right where we needed to be". "I fed you snuggled in my arms, protecting you was key". "You were only a tiny baby" I'll tell her and explain, Why so many people were afraid, anxious and in pain. "It wasn't always easy, those isolating newborn days, But feeding you flooded me with love, got me through the haze". "You were a lockdown baby" I'll tell her when it's time, "I was your whole world back then, just as you were mine", "And now, though it's just a memory, I still smile when I see, A rainbow in a window, put there for you and me." #laLecheLeague #breastfeedingmatters #informationandsupport #breastfeedingpoetry #lockdown #4thtrimester #loveineverydrop #everyfeedmatters

For any pregnant moms and information on the Covid-19 Coronavirus

Breastfeeding gives your baby a better chance of reducing illness in scary times like a pandemic. Keep up the good work!

Many of our First ‘babies’ are a furry friend. How did you introduce your pet to your baby and how did it go? We had my inlaws bring a receiving blanket home for the dog before we got there and let her sniff him in my lap when we got home. What was your experience?

Breastfeeding will be an important step in helping keep your baby fight best against illness.
