heavy loads
2.6k of self-indulgent lactation!kink bucktommy for @rcmclachlan based on baby probie-verse, where bucktommy have a whoops baby
It wasn’t a shock to find Evan, up from his nap, in the laundry room when Tommy got home from running errands. Tommy went to go peek in on Nora—still Probie to the 118 and Miss Nora to Evan’s parents and sister, a toss up between those and Mashed Potato or Babygirl between Evan and Tommy, or Miss Piggy when she was feeding and Evan thought he was out of earshot—who was conked out in her crib. He silently snuck back from her crib to return to Evan in the laundry room and ask if he needed any help.
Four weeks and some change since bringing Nora into the world, and it was laundry out of everything that had become the main Sisyphean task to own their lives. They’d given up on cloth diapers almost immediately, but between spit-ups and changes and their basic day-to-day, it felt like there was constant, never-ceasing mountain of laundry. And Evan kept leaking.
He’d always had well-defined pecs before getting pregnant, but now he had full on tits. Just perfect handfuls, in Tommy’s opinion, but after the first few weeks the only time he wasn’t complaining about them was when he was feeding Nora.
When he was feeding Nora, all frustration or anxiety melted away into dopey bliss. Evan loved that his body was producing something good for someone else, sustaining life. “S’what I was made for,” he would say, blinking sleepily down at Nora who made sweet, little noises as she tried to suck him dry. It was a welcome difference from the weeks leading up to her arrival, when he’d been so nervous, voice shaky as he worried out loud about faulty parts, that his body wouldn’t make enough or that she wouldn’t latch, right up until she did there in the hospital on the first try.
“Babygirl’s still snoozing,” Tommy said, stuffing a hand in Evan’s back pocket while Evan leaned down to catch some stray wet socks for the dryer. “You need any help?”
Evan made a familiar disgruntled noise at the back of his throat, which meant he didn’t want to ask, but yes. So, Tommy squeezed his ass twice through the denim in a way that meant move. Evan rolled up, tossed the socks in and slammed the dryer door a little too quickly before scooting to the side. His emotions had always run high, Tommy knew, and the hormones during pregnancy and now made him even quicker to anger. In all honesty, Tommy still had to check himself when feeling annoyed about it, but it helped now when Evan twisted to let Tommy’s hand slide out of his pocket and catch on his hip. So,
“Hey,” Tommy said instead. “Hey.”
“We need to do, uh, sheets. Again,” Evan clarified, jaw tight, waving at the still-full hamper and half-emptied washing machine. He smiled like it hurt. “Passed out for a half hour and I totally soaked through them again. And I know I could leave it, let it dry, I’m putting a towel down anyway, but we already had a full load—“
“Evan.” Tommy didn’t shut him up with a kiss, but with a gentle squeeze. He’d found out that Evan’s tendency to pass out face down and sprawled out on any surface had not been fixed, but had simply laid dormant while he was pregnant, and he was up to his old habits again, which now had consequences. “I’ll take over in here. I grabbed you some more of those prebiotic sodas you’re obsessed with, if you want one.”
Evan softened. “Ginger lime?”
“Yeah, baby, ginger lime.” Tommy gave him another squeeze. “So, get out of here and try not to give yourself heartburn while I finish loading the rest, okay?”
He finished loading the wash, and—poor baby, he thought—the sheets really were soaked through already. Both machines going, he closed the door behind him as he left and for one blissful second got to enjoy the sight of Evan settling down on the living room couch with his soda before Nora’s crying from the next room cracked through the silence like thunder.
Evan sighed, and he instantly crossed his arms across his chest, tilting his head back for a second with his eyes closed. The soda can in his hand crinkled in his grip before his wrist went limp.
Before Tommy could offer, Evan said, “Trust me. I got this one.”
xx
Tommy started re-making their bed late evening. Evan came in after leading Nora’s nighttime ritual, slingshotting his nursing tank from the doorway into the hamper, before finding a clean one in the dresser. Instead of tight, elastic straps that he could work loose, it had thicker, ribbed tank straps and deep, henley collar that he probably knew Tommy liked seeing him in. He walked into the master bathroom half-blind trying to slip it on over his head.
“You know,” he called out only to come back a few seconds later, still straightening himself out at the hem and carrying a ragged towel that he flipped over his side of the bed, “you know I think it’s cool that my body knows how to make food for our kid.”
“It’s very cool,” Tommy agreed, no-nonsense. He threw one side of their duvet over to Evan so they could snap it over the bed and peel it back evenly on each side.
