Bernadeth Betchi is a communicator, activist and mother who does things her own way. I spoke with Bernadeth about how she has navigated motherhood while following her instincts. We discussed:

🌿 Giving birth at home during the pandemic surrounded by family and love

🌿 the effects of colonization on traditional homebirth and breastfeeding practices

🌿 her fourth trimester realities and why she shares openly about this period

🌿 The loss of community support for parents in general and during the pandemic

🌿 society's fixation on baby milestones

🌿 bed sharing (❗for safe bedsharing information please visit: www.llli.org/breastfeeding-info/sleep-bedshare/)

🌿 breastfeeding and the shaming of parents who nurse children past infancy

🌿 the additional challenges black breastfeeding parents face

🌿 the freedom of going with the flow as a parent
