New Animal Jingle Nursing Necklace at Lactivist

Nursing Necklaces at LactivistThe Animal Jingle Nursing Necklace  is the latest addition to the range of breastfeeding jewellery handpicked and specially chosen for www.lactivist.co.uk.

It consists of brightly coloured beads of many different colours, sizes and textures including animal and bells! (Your necklace may vary from the photograph shown due to the availability of beads.)

This necklace would make a fantastic gift for an expectant mum, a baby shower or for your own baby

Babybeads necklaces are specifically made with safety in mind from fun colourful and attractive non-toxic acrylic beads.
The necklaces are strung on ultra strong waterproof cord (not fishing line like some other necklaces on the market) tested to 100lbs (approximately 45kg) breaking strain and are knotted to minimise loss of beads in the unlikely event of a breakage. The necklace is secured very strongly using a unique knotting method.

Lactivist News May 2011

Breastfeeding Awareness Week Funding Cut
As you may know the government has cut funding for BFAW this year.
There is a petition asking them to reconsider this short sighted cost cutting – it needs 10,000 signatures to get to parliament so please pass it around – as I write it is on 500, we have a long way to go. The link is http://www.petitiononline.com/fundBFAW/petition.html
If you have a blog or a website you can put a counter on the code to do that is on www.lactivist.net http://www.lactivist.net/?p=2749

Lactivist t-shirts in sizes 1-2 and 3-4.
The supplier of the blank t-shirts in the bigger sizes has stopped making them in unbleached cotton. I have a fair few in stock as I bought the last blanks but after that I will not be doing these sizes so get them while you can. I can find organic blanks in size 12-18 months and 3-4 years but nothing in between so to make it easier to run Lactivist I’ll stop at 18 months when these big ones are sold out. There will still be t-shirts in all sizes availaible on Zazzle and Cafe Press and I’ll be adding to the designs available when I get a chance.

Lactivist Future
This is my last year of running Lactivist voluntarily, to put it bluntly I have to earn some money, unless we win the lottery or a rich husband comes along and marries me I need to provide for my son. I’m having to cut down the amount of time I spend on Lactivist as I need that time to do paid work.

Things that have really helped recently have been all the volunteer admins on the Lactivist Facebook Page which is now incredibly vibrant and busy. I could do with more help on the Lactivist blog – www.lactivist.net so if anyone has experience of wordpress and has time to keep a blog updates with breastfeeding information, events and links then please email me – moomum@lactivist.co.uk.

My plan at the moment for next year is to keep a shell of Lactivist open, selling just a handful of t-shirt designs in the 3 smallest sizes and shopping bags and stopping badges, keyrings, postcards and hats. This would make it a whole lot easier to run and give me a lot more time. But, when I get a moment I’m going to produce 2 new designs – one for cloth nappies and one for babywearing, in the hope of opening up the market a bit.

Keyrings are a safer alternative, they are plastic coated have a mirror on the back (my son still loves mirrors!) and a metal ring. Magnets are 45mm in diameter and plastic coated. They all cost £1 each.

BoobBaby – new breastfeeding shop!

BoobBaby is a brand new website supplying a range of breastfeeding accessories including breast pumps, milk storage equipment, breastfeeding cushions, scarf’s, pro-breastfeeding t-shirts and bags and a lot more. We are stockists of Medela, Avent, Lansinoh, Mamascarf, Dreamgenii, Lactivist and we also stock a range of breastfeeding books from publishers Pinter and Martin. The website also includes a resource centre, which aims to provide information and advice to mothers who are breastfeeding and also to pregnant ladies who are hoping to breastfeed. BoobBaby is a small, family business run by myself, Sarah Appleton, along with my husband Ryan. We pride ourselves in not only providing quality products at competitive prices, but also offering outstanding customer service.

The idea for the website came about after my experience in trying to establish breastfeeding with my son. After a traumatic birth, which ended in an emergency caesarean and me losing 2.5 litres of blood and being very poorly, we found it difficult to get breastfeeding going. It was made harder as my son lost too much weight after birth, resulting in a trip back to hospital. This completely knocked my confidence in my ability to feed and nourish my son and I was very close to giving up breastfeeding altogether. However, after a stern word from a midwife and as a result of my stubborn nature we stuck at it and have not looked back since. Nearly 10 months down the line we have a happy little boy who still loves his boob. As a result of my experience I have become increasingly passionate about breastfeeding and think that there needs to be more support for women who want to breastfeed, but are finding it difficult.

There is a wealth of excellent breastfeeding information and advice on the Internet, and also excellent telephone support from breastfeeding charities. However I have found it difficult to find straightforward information quickly. Also, whilst most companies who sell breastfeeding equipment and accessories provide some information about breastfeeding, I found this information to be lacking in some substance. So the aim of Boob Baby is to not only supply breastfeeding accessories, but to also provide information and advice about breastfeeding that is easy to read and easy to find quickly.

So pop over and have a look at our website at www.boobbaby.co.uk and should you have any feedback we would be happy to hear from you, just drop us an email info@boobbaby.co.uk we are also on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/pages/BoobBaby/120480961339668?ref=nf and Twitter http://twitter.com/BoobBaby
