You may not know this, but I have a soft spot for one of the products we sell.

It’s nearest and dearest to my heart. Why? Because it’s exactly what I wished I had for so many many years, so many years ago.

Our nursing pads.

My children have all grown up well beyond the nursing stage now. My eldest will be 20 in just two months. My youngest, our twin girls, are now 11.5 years old.

I have not nursed a child since they were just 2.5 years old.

It feels like just yesterday Julia looked up at me when she tried to nurse, and let out a little cry, and said, “Wawa (her way of saying Shaylah, her twin sister) drinked all my milk…”

I knew then that our nursing days were over. My milk was now gone.

In total, I’ve nursed five babies for 108 months of my life.

During that entire time, I always wanted some awesome nursing pads. I was a soaker, a super soaker. I wanted super soaker nursing pads that could withstand my super soaking needs.

However, at that time I didn’t know about pul, organic cotton fleece, and other such high quality fabrics that could help me.

So instead, I made myself reusuable nursing pads out of flannel from the local fabric store, and, of all things, baby plastic pants.

I cut out tear drop shapes, and sewed them onto the backs of my homemade contoured nursing pads.

I had no pretty colorful pul back then. Such a thing didn’t even exist in Canada! But the plastic pants, purchased at a local thrift store, actually did suffice fairly well!

BUT, when I learned of pul… and absorbent organic fabrics…
I was in awe. TOTAL awe! These amazing fabrics that could withstand leaks, even leaks like those of mount milkie! I wished I had discovered these fabrics years before, but was so VERY happy I had discovered it now!

Maybe I couldn’t help myself, as my nursing days were now over, but I could however, help those who understood the same frustrations I had felt when nursing.

And this, is how our nursing pads were born. Years ago, and now loved by so many.

I thank YOU for that!
