My name is Ania and I am a new mum of a 6-month-old baby girl. Sofia is my first child and being a mum is a big new task in my life which I enjoy very much. Every day I overcome new challenges which I have to deal with as a parent, mum and a wife.
I started breastfeeding Sofia straight after she was born (25th April 2012) and she is still fully breast fed. I am thinking I will feed her as long as I have good milk supply and as long as she is happy to be breast fed but ideally it would be until she is 2 years old.
I have lots of experience of breastfeeding in public. It was difficult in the beginning to do in front of other people and usually I would feed Sofia at home or if I had to do in a Public I would use a Parents’ room. The funniest situation happened to me with a group of mums when we met for our weekly Mothers’ Group meeting in a Park and all of us ( 9 ) had to breast feed at the same time. We were sitting on a ground feeding our little ones and people were passing by with amused looks. All of us were laughing when we realized what had happened.
I found out about Mamaway when I was heavily pregnant, walking in Hornsby Westfield shopping centre. I did not need any maternity clothes anymore at that time but I had noticed there were also nursing tops in the shop. However, at that time I had no idea about breastfeeding and how important it is to have comfortable easy access tops when you feed your little one, especially in public. A few weeks after I gave birth to Sofia, I made my first purchase with Mamaway. Since then I am a very loyal customer. I wear Mamaway clothes every day and even every night! The breastfeeding design of the clothes is very easy and comfortable. Personally, I like the tops with pull-down opening design most.
The Mamaway baby carrier is another fantastic product I would like to recommend. I was not that convinced until I heard other mums at a Mamaway workshop talking about it and sharing how much easier their life is when they have two hands free. I thought I might give it a try and see if Sofia liked it. I bought the Mamaway sling when Sofia was a couple of months old and I was carrying her in cuddle position. When she got older I switched to Koala Position and she definitely loves it. She was very alert when she was little so she prefers Koala Position to Cuddle Position because she can see much more around her. Every time when we are out and about, she gets very excited and gives me a big smile as soon as she sees me getting the sling because she knows what is going to happen. This is such a great feeling to see her so happy and she can sit in a sling for hours being very happy, playing and talking. The bond between us is getting stronger and stronger. I am so happy to have her so close and I am sure she feels the same way. The baby sling is so simple but changes my daily life so much more than you can imagine.