Evan flopped himself on top of his towel face up the second they were done, kicking his own feet down to get his calves under the covers. “Well, lately I’m starting to feel like it doesn’t know how to stop, and I’m going to be like this forever. A leaky mess.”
Tommy crawled into bed next to him and leaned over to press a kiss to the meat of his shoulder. “I’m sorry about your tits, baby. Anything I can do?”
His mouth grazed down the strap of Evan’s nursing tank and something deep in his gut began to uncoil as Evan’s breath hitched in response. Instinctively, he pressed another kiss lower, near the crease of his armpit, and Evan shuddered on the exhale.
“You’re playing with fire,” he warned.
Tommy smiled against his warm skin, eyes beating closed. “Good thing we’re both firefighters, then.”
Evan laughed.
“Fuck, I’m serious!” He said, first fond and then softer, “Really. I’m serious, though. If you were. Curious, I mean. Go for it. There’s always a little something left in the tank.”
Tommy hummed. Eyes still closed, he could feel the way Evan shifted underneath him to wrap an arm around Tommy’s shoulder and get a palm at the nape of his neck, fingers tracing up through his hair. Ready to cradle him like that, hold him there, if he wanted.
“If it makes you feel any better, I’ve already thought about it,” Evan continued. “I’ve thought about it, maybe a lot.”
“Jesus, Evan.” Tommy nipped at his shoulder again, just to tease, but found himself curling into Evan’s hold, reaching up to snap open the collar of his tank and slide his hand underneath to cup at Evan’s pec, which fit perfectly in his palm and sat soft and ready below his chin. His thumb stroked over the nipple, fatter and perkier than ever since Nora’d arrived, and Evan sank back against his body in return. “You gonna feed me?”
“Y-yeah.” Evan sounded shaky but so sure. His fingers in Tommy’s hair curled into a soft grip. “God, help me out, Tommy, please let me feed you.”
Tommy hummed. “Okay. C’mere, baby, I got you.”
It was so easy, taking Evan’s fat tit into his mouth, Evan’s grip in his hair growing tighter while the rest of him went practically boneless. Another shaky breath and then Evan made a noise, half-whimper, half moan, that went straight to Tommy’s dick.
“Need you to take it deeper. Open, open, oh—God, your mouth is so big. Stay there, like that, yeah,” Evan said, hushed, almost reverent, as Tommy adjusted his latch and started putting his tongue to work.
He licked up, chasing Evan’s nipple, trying to tease his milk out. Swallowed around him and threw an arm over Evan’s lap to keep him in place when he started to squirm, thrilled to feel the way Evan shifted as his heels started to dig into the mattress, getting hard, dick pressing up against Tommy’s forearm.
And there it was, suddenly, Evan’s milk streaming into his mouth. Creamy and sweet, like the leftover dregs of Saturday morning cereal when he was a kid, hitting his tongue in little hiccup spurts. He almost choked at the sensation and felt a little slip out the corner of his mouth, and Evan’s grip tightened at the base of his scalp again, holding him there.
Their sex life hadn’t suffered even in the past few weeks, not in the way Tommy thought back on many of his old guard colleagues at the 118 talking about—dead bedrooms, wives like cold fish ever since they popped out a kid for some reason. But between Evan’s body needing the time to heal and the recent arrival of a tiny drill sergeant who demanded to be fed, held, changed and bathed at regularly irregular frequencies, opportunities to be intimate with each other had been few and far between. Tommy wasn’t complaining, but the sheer wave of niceness he felt now—being this close and familiar with Evan felt just as good as the first hit of a dilaudid drip in the back of an ambulance, made his toes curl against their fresh sheets as he swallowed.
“Missed your mouth on me,” Evan sighed, clearly also feeling some kind of way. “Shit, that’s nice. Different, but good.”
His dick was more insistent against Tommy’s arm now, the head eagerly tenting the thin cotton of his boxers.
Tommy finally took pity on him and tugged Evan out through the slit in his boxers, lips slipping loose to murmur, “Yes, hi, hello to you too.”
He licked his hand milk wet and returned his grip to stroke Evan and squeeze a little mean at the tip, the way that Evan loved, the way that made Evan pant and whine, before he resumed suckling. There was something meditative about Evan rocking into his hand and against his tongue, and Tommy found himself soothed by the give and take of his body, their natural rhythm together punctuated by Evan’s swallowed back noises.
“Okay?” Tommy asked, mouth full.
