Breastfeeding Awareness Month Giveaway!

 

August is National Breastfeeding Awareness Month!  Twenty years ago the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA) launched the World Breastfeeding Week (WBW) campaign to focus and facilitate actions to protect, promote and support breastfeeding.  The campaign theme was "Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative."  World Breastfeeding Week is now officially celebrated annually from August 1st - 7th.  To celebrate, I'll be having some fun giveaways in August. 

 

The first giveaway is amazing!  For this wonderful prize, a lucky momma will receive Earth Mama Angel Baby's Nipple Butter Earth Mama Angel Baby's Booby Tubes!  As if those prizes weren't amazing enough, the lucky momma will also receive a 14-day supply of Milkin' Cookies!  A BIG thank you so much for Earth Mama Angel Baby and Milkin' Cookies for the generosity to my readers!

 

While I haven't tried Earth Mama Angel Baby's Booby Tubes, I have tried Earth Mama Angel Baby's Nipple Butter and it's such an awesome product. 

 

Earth Mama Angel Baby is one of my absolute favorite brands.  I love their products because they're re 100% free of toxins, cruelty-free, gluten-free, vegan, and free from all artificial preservatives, fragrances and dyes.  I actually included some Earth Mama Angel Baby products in a New Momma Essentials goodie bag for a friend!

I have used Earth Mama's Nipple Butter for over two years now on my face, cuticles and other dried, cracked skin.  Made with soothing organic Calendula and non-sticky natural plant butters to comfort and protect.  It's safe for baby too - no need to wash it off before nursing! Apply as needed, and after each feeding.  What I love about Natural Nipple Butter is that it will be useful way beyond your nursing days.  My favorite use for Natural Nipple Butter is on the skin around my nose.  With fall and winter soon approaching, the air can become quite dry causing delicate skin to become irritated and dry.  Natural Nipple Butter is the perfect remedy for any dry, cracked skin! 

 

 

Earth Mama Angel Baby's Booby Tubes were created to help ease the discomfort that breastfeeding mommas can sometimes have from time to time.  Booby Tubes are natural, safe, gel-free breast packs made with a 100% organic cotton shell and filled with all-natural flax seed. Use warm or cold, depending on your nursing needs.

 

Every momma deserves a yummy, sweet treat.  How about a delicious cookie that not only satisfies your sweet tooth, but also boosts your milk supply?  Milkin' Cookies is a yummy cookie that is made without preservatives and also helps boost your milk supply!  In fact, 98% of mommas polled in 2011 reported that they saw a significant increase in their breast milk production after eating one of Milkin' Cookies delicious cookies.  The current Milkin' Cookies flavors are Oatmeal Chocolate Chip, Cranberry Almond Oatmeal and Dairy-Free Cranberry Almond Oatmeal.  I have personally tried the Oatmeal Chocolate Chip and my verdict was YUMMY.

New Momma Essentials

Last month, a friend of mine welcomed her first baby boy into the world!  While she was in the hospital, I popped in for a visit and brought along some treats.  My mantra is to never visit a new momma without some sort of treat(s) in hand! 

 

Earlier that day, I had asked some mommas on Facebook what were some awesome items and/or treats that they received while in the hospital.  I decided to use some of the suggestions and treat my friend to a goodie bag of New Momma Essentials.

 

Lip Balm was one of the top recommendations, so I picked up some Burt's Bees Lip Balm for my friend's New Momma Essentials goodie bag.  I, too, remember how dry the hospital air seemed to be on my skin, especially my lips.  I also included Burt's Bees Facial Cleansing Towlettes in my friend's goodie bag.   Some other moisturizing goodies to help with dry, cracked skin might be Earth Mama Angel Baby's Body Butter or some Avocado Cuticle Balm.   What new momma doesn't like to be pampered?

 

 

Breastfeeding products were also high on the recommendation list, so I picked up some nursing goodies.  Earth Mama Angel Baby's Natural Nipple Butter is a must-have for any breastfeeding momma.  Natural Nipple Butter is made with soothing organic Calendula and non-sticky natural plant butters to comfort and protect.  It's also safe for baby, too, as it's lanolin-free, toxin-free and there's no need to wash it off before nursing.  I also included Earth Mama Angel Baby's Organic Milk Maid Tea.  Some other great suggestions were Lacation Cookies!  Order some delicious lactation cookies from Milkin' Cookies or try your hand at baking some.

Baby Care items were also suggested as most hospitals, unfortunately, don't use toxin-free baby wash or baby lotion.  When I delivered my youngest, I made sure to have my own baby care products and also made sure to include a diaper cream/ointment.  So, I included BALM Baby's Diaper Balm in my New Momma Essentials goodie bag for my friend.  BALM Baby's Diaper Balm is an excellent diaper ointment choice and is made of all organic ingredients in Hawaii.  Some other great baby care products to consider including would be Sweet Knee Skin Care's On The Spot Moisturizing Stick as well as Sweet Knee Skin Care's Oatmeal Cookie Bath, both perfect for a newborn's delicate and sensitive skin.

 

 

Chocolate was mentioned and really what else is there to say?

 

 

So, what are some other must-have items you would include in a New Momma Essentials goodie bag?
