Let’s begin with something simple. Something quietly powerful.

💭 Imagine you’re holding a glass.
It’s empty—bone dry, not a single drop inside.

Now ask yourself:
Can you drink from it?
Can you pour from it?
Can you offer it to someone else?

The answer, of course, is no.

That empty glass is your body when it’s depleted.
And mama, if you’re trying to continually give to your baby—emotionally, physically, and energetically—from an empty source, eventually… everything slows down.

That includes your milk.

Milk Supply Begins With You

Supporting your baby starts with supporting you. This isn’t a cliché or a nice idea—this is biology.

Your body cannot operate at full capacity (especially not hormonally) when it’s undernourished, underslept, and stressed-out.

So before you reach for another supplement
or tweak your pumping schedule
or start questioning your ability to breastfeed—

Ask yourself this first:
✨ Have I filled my glass today?

Because increasing your milk supply doesn’t always mean “doing more.”
Sometimes, it means resting more.
Breathing more.
Eating enough.
Feeling held.

What It Really Means To “Fill Your Glass”

Filling your glass doesn’t have to look like spa days and smoothies (though those are nice).
It can be small, grounding choices that tell your body:
💗 “You matter too.”

Here are a few nurturing ways to refill:

• Taking a full, slow breath before you pick up the baby
• Eating a warm, nourishing meal instead of skipping again
• Drinking a full glass of water after each feed
• Asking for help without guilt
• Sitting down in silence for 5 minutes—without a screen

These may feel like luxuries when you're in survival mode.
But they are not indulgent.
They are essential.

Try This, Love

Think gently right now:
🌿 What’s one thing I can do to care for myself today?
Even the smallest act counts—a nap, a quiet moment of stillness, a handful of almonds, a soft blanket.

You don’t need to overhaul your day.
You just need to take one tiny soul-deep breath inward. That’s how you begin to refill.

What To Remember

• Milk supply can’t thrive in a depleted body.
• You are not selfish for needing care—you are human.
• You’re allowed to be the first one you nurture today… even if it's just for a few moments.
• Replenishment is the beginning of consistency, confidence, and connection.

When you fill your glass, you change everything—from your hormone levels to your mental health, from your supply to your sense of self.
You don’t owe anyone your burnout.
You deserve your own tenderness.

This is the foundation of sustainable breastfeeding—and of motherhood.
