Pregnancy is a life-changing, beautiful experience. You are witness to your body growing and keeping your baby safe. As romantic and wonderful as pregnancy is, it is also a trying, uncomfortable time for many moms. From nausea to back pain, there are so many side effects that come with growing a baby. Add summer heat into the equation, and it only intensifies pregnancy discomfort. 

Luckily for modern moms, there is a better, more sustainable option for storing your breast milk.  BeauGen’s team of moms found Junobie Reusable Milk Storage Bags and we have fallen in love.  Better for Mother Earth, your sanity, and your wallet, it’s not hard to see why moms all over the world are falling in love with Junobie bags.

In this post, we’re going to provide information on a couple different ways to feed your baby to help you make the best choice for your growing family.  After reading this post, we strongly suggest speaking with your pediatrician and possibly a nutritionist.  These experts know your individual child, their nutritional needs, and their development and are able to make clinical recommendations for your child.

Through sharing relatable narratives, Hey, Black Mom! has become this digital home that amplifies our voices.  It is a website and brand meant to uplift, inspire, entertain and inform Black mothers. From stories about breastfeeding and breast cancer to reports and recent news, my aim was to create a trusted source for us.

There are a variety of ways in which you can hold or position your baby to breastfeed.  Different moms will prefer different positions.  Finding which position is right for you and your baby is a trial and error effort.  To help you, we’ve put together a post on some of the different ways a lactation specialist or IBCLC will have you try during your hospital stay.

After five years of increased sales and expanded marketplaces, most startups step away from innovation and focus solely on growth. However, our team of hard-working mamas does not stop. We are listening to our moms to ensure that we are addressing the right challenges and developing solutions that support all moms’ lactation goals!

We are continuously surveying our customers, moms just like you, and heard that our moms love how our cushions reduce this pain, and help to provide a better fit with your flange.  Your words were music to our ears!  However, we also learned we had areas to improve and additional challenges to address to order to meet our moms’ needs.

While we still don’t understand all of the secrets of breast milk, we do understand more than ever how healthy and powerful it is for our babies.  As a result, more moms are choosing to pump their breast milk rather than supplement with formula.  

Not all breast milk is the same.  Did you know that your milk changes over time? Breast milk, AKA Liquid Gold, Nectar of the Gods, or the ever fun ...

From diapers to door locks there is a lot to learn about as a new parent.  In this post we take a look at diapers, something new parents will spend a lot of time buying,changing, and possibly cleaning (if you go the reusable route).  Typically, as a new mom you learn everything you need to know about diapers from a mix of googling, shopping, talking to other moms, and of course, changing them.  But we’ve tried to shorten that learning curve and give you everything you need in one easy post.  Favorite this one and email it to a pregnant or new mom friend so that you have it both now and as a future reference!

The truth about breastfeeding is that it’s not always easy.  Yes, some moms will be able to do it from day one, but others will struggle.  Every mom’s breasts are unique. Our breasts are different shapes and sizes.  Some nipples are better suited for nursing, while others are inverted or elastic.  Having difficulty nursing doesn’t make you any less of a mom.  In fact, it’s perfectly normal. It just means moms might have to try a few different techniques to find a way that works between mama and baby.

We understand that you have a lot going on in the final weeks of your pregnancy.  Finalizing your nursery, preparing your birth plan, washing itty bitty baby clothes, baby proofing your home and now we’re heaping on learning about breastfeeding.  But, taking some time to read up on this important part of motherhood can help to smooth out the first few weeks of your baby’s life.
