How it all began...
In the Spring of 2006, I found out that I was pregnant with my first child, and I immediately knew that once my baby was born I would do whatever necessary to breastfeed him. I was fortunate enough to have a baby who knew right from the start how to suckle, and then and there, a beautiful relationship came to be. I have since had another baby and I am enjoying nursing him just as much as I did my older son. In short, my journey through motherhood thus far has created a passion for breastfeeding. In my own personal experience I have found such joy, that I strive to help other moms-to-be realize the possibilities in the beautiful relationship that awaits them should they choose to nurse their babies. I also strive to encourage my friends who are also breastfeeding moms, when they encounter an issue that involves breastfeeding.

MamaPear Designs(TM) was born
when
it became overwhelmingly apparent to me that there needs to be a greater
social awareness created with regard to, and a real public dialogue
conducted about, breastfeeding. It needs to be encouraged and promoted
by health professionals and mamas alike. My hope is that when you wear
one of my designs, you will raise an eyebrow, provoke a thought, incite a
question, and create awareness for a cause that needs women like you to
help promote it. Join me as a proud Lactivist and let's change the
world...one pair at a time!
If you peek around this site, you will see that
MamaPear Designs(TM) aims to be more than just a store. This is a
place dedicated to sharing, educating, support, and giving back.
Please stop by our Forum to start a
discussion, or offer advice and support to other mamas. In addition,
please stop by the support section for links to helpful breastfeeding
resources and articles.
I am proud to announce that most recently my passion for breastfeeding has led me to formal education in this areas so that I may help women learn the value of breastfeeding and how to feed their babies. In Fall 2010, I will being my training as a Lactation Education Counselor, and I could not be more thrilled and excited.
Thanks for stopping by, we hope that www.mamapeardesigns.com becomes one of your favorite places!
