“It’s the most natural thing in the world!” seems to be the general consensus women across the world are being told. While this holds some relative truth, it doesn’t promise an easy journey.
Recently, the BBC released an emotional article letting mothers share their devastation as their expected wonderful breastfeeding journeys ended. This article showed the raw side of the reality that women can face without proper lactation support, which unfortunately is all too common. Fellow My Brest Friend Mom/Supporter, Kyllie says “I felt robbed of the special moments we had together when he was able to latch, being unable to continue was something I needed to grieve for a while.”
IBCLC’s (International Board-Certified Lactation Consultants) go through extensive training to assist mothers with complications that arise with breastfeeding and help to change the narrative from grief to joy. Sore nipples, improving latch, pump settings, flange sizes, tongue ties, you name it, they’ve seen it. These professionals have many tips, tricks, and encouragement to instill a new confidence while developing a plan of care to ensure a happy and healthy journey for you + baby.
Among the plan of care, some recommendations may be discussed to assist you in your journey. Breastfeeding pillows, nipple balm, proper flanges, milk storage bags, etc. all may be discussed. Most of these items are easily found with a quick google search, but that doesn’t mean they all assist in the right way, or even with the best quality.
My Brest Friend is the #1 product recommended by Lactation Consultants, and with good reason. The My Brest Friend nursing pillows offer a firm, supportive cushion to assist with proper latching (while simultaneously providing back support to mom). This design allows moms to focus on the infant’s latch and feeding, instead of worrying about infant squishing into the pillow, reaching at the breast, or rolling into the abdomen (which can happen with the popular softer U-shaped pillows), all of which can alter the latch leading to an unsuccessful feed and sore nipples. Not to mention, the My Brest Friend nursing pillow is the safest on the market due to its firm cushion, sharper edges, and wider curve to ensure proper feeding.
Beyond the great variation of nursing pillows offered (including twin/plus size, and travel), they offer a variety of other products that assist in your journey. A well-designed stool to elevate mother’s feet allows you to properly recline, and relax during your feed. An across-the-board 5 star review of the organic nipple cream (which is lanolin free) is a must have for tender, sore, or cracked nipples to promote healing as well (Highly recommended also for use inside flanges while pumping.).
My Brest Friend does a wonderful job of offering quality products, while simultaneously working alongside the Lactation Consultant community to bring back the joy of breastfeeding journey.
