I stumbled upon this awesome website via Instagram and I was so excited to talk to Elena, the owner of Mama's MilkBox- the clothing delivery service for Nursing moms! What a great idea!
I filled out the survey and my MilkBox is being shipped in the next day or two. I am really looking forward to sharing all the wonderful fun, colorful, functional nursing clothing options with you all.

StitchFix Shipment #3
This was my favorite Fix so far! I asked for something I could wear for Easter, and that was breastfeeding friendly. They gave me a perfect dress! I also kept a nice set of gold stud earrings. There was a really soft nice scarf (but I have one very similar already), and a gorgeous lace blue top that just didn't quite fit right.
It was such a relief to have an Easter dress without hours of shopping...

Article: Parenting Lessons from Tribes Around the World

Here is my favorite passage:
So the babies are constantly on the mothers?
Yes, they’re never left alone. If the parents are working, the other brothers and sisters carry the babies. They’re always sleeping between the parents, or the brothers and sisters, and from when the day begins, they’re attached to another human being. Everywhere you go, that is a common denominator. Obviously, in the colder climates, they do that for warmth, but even in the warm climates.
Do the babies then still whine and cry?
Hardly at all, no. There’s always human contact. All their needs are being met. They’re constantly on the boob. They just need the warmth.

And during the night, do they wake a lot, nursing?
You never hear that they’re awake. They nurse all night, so they sleep like my children were brought up, next to their mother. If they’re hungry, they get something. There’s never any process of screaming or yelling.

Do you think this parenting style is possible in our society?
Our first one was attached to me, 24 hours of the day. I had this long wrap sling, and she grew up facing me, and then when she got older, she’d be facing out, and fall asleep. Everywhere I went on the bike, I had her in my sling. She lived in there, for about 3 years; so much so that when you took her out, she would scream, because she wanted the contact. She just came with us. If she fell asleep and we weren’t ready to go to bed, she would stay attached to me or my wife. Come bedtime, we would just put her down and we’d all sleep together.

It depends on how enthusiastic and committed you are as a parent. We live in this world of 1,001 opportunities and distractions. To keep the child away from that requires you to apply yourself as a parent, on a far greater level than most people ever do. Unfortunately, being acknowledged as a mother is not significant anymore. We believe it’s far more important to be somebody, and have a title.
