Breastfeeding is
the best way to provide your baby nourishment, but the time required to breastfeed can conflict with a working mom’s busy schedule. Following are some of
Mindful Mama’s favorites for breastfeeding moms on the go.
Keep your hands free while baby cuddles up to nurse with the Boppy Organic
Slipcover. The slipcover
and trim are made of 100 percent breathable, organic cotton fabric and feature
a sweet “pea in the pod” design. It's as clean and pure as the little one it’s made for! (boppy.com)
Pump and store milk for your baby with the recyclable Hygeia EnJoye™ Breastpump,
designed and registered with the FDA as a multi-user product — so it doesn’t
have to end up in a landfill! This pump includes a unique C.A.R.E. button,
which lets mom record and play baby’s cry or any other sounds, proven to help with
letdown. All pump and kit parts are BPA/DEHP free and WHO code compliant. And, according to Mindful Mama community member and lactation consultant, Sylvia
Boyd, the Hygeia is as reliable as it is eco-friendly.
If you’re a lactation consultant or birth educator who works with career-savvy
moms, be sure to add InJoy Videos’ Better Breastfeeding DVD and InJoy See What
You Read guides to your library. Through demonstration and animation, viewers learn how
breastfeeding works, techniques for positioning and an effective latch, signs
baby is hungry and how much to feed them, along with tons of other interesting
facts. With InJoy’s help, breastfeeding newbies will have confidence in no
time! The See What You Read guides offer multi-media education — combining print,
online and video content for high-tech moms.
Finally! A baby bottle that meets your standards, from every angle. Dr. Weil
Baby bottles are manufactured in the U.S. and designed with AirWave vent technology.
All materials and packaging used in the production of Dr. Weil Baby products
are sustainable and environmentally friendly, and local manufacturing reduces
the carbon footprint. AirWave technology offers a premium venting system to
prevent colic. (Available in plastic and glass.)
Looking for a functional, eco-friendly and comfortable alternative to nursing
bras (which reveal your stomach while nursing)? Check out the Bamboo Nursing
Camisole by Medela. Along with the privacy of this cami comes the anti-bacterial, breathable
properties of bamboo. Medela also manufactures glass bottles and a hands-free
electric breast pump, perfect for multi-tasking moms.
