Birthday giveaway Day 6: Breastfeeding

Yay!  It is September!  This is my birthday month.  In honor of my birthday I am having a huge giveaway.  All of you get to enjoy my birthday month as well.  Enjoy over $300 worth of prizes.


Day 6: Breastfeeding

Today we have another breastfeeding theme giveaway.  As you may or may not know, I am still breastfeeding my daughter.  After a few struggles we are still going.  I want to be able to give to other moms who are breastfeeding as well and encourage this natural and beautiful way to nourish our babies.  

Included in today's giveaway is an Udder Covers nursing cover, a nursing bracelet, two Mother's Lounge nursing pads, a sample of Lansinoh lanolin cream, a sample of Lansinoh storage bags, and a Medela coupon for help with breastfeeding.  Retail Value of $60.

  1. I have never used cloth nursing pads, but it would be something I would try. This is my first pregnancy, and I do plan on using a nursing cover when I'm not at home. Thanks!

  5. I have tried using cloth nursing pads before, but they leaked, and once I started cloth diapering months later I learned that the fabric softener I was using was clogging the cloth. Going to use cloth this time around though! And I never used a nursing cover; never really BF in public.

    1. Fabric Softener does affect absorbency and as you have learned should not be used on cloth diapers or nursing pads. In addition you should not use it on your towels. Same thing applies. Anything you want to be absorbent you shouldn't use fabric softener. One alternative to fabric softener would be to add wool balls to your dryer. They will also help dry the clothes faster too. :)

  6. I use bamboobies cloth nursing pads and love them! I have another brand (can't remember what brand) and didn't really like that brand. They were scratchy.

    My son does not like to be covered. I usually cover myself and then pull the cover off. Otherwise he doesn't stay latched.

  8. This is our first. Not born yet so I can't answer definitively but I plan to use cloth nursing pads. I am not sure about covers. It will depend on my level of comfort with breastfeeding when I have to be outside of the home. I will probably just use blankets as covers.
