Importance of Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding is a very special time for both mama and baby. It is an intimate experience where a unique bond occurs. Breastfeeding your baby will provide all the nutrients that baby needs. This sacred milk of love will nourish your babe’s whole being.

Breast are a symbol of nurturance and nursing is a service of unconditional love.

For a new mama breastfeeding can be a struggle and also very painful at the beginning. It is important that mom is supported throughout her sacred window so she can have the best possible breastfeeding experience. I have created a package of herbs to support nursing as well as a homemade nipple balm with high quality ingredients to heal inflammation and to soothe pain.
