Beyond the formula, there was one newborn-sized diaper and a lot of advertisements.
Now there is an alternative for moms who plan to breastfeed: the Healthy Baby Bounty Bag…
Breastfeeding IN Boob
When Boob sent me some of their latest nursing wear, my daughter asked, “But aren’t all of mommy’s tops breastfeeding tops?” That’s my girl! While, it is true you can breastfeed in almost any top, Boob makes nursing stylish and comfortable. Even better–with Boob I can start wearing dresses again…