“Uh-huh.” Evan sighed, breath pitchy. “Starting to soak through my other side without my Haakaa.”
Tommy hummed, and licked a broad stripe up his nipple to his collarbone, biting there softly. “You want me to go get your Haakaa, baby?”
“Nah, I have a better idea,” Evan replied. He untangled himself from Tommy’s grip and carefully twisted to throw one long leg over Tommy’s thighs. “Hey, handsome.”
“Evan,” Tommy warned. They were supposed to be limiting the kind of sex they were having for at least two more weeks.
Evan worked the other side of his tank down his chest so both of his tits were exposed, rubbing at the neglected nipple. “I just want to continue what we started. Nothing else. C’mon. No funny business.”
“Maybe a little funny business,” Tommy murmured as he watched milk dribble out over Evan’s fingers. He leaned in to chase the wet line up Evan’s knuckles with his tongue and suck a hot-breathed open-mouthed kiss to Evan nipple before pulling away. Evan groaned and rocked forward, chasing him in response, which almost had Tommy laughing. “Hey, gimme a sec. I’m grabbing you some lube.”
“Me?”
Tommy, halfway stretched back reaching for the bedside table, gave an unimpressed glance down at where Evan’s hard dick still curved up through the slit in his boxers, plummy head drooling precome against the tent in Tommy’s own sleep pants. Then he went back to digging the lube out of the drawer, practiced hands making quick work with it until he was wrapping a slick palm around Evan’s dick.
“That’s right, said I was gonna take care of you.” He sidled back up against the headboard, and Evan shifted with him practiced and familiar, until Tommy’s hand was stroking him, snug and slippery between them. Licking another long, thick line up the small swell of Evan’s breast, Tommy said, “And you’ll take care of me.”
He pulled Evan back into his mouth, and something uncoiled in his gut as Evan’s milk hit the back of his tongue again. His eyes fluttered closed. Years together and Evan’s body was still finding new things to give, new ways to taste, sweet and warm like the rest of him, dripping down Tommy’s throat.
“Oh.” Evan’s voice was weak and pitchy, and he brought both hands back up to curl in Tommy’s hair and hold him there while Tommy continued to suck and let Evan fuck into his fist.
His stomach was soft against Tommy’s knuckles, recently tender enough that Tommy tried to get his free hand on Evan’s hip to control the roll of his hips, opting for a sluggish grind and tighter grip. In the past nine months and change Evan had ridden him, sure, actually ridden him, but more recently he’d had a belly full of their kid in the way, so it was always reverse cowboy, and not this level of skin on skin closeness right in his lap. Evan flush against him now was a reminder of their first several months together when they used a little more strength to push each other around and hold each other down and Tommy, mouth full, felt so hungry for it.
“Can’t wait to have you inside me again,” Evan said, like he could read Tommy’s mind.
Tommy moaned and swallowed in response, tongued at Evan’s nipple like he was begging for more. He could feel Evan’s dick throb hot, heavier now in response, the grinding rock of his hips going a little sloppy.
“Baby,” Evan said, right on cue, “I’m going to come.”
The hands in Tommy’s hair tugged back, Tommy’s mouth dragged away and up with a slick noise to be guided in for a kiss, milk slipping from the corners, passed between the two of them as Evan came, shuddering on top of him. Vaguely he felt Evan’s come seep through his tank and sleep pants, already damp with lube and sweat. He was defenseless against it as Evan kept kissing him through his orgasm, licking into him sloppy and greedy for what felt like an hour, big hands and long arms slowly sliding down to where Tommy was still achingly hard. His fingers curled into the elastic waistband to clumsily peel back what he could without moving to pull Tommy out into his own familiar grip.
“Evan,” Tommy said against his mouth, almost breathless with it.
“Let me.” Evan leaned back to spit on his own hand, equal parts too lazy and restless to grab the lube that was right there, but Tommy had been riding the edge practically from the start. He was so goddamn spoiled already.
Evan touched him like he knew, jerking him off hard and quick.
“Next time,” he continued, “next time we do this, you lay me down and I’ll let you jerk off all over my tits.”
Tommy came hard with an ugly noise, like it was ripped up his throat. His head kicked back and Evan laughed, smug, leaning in to kiss the noise down, their teeth clacking together instead. He body felt weightless, Evan’s weight on him the only thing keeping him from floating up to the ceiling.
“Jesus,” he said, eventually.
Evan hummed, settling back. He looked sleepy, and satisfied, and so pleased with himself. “Yeah? You good? Get your fill?”
