Breastpumps, etc.
Breast pumps, etc. was born out of my love for my daughters, the joy breastfeeding is bringing us, and the challenges I have faced getting good parenting information and quality breast feeding products. When faced with challenges such as thrush, sore nipples, returning to work, and supply problems, I had trouble finding information that was helpful. I also had trouble getting books and breastfeeding products to make our journey through parenthood easier. My goal is to provide parents and parents-to-be with breastfeeding information, support and products to help them on their journey.
