"What a great site! I love it! I think changing the public perception of breastfeeding to show mums they can stay stylish and still breastfeed is much needed to fill a support void in Ireland. Culturally it is our public perception which holds so many people back.

"For those of us lucky enough to breastfeed successfully, we know how utterly convenient and easy it can make your life, particularly when travelling and especially when it comes to the lack of equipment required!  I find breastfeeding Scarlett (7 months) makes my hectic life so much more manageable than if I had to think about bottles, sterilisers etc.

"Breastfeeding is nutritionally the very best start for a baby's life, and can be a wonderful experience for mum too. Please do remember that you need to look after your own nutrition too while breastfeeding as it burns so many calories, so be sure to look after yourself and eat properly while breastfeeding ! Bring on the muffins!"

“No chef, food company or scientist can make food as perfect for your baby, as you can.  Yes, breastfeeding takes time, but the results are worth it.  Your baby’s health is undoubtedly improved and it’s great for getting you back in shape.  Besides the emotional bonding it gives both mother and baby, it’s hassle free in the sense that you’ve no bottles, sterilizers or worrying to do about milk temperatures.  And it’s free!”