“And then some,” Tommy replied, feeling half drunk. “You good?”
“Great,” Evan said, glancing between them. Both their clean shirts were soaked through in places. Tommy needed to grab a new pair of pants. “But I'll be even better if you take care of the laundry.”

Cat Food Prep Part 4 - Finally done!
Clarification: We do not raw feed, nor do we endorse raw feeding. This is a fully cooked, nutritionally balanced pet diet that's safe for consumption when prepared correctly.
Alright - after some interruptions, finally ready to post the finale! This is probably the most important part; adding the supplements and oils to make this nutritionally complete. Normally I'd look upon proprietary products like Balance.it's blends with a lot of skepticism. But all that's essentially in this powder is pre-measured amounts of pharmacy-grade vitamins as well as inulin - a type of prebiotic fiber found in vegetables. We could buy things separately and measure it all ourselves, but I'm not taking that risk.
A little less than 3 packets of their carnivore blend (for lower-carb, higher-fiber diets) gives us enough for the recipe - and because this is our more accurate scale, we also measured our salt and fish oil this way.
The Omega-3 isn't just a dietary supplement here; it helps ensure Canela's fat intake is nutritionally complete. And with our Canola Oil and Iodized Salt measured as well, it's time to mix!
We've already added our oils and made sure everything is well incorporated - so compared to how it was before, it's now softer and more pate-like. But this is a VERY big bowl of food, so I'm sprinkling a thin layer of Carnivore Blend and Iodized Salt over the top, mixing very thoroughly between each addition.
And by the time we put it into our molds (these are 1oz silicone molds, intended for baby food) it looks very much like canned cat food. Each one of these is the equivalent of about half a small can.
And in the immortal words of beloved UK children's show Blue Peter, here's one I made earlier. These trays are frozen until solid, then it's just a case of popping out the frozen portions and keeping them in a ziplock bag. Defrost in the microwave for a minute and a half, and it's back to its original color and texture. So that's our pork and sweet potato cat food! This forms the bulk of Canela's diet - and she'll be getting regular checkups from the vet to manage her overactive thyroid, so we'll be able to make sure she's doing okay long-term. There's far too much association between home-made and raw online, to the point we've even been harassed for it on here, so I hope these posts might encourage other pet owners to explore safe, cooked options for their animals. Thanks for reading!

As a busy mom of two, Karlie Kloss has a long list of professions. No matter the project—investor, entrepreneur, supermodel, activist, publisher, or philanthropist—as Kloss shared with us, she has a steadfast goal: To “be the best version” of herself. This week, she’s teaming up with Thorne for its Find Your Way campaign, which “showcases personalized solutions to help individuals optimize their health and wellness at every age and life stage.” We recently caught up with Kloss to talk supplements, skin care and why walking in New York just might be the ultimate wellness hack.
Q: What made you decide to do this partnership?
A: Thorne is really best in class. I have been a long-time super fan. I was introduced to the products years ago by a nutritionist, during one of the many times where I feel like I just burnt myself out from working and traveling too much. I am so honored to be a part of this campaign because the whole theme of the campaign is Find Your Way, and everyone’s way to wellness looks different. We all have different day-to-day stressors and things that we’re carrying or loved ones we’re taking care of.
I was super honored to, one, work with a company that I respect and appreciate so much. Also, I’m so excited for more people to learn about their brand and their products because it really is such an accessible luxury in a lot of ways. Being able to take time—even if it’s just a minute in the morning to take supplements that are going to be making you feel better all day long—is self-care. I really see supplements as self-care. It’s like an initial upfront investment of time.
That’s at least the way that I’ve approached this—doing my diligence upfront, really learning about all the products, understanding what my needs really are. On Sunday night, I sit down and put all my little vitamins into my kit here, and then just set it and forget it, and the rest of the week is ready. Life gets so busy…it gets so crazy for all of us, but I do feel like this is something that I can rest assured that I’m doing for myself. If I can feel better in my own skin, then I can show up better for my job, and for my loved ones.
Q: That’s great that it’s organic for you. This might be tough, but do you have one hero product that you really love?
A: Well, just one is tough, but I’ll say one that’s really special is the Memoractiv. It is a mix of all sorts of fancy things I cannot pronounce. Ashwagandha is a great one. I also take all the other basics that I love—vitamin C, basic vitamin B complex, but the PharmaGABA and the Memoractiv are two really special Thorne products that I would highly recommend.
