Huge Breastfeeding Prize Pack Giveaway (ARV $800)!

Whenever someone asks me to suggest something I didn't know about motherhood until I became a mom, the first thing that comes to mind is: breastfeeding isn't as easy as it sounds. Oftentimes, it takes practice and perseverance to achieve breastfeeding success. Luckily, more and more products are developed to help make breastfeeding easier for new and experienced moms. I'm so excited to present you the chance to win an amazing packaged filled with over $800 worth of products in honor of National Breastfeeding Month! Enter the giveaway for yourself or a breastfeeding mom you care about.

On August 6, 2011, the United States Breastfeeding Committee (USBC) officially declared that August is National Breastfeeding Month. This breastfeeding campaign, funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, was designed to encourage women in their breastfeeding journey by providing support and research about breastfeeding. For example, did you know that new research shows that babies who are exclusively breastfed for six months are less likely to develop ear infections, diarrhea and respiratory illnesses, and may be less likely to develop childhood obesity? Breastfeeding also helps reduce the risk of breast and ovarian cancer for moms.

The prize package includes all of the following:

Lansinoh: The Lansinoh family started over 30 years ago with a breastfeeding mom creating her own pure lanolin nipple cream when none other could be found.

Momsense: Almost every new breastfeeding mom wonders if her baby is getting enough to drink. Momsense developed a patented technology to measure a baby’s breast milk volume intake when nursing! The Momsense Smart Breastfeeding Meter informs moms how much breast milk their baby nursed by providing real-time data and reports. This allows moms to experience peace of mind, anywhere and anytime.

Once the Momsense earphones are connected to the smartphone and the sensor is placed under baby’s ear, the system is set to measure breast milk intake. Their patented technology follows the baby’s unique physiological swallowing patterns. By tracking and recording the baby’s swallowing patterns, their algorithms calculate in real-time the amount of breast milk consumed by the baby.

aden + anais: When CEO and co-founder Raegan Moya-Jones moved to the United States, she couldn’t find the muslin swaddles used by every mother in her native Australia.

Belly Armor: Belly Armor by RadiaShield is the definitive resource for information and tools to protect your child against the risks of everyday radiation. Emerging scientific evidence is showing health risks from everyday radiation, leading health experts and governments worldwide to advise precautionary measures against this exposure, particularly during pregnancy and early childhood. The WHO (World Health Organization) and European Commission have raised concerns over health risks, with the WHO reclassifying cell phone radiation as a possible carcinogen like engine exhaust and lead. All electronic devices emit electromagnetic radiation, including: cell phones, smartphones, laptops, wi-fi, power lines, televisions, gaming systems, and microwave ovens.

With the Belly Armor Nursing Cover, you can nurse in privacy while also shielding your baby from everyday radiation. Stylish, discrete this cover is 99.9% effective at shielding radiation from cell phones, laptops and other devices.

It shields by neutralizing incoming electromagnetic waves, canceling out the ambient radiation and reducing your exposure. This nursing cover is available in Aster or Mint fashion options and the winner may choose her favorite.
