Breastfeeding products, tips, and advice for moms and moms to be.
The first few weeks of breastfeeding aren't always easy. In fact, they were pretty excruciating for me. My Little Beauty ate like a champ and latched on "perfectly", according to my delivery nurse and the two lactation consultants that I worked with.

Although it's on the pricey side ($39.99), it's stylish and appears to be decent in the "lightweight" and "easy to use" departments. Bundle Under has a similar product.