I’ve had two babies in the last three years, so I’m a big fan of their Basic Prenatal as well. Then I’d say, also, for those of us who live in New York and are crazy-going, I like to throw their prebiotic in my bag as I’m running out the door. You just put it into a glass of water. It’s an easy, tasty way to take care of yourself.
Q: Living in New York, what does your day-to-day look like for wellness?
A: One thing I love about New York is just discovering great little hole-in-the-wall restaurants and fitness studios. I’m always trying to explore different Pilates classes or different types of classes. I love that. I love the class group workout. You can do pretty much anything in New York. You can scream and dance and cry. There’s something for everyone here, which I love.
Most recently, I’d say I have been enjoying going to a few of the Pilates studios down here in SoHo. I love to put my headphones in or listen to a podcast and just walk and walk and walk. Late at night, my husband and I walk and walk and walk and just enjoy the chaos of New York. It’s good exercise, and it’s good entertainment!
Q: Since we are a beauty magazine, we have to ask: What are your all-time favorite beauty products?
A: Ooh, good question. I love the Living Proof shampoo and conditioner. My hair is quite fine, and especially post-baby has become even finer, so I try and take good care of it. K18 is this really great product for dead ends. Love that product. Estée Lauder has this PowerFoil Face Mask that makes you look like Iron Man for a minute, but it’s the most amazing face mask. Definitely a go-to. Then in New York, I love going to Tracie Martyn—it’s a really great classic facial go-to. I feel like I should be asking you these tips though! But, specially pre-red carpet, their facials are really spectacular!

Hello Achiever Fam! 🍯
It's time for the ultimate honey showdown: Manuka Honey 🐝 vs. Raw Honey 🌼 vs. Regular Honey 🥄. Which one reigns supreme in the world of health benefits? Let's dive in!
Ingredients Breakdown: Manuka Honey: Packed with the unique compound Methylglyoxal (MGO), known for its strong antibacterial properties. It's also rich in leptosperin, DHA, antioxidants, and prebiotics. Raw Honey: Boasts over 180 substances including vital minerals like potassium, calcium, magnesium, and a spectrum of B-vitamins and vitamin C. Remember, it's minimally processed to preserve these natural treasures. Regular Honey: Often processed, which might dilute its natural goodness. Beware, much of the store-bought honey could be mixed with sweeteners like high-fructose corn syrup.
Surprising Fact 🤯: Americans consume about 400 million pounds of honey annually, with 70% being imported, often adulterated with other sweeteners. The Health Benefits Showdown: Manuka Honey: A superhero for your immune system, digestive health, and energy levels. It can battle bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus and soothe sore throats.

Raw Honey: A historical gem for immune support, packed with prebiotics for gut health and antioxidants for fighting off free radicals. 🛡️ Pro Tip & Warning 💡: Raw honey might contain botulinum spores; hence, it's a NO-NO for babies under one year old due to the risk of botulism. This applies to all honey types.
So, achiever fam, which honey are you sweet on? 🍯 Share your thoughts in the comments below. And don't forget, more honey comparisons are on the way in our next video! See you soon! 👋

10 CLUES IT’S TIME TO SWITCH TO ORGANIC BABY FORMULA
Every parent wants the best for their baby but when it comes to feeding your child with organic formula, the various options can make your head spin! Like many parents in West LA, you may lean towards an organic choice- something natural and free of unnecessary additives.
With the rise of popular brands like Hipp, now might be the perfect time to switch. But how can you ensure it's the right choice for your baby? Let's go through ten clues that may indicate that it's time to buy Hipp formula near West LA.
FREQUENT DIGESTIVE ISSUES
Non-organic formulas contain certain additives and processed ingredients that can make your baby sensitive resulting in frequent gas, bloating, and constipation. Organic options like Hipp are kinder to delicate stomachs as they don't contain such harsh additives.
SKIN IRRITATIONS OR ALLERGIES
Some babies show symptoms of mild allergic reactions or skin irritations to ingredients in traditional formulas. Organic formulas help lower the risk of skin problems by including natural ingredients free of artificial preservatives.
FUSSY FEEDING TIMES
If your baby is frequently fussy or refuses to eat, the formula's taste and texture might be a contributing factor. Organic formulas like Hipp use premium, naturally sourced ingredients that can be easier for infants to digest.
YOU’RE SEEKING CLEAN, NON-GMO INGREDIENTS
Parents choose non-GMO ingredients for their diet, expecting the same quality for their infant's formula. Hipp and other organic formulas are non-GMO certified, providing comfort with each spoon.
