Re-useable eco-friendly nursing pads
We already know the multitude of benefits that breastfeeding has...the biggies such as lifelong health benefits for both baby and mom, to the smaller ones such as convenience (which we breastfeeding moms all love at 3am!).
One of the great benefits of nursing your little one is that it is also an eco-friendly option. How so? No formula packaging and no use of electricity to warm formula just to name a few. But how can you be even more eco-friendly while breastfeeding? By using re-useable nursing pads.
Bamboobino is a Canadian company based in British Columbia. I have been using their bamboo nursing pads since day 1 with my youngest and I LOVE them! You can read about the great properties of bamboo fibres here, but these are just a few that are important to a nursing pad in particular:
* it is a natural antibacterial
* it is more absorbant than cotton
* it wicks way the moisture from your body which is important for a nursing pad
* it is hypoallergenic
