Two Cesarean Births, Screw The Breastfeeding Hierarchy & Meet Xavier The Xigua Melon

This month of April is a special one. April is Cesarean Awareness Month and Black Maternal Health Week, spanning from April 11th through April 17th. Given the alarming rise in black maternal mortality rates in our nation, there's an urgent need to emphasize celebration, awareness-raising, activism, and the voices of Black Mamas and birthing people. It seemed fitting to continue Season 2 episodes featuring Shardae Webb. Shardae, who has experienced two successful cesarean deliveries with her daughters, took deliberate steps to have her black sister-in-law, who is also a nurse, serve as her advocate and be an integral part of her support network. Shardae also opens up about her challenges with breastfeeding her first daughter and recounts how her husband improvised a makeshift feeding tube like MacGyver. She delves into the concept of a breastfeeding hierarchy and reflects on how she turned this negative stigma into a baby food business, Muva Munch. And she went on to create Webbd Publishing Company and self-published her first children's book, I See Me in the ABCs. Both endeavors were inspired by her daughters to teach them the value of nutrition and to see themselves in the literary  platform. In the end of the day she emphasizes the importance of mothers doing what's best for their children and family regardless of societal pressures.You can purchase the book directly from her publishing company's website belowWebsite: https://webbdpubco.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/webbdpubco/Contact: [email protected]