HEALTHIER LONG-TERM NUTRITION
If you are concerned about your child's long-term health, use organic formulas. They don't contain artificial chemicals or unnecessary ingredients, giving them a pure and nourishing meal.
CONCERNS OVER PESTICIDES AND ANTIBIOTICS
Traditional formula uses non-organic milk sources which may contain traces of antibiotics or pesticides. On the other hand, organic formulas like Hipp use milk from farms with strict animal care standards, completely avoiding harmful additives.
YOU PRIORITIZE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Organic formulas support the health of babies and the well-being of the environment. For instance, Hipp's formula highlights environmentally friendly agricultural methods.
SIGNS OF MILK SENSITIVITY
Organic formulas are available in gentle, lactose, or dairy-free substitutes. So, if your baby shows signs of milk sensitivity, feeding them organic alternatives can make them more comfortable.
PRIORITIZING IMMUNE-BOOSTING INGREDIENTS
Hipp and other organic formulas are enhanced with nutrients and natural prebiotics to support the development of a strong immune system in infants.
DOCTOR’S RECOMMENDATION
Lastly, it's always better to take recommendations from a pediatrician before trying the organic formulas.
Switching from conventional to organic formulas like Hipp could be the comfort and assurance you and your child need. Online marketplaces like Euro Mall USA offer convenient access to high-quality options to buy Hipp formula near West LA. Visit https://euromallusa.com/collections/hipp today to support your baby's health with each bottle!

I let my older neighbor into the car, the recent news weighing heavily on my shoulders. She notices; the grandmotherly types always do, and asks me what’s wrong, so I tell her. She tells me she wasn’t really happy with either option, but she’s so glad that ‘that woman’ won’t be taking office.
I ask her why.
She hesitates, says she doesn’t like to talk politics, but then says that she can’t stand the thought of making it legal for abortions to happen right up until the last day of term.
I let the road take over my vision as the ringing in my ears begins to drown out the damnation of anyone who would be willing to ‘kill their baby’ and that at that late point, adoption is an option.
When we arrive at her destination, and she gets out of the car, it takes me a minute to recognize the goodbye, and all I can say in response is the one thing that my soul has been screaming into the void ever since:
That baby was wanted.
When the baby isn’t wanted, the condom is worn, the birth control is taken, the plan B is scheduled, the abortion is prompt.
THAT baby was wanted.
Pregnancy is a serious medical condition. Physical changes, new wardrobes, discomfort, illness. Medically-necessary diet restrictions. If you’re not actively willing to sacrifice your body to let another grow, then that other body is a parasite.
But that BABY was wanted.
No person has the right to force another person to offer up their body without permission. Life-saving organs cannot even be harvested from the dead unless they gave their permission while alive. If you don’t want your body to help another body live, then you don’t have to.
But that baby WAS wanted.
When an abortion happens in the late-term, six or more months out, the plan has been made to carry to term.
Pictures were posted online.
Clothes have been bought.
Names have been tossed around
A crib has been assembled.
Grandparent memorabilia has been gifted.
A baby shower has been thrown.
That baby was wanted.
But then one of the medical scans comes back with bad news, or the parents health takes a sudden sharp turn.
And then you receive the worst news you could ever hear.
Because that baby was wanted.
But they will die a painful death within hours of being born, or, far more likely, they are dying already or already dead, and if not removed, the parent will die too.
But that baby was wanted.
Countless mornings counting out vitamin and prebiotic regimens.
Coconut oil and shea butter on the belly for the itch and the stretch marks.
Ugly shoes that cradle the swollen feet.
Sleepless nights stressing over the cost of diapers and blissful afternoons thinking of first laughs and first words.
That baby was WANTED.
But it wasn’t meant to be. And the pain of going through the termination of the nearly-realized pregnancy cannot compare to the pain of unrealized dreams, of best-laid plans that will never be, and hope of the future, that disappears along with the round belly.
Because that baby was wanted.
People who are not physically capable of going through this can argue back and forth forever about all the possible exceptions, and how terrible it would be if a person terminated their pregnancy after a sudden change in their life, or out of spite for the other parent, or just because they decided they want to be pregnant but not have to deal with what comes after.
But all the hypothetical exceptions don’t change the reality for most parents that need to go forward with a late-term abortion.
I could go on for hours about how the pro-life movement misses the point, that hysteria overu ‘the babies’ distracts from the welfare of the parents.
