God knows all holy children before they even enter their mother's womb. He makes sure that in preparation for their child of God a holy woman and man start long before conception to become even more pure in heart and soul, and prepares them already in their dreams for their new role as blessed mother and father.

God entrusts us with new life and He will take us up on our obligations and hold us responsible for the well-being of the soul He gives to us, or that He brings us in contact with in any capacity as a friend, family member or professional carer.

Making every single deed and act and thought a prayer with and without words to God's glory will make us evermore holy and that is also reflected in the words we are living. We must lead by example and thus live, what we teach, as we serve as role models for the next generations.

 Children of God crave to be at home with God at every stage in our lives. We crave to live in the paradise that He created for us, and that is there for us, where we can be simply ourselves, and we are living in it already on earth in our kitchen hearth, if we constantly commune with Him and act on, what He advises us to do, and are content with whatever He gives us in any moment of time.

If we listen to God and do not allow distraction and go against His voice, then we will have constant bliss even in hard times in our hearts and souls, as God will make sure we can deal with any situation, no matter, how trying. Our lives are in His hands, and He will do all that we need to let us grow beyond our horizons but we must trust Him as our children trust us.
If we do not trust God, then how can our children trust us?

To nourish a child continuously, first in the womb, then through the breast is the most wonderful gift of God to radiate His light as it is the living holy trust between the holy mother, the holy child and Him that makes this an event between heaven and earth, as it gives the mother the chance to give her all selflessly to her baby that God entrusted to her.

After having been nourished in the womb the newborn baby is being thrust right into a harsh world, often in the cold light of a labour ward. Sucking at their mother's breast a newborn boy or girl has an instant shelter to come to against all that worries them, and it is also a most holy living place for all the nourishment in body and soul that they need to be free of worrry and anxiety, when coming into this world and for a long time.

Breast is best - as long as it does not create in the mother or the child a beast. Breastfeeding is very tiring for the mother, and one has to bear that in mind, when a baby is especially in the first weeks and months utterly dependent on the mother's body, mind and soul's complete unity.

We must rest. We are fine, as long as  we listen to God's voice and take a rest, whenever the baby sleeps, too, whether we sleep or not in that time. Snoozing time is an invaluable time to pray and to connect with the others, who need us, too.

All that we do for holy children we do also in terms of eternity and for their children and future descendants. The more we nourish and respect them and raise them in God's discipline and love them in leading them by our own example the more they will care also for the world we leave to them with the outlook of having the responsibility also for the future of God's creation that He entrusted to us all.

If you think you do not have enough milk, try not to worry about it but surrender your anxiety to God.
And try f.ex. His little tip for increasing the milk: Get a pair of soft breast shells that are usually used for protecting sore nipples and to collect excess milk and wear them in your breastfeeding bra for as long as you can, as the pressure actually stimulates the production of milk, and should help you even with producing a bit of extra that you can then even freeze.

Sometimes there are circumstances, where a mother cannot feed her baby. Then it is all the more important to help her in whatever way we can, and to get the neighbours, family and friends involved, too, for as long as the mother is too sick to care for her baby.

Offer a smile, a kind word and a helping hand, when it is needed.

Breast is best but if a child cannot be fed in this way there is always help at hand, too, as what matters most is the holy love of the mother and father and of a peaceful and soul nourishing home and God provides, what is needed.
