For the breastfeeding mum, it’s a delight to nurse your child. But, the truth is – it’s also very demanding. Your child is literally stuck to you for the most part of the day. You have to wear clothing that allows easy access to your breasts. You can’t be gone for too long, and if you really need to, you must compensate for your absence by pumping milk. Which sucks (in all sense of the word).
Breastfeeding is a special time, but ask any breastfeeding mum and she won’t hesitate to tell you that it’s also a trying time!
What I’m saying is breastfeeding mums need all the support they can get. Whether it’s for yourself or for someone else, you’ll find the perfect gift from our list of gift ideas for the breastfeeding mum!