But it wouldnt do anything for people who hear the word ‘abortion’ and think ‘murder’.
Because they will still condemn that parent, who now has a to-do list to start on.
Donate the diapers
Return the clothes
Disassemble the crib,
Pick up pain medicine for recovery,
And brace for the backlash.
The shame and condemnation of those who notice the belly went away but there’s no baby.
The raised eyebrows at the return counter, and the scorn of those who decide not to serve you because of their beliefs.
Their belief that you as the parent deserve punishment for what you did, even though you didn’t do anything but move forward.
And it’s so, so hard. Because that baby was wanted.
…
The ringing in my ears has died down. We have arrived, and my neighbor gets out of the car. She’s waiting for a reply to her polite goodbye, but there’s only one thing I can bring myself to say.
“That baby was wanted”
The polite smile of someone who doesn’t get the joke, and then she’s off to her affairs. Four words aren’t enough to change her point of view.
…..
That’s okay. I’ll still give her a ride tomorrow.

Human Milk Oligosaccharides: Insights from Recent Research and Clinical Trials
Breast milk is a rich source of complex carbohydrates called human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). After fat and lactose, they are the third most common solid component in human milk, yet they play an important role that goes well beyond simple nourishment. Human Milk Oligosaccharides are important because of their intricate biological roles and complicated structure, which are essential to a baby’s proper growth.
Human Milk Oligosaccharides are only found in human milk, and the makeup of this unique substance changes across people and lactation phases. More than 200 distinct kinds of Human Milk Oligosaccharides exist, and they can have very complicated structures made up of multiple sugar units connected in sophisticated ways. HMOs may perform a variety of tasks that are critical to the health of newborns because of their intricacy.
Serving as prebiotics is one of Human Milk Oligosaccharides main functions. They supply Bifidobacteria and other good gut flora with nourishment, which is essential for the development of a baby’s microbiome. Human Milk Oligosaccharides assist in maintaining a balanced gut flora, which is essential for healthy digestion and immune system performance, by encouraging the growth of these advantageous bacteria.
Human Milk Oligosaccharides have also been demonstrated to have anti-infection properties. They function as fictitious receptors, blocking the attachment of dangerous bacteria to the gut lining. Human Milk Oligosaccharides lessen the chance of infections, including those brought on by gastrointestinal pathogens like E. coli, by taking up these binding sites. This defense system enhances the infant’s general health and wellbeing.
Another major area of study for Human Milk Oligosaccharides is their ability to modulate the immune system. Human Milk Oligosaccharides interact with immune cells and signaling pathways to affect how the baby’s immune system develops. They support the growth of the infant’s innate and adaptive immunity as well as the maturation of the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT). In the early months of life, when the infant’s immune system is still growing, this immunological support is especially important.
Human Milk Oligosaccharides may also be important for the development of cognition and for delaying the onset of chronic illnesses later in life, according to recent studies. Although research in these areas is still ongoing, encouraging first results indicate that Human Milk Oligosaccharides offer advantages beyond their direct impact on health.
The genetic makeup of the mother has an impact on the composition of Human Milk Oligosaccharides, which can differ greatly. Because of this variation, each mother’s milk is specific to the demands of her infant and may provide health advantages that are unique to each individual.
To sum up, Human Milk Oligosaccharides are an essential part of breast milk that have a variety of intricate roles that promote the health of the baby. Their relevance in the early stages of life is highlighted by their roles as prebiotics, immunological modulators, and agents that guard against infections. Human Milk Oligosaccharides importance for baby nutrition and health is becoming more and more clear as research reveals the entire range of advantages they offer.illnesses in later life. Although research in these areas is still ongoing, encouraging first results indicate that Human Milk Oligosaccharides offer advantages beyond their direct impact on health.

Nestogen 1: A Trusted Formula for Supporting Newborn Health
When it comes to ensuring the healthy growth and development of your newborn, nutrition plays a crucial role. As a parent, you want nothing but the best for your baby, especially during those first precious months. Nestogen 1, a specially formulated infant formula, has become a trusted choice for parents worldwide. Designed to support the unique nutritional needs of newborns, Nestogen 1 helps lay a strong foundation for your baby’s health and well-being.
Understanding the Nutritional Needs of Newborns
Newborns grow rapidly in their first year of life, with their bodies and brains developing at an astonishing rate. During this time, their nutritional needs are vastly different from those of older children and adults. They require a delicate balance of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals to fuel their growth and support their immune system.
