365 days to be greener

Denise Van Outen has blamed the paparazzi for having to give up breastfeeding. She couldn’t bear being photographed in Starbucks with her new born and then potentially seeing pictures of her exposed breasts all over the papers.
She also claims not to have produced enough milk. This could very well be true but with the right help and support there are all sorts of [...]

I promised you pictures of the beautiful pictures my cupcake lady made for the Baby Expo and here they are….
From Fiona at Sugar Sugar, they taste as good as they look

Here are the lovely ladies out in support of MILK, wearing all of our Summer collection.
Some of them were shaking when they first went on and by the end they were waving and dancing for the audience. It was lovely to watch……Magic night.

Today we did a massive family exhibition up at the race course in Brighton. My stand was two days in the making, my cupcakes, luscious and my brow, fevered by the time the doors opened.

Here is where we got them The Biodegradable Bag Company

Obviously my thing is breastfeeding otherwise I wouldn’t be trying to make a living selling clothes that enable you to do it more discretely and comfortably.
However, for those occasions when you need to bottle feed, whether you are expressing or making up formula, its best to avoid plastics – and especially to avoid heating said plastic bottles [...]

Just like Mama Cocoon.
I run a business selling breastfeeding clothes, and although we are only 20 days in to trying to give up plastics I have been firmly in denial about how to effect this change across my whole life.