Breastfeeding is widely recognized as the best source of nutrition for newborns, providing a perfect blend of nutrients and antibodies. However, there are various reasons why some parents may need or choose to supplement or replace breastfeeding with formula. In such cases, selecting a high-quality formula that closely mimics the nutritional profile of breast milk is essential.
What is Nestogen 1?
Nestogen 1 is an infant formula designed specifically for newborns from birth to six months old. Manufactured by Nestlé, a brand with over 150 years of experience in nutrition science, Nestogen 1 is formulated to meet the complete nutritional needs of your baby during this critical stage of development.
The formula is enriched with essential nutrients that support healthy growth, immune system development, and digestive health. It is carefully crafted to be gentle on your baby’s delicate digestive system, making it a suitable option even for newborns with sensitive tummies.
Key Ingredients in Nestogen 1
Nestogen 1 contains a balanced combination of ingredients that work together to promote your baby’s health and development. Some of the key components include:
Proteins: Proteins are the building blocks of your baby’s body, supporting the development of muscles, tissues, and organs. Nestogen 1 provides high-quality, easily digestible proteins that are tailored to the needs of newborns.
Carbohydrates: Lactose, the primary carbohydrate in Nestogen 1, is a naturally occurring sugar found in breast milk. It provides a steady source of energy for your baby and aids in the absorption of calcium.
Fats: Essential fatty acids, including Omega-3 and Omega-6, are vital for brain development and the formation of healthy cells. Nestogen 1 contains a blend of fats that mimic those found in breast milk, ensuring your baby receives the nutrients necessary for cognitive and physical growth.
Vitamins and Minerals: Nestogen 1 is fortified with a range of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin D, iron, calcium, and zinc. These nutrients are crucial for bone development, immune function, and overall health.
Prebiotics: Nestogen 1 includes prebiotics, which are non-digestible fibers that promote the growth of healthy bacteria in the gut. A healthy gut microbiome is essential for digestion and immune function, helping to protect your baby from infections and illnesses.
The Benefits of Nestogen 1 for Newborn Health
Nestogen 1 offers a range of benefits that support your baby’s healthy growth and development. Here’s how this trusted formula can make a difference in your newborn’s life:
1. Supports Healthy Growth and DevelopmentOne of the most important aspects of newborn nutrition is ensuring that your baby receives all the nutrients they need to grow and thrive. Nestogen 1 is carefully formulated to provide a complete and balanced diet, supporting your baby’s physical and cognitive development during those crucial first months.
2. Promotes Digestive ComfortNewborns have delicate digestive systems that are still maturing. Digestive discomfort, including colic and constipation, is a common concern for many parents. Nestogen 1 contains prebiotics and a gentle protein blend that help promote healthy digestion, reducing the likelihood of tummy troubles.
3. Strengthens the Immune SystemA strong immune system is essential for protecting your baby from infections and illnesses, especially during their early months when they are most vulnerable. The vitamins and minerals in Nestogen 1, including vitamin D and zinc, play a vital role in supporting immune function and keeping your baby healthy.
4. Mimics the Nutritional Profile of Breast MilkWhile breast milk is the gold standard for infant nutrition, Nestogen 1 is designed to closely mimic its nutritional profile. This makes it an excellent choice for parents who need to supplement breastfeeding or use formula exclusively. The combination of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates in Nestogen 1 provides a similar balance to that of breast milk, ensuring your baby receives the nutrients they need.
5. Provides Consistent NutritionBreastfeeding can be challenging for some parents due to various factors, including milk supply issues, medical conditions, or lifestyle demands. Nestogen 1 offers a reliable alternative, providing consistent nutrition at every feeding. This consistency helps ensure that your baby receives the same high-quality nutrients every time, contributing to their overall well-being.

Follow the Instructions: Always follow the preparation and feeding instructions on the packaging. This ensures that your baby receives the right amount of nutrients and avoids the risks associated with overfeeding or underfeeding.

Practice Good Hygiene: When preparing Nestogen 1, make sure to use clean bottles, nipples, and utensils. Boil the water used to prepare the formula and allow it to cool before mixing. This helps prevent contamination and ensures the formula is safe for your baby.
Monitor Your Baby’s Response: Every baby is different, and it’s important to monitor how your baby responds to the formula. If you notice any signs of discomfort, such as excessive gas, fussiness, or changes in bowel movements, consult your pediatrician to determine if Nestogen 1 is the right choice for your baby.
