WHERE IT ALL STARTED
When my daughter was born, I knew breastfeeding and breast milk were the best choice for me, having previously breastfed my son. But within a few weeks I started experiencing some of the well-known breastfeeding problems.
Due to lack of sleep and having to care for my 16-month-old son, what seemed like the simplest thing, of remembering which breast to feed my baby from, soon became impossible. Whilst breastfeeding my baby, she was easily distracted, and her eyes would start to roam with my nipple in tow…ouch! All of this resulted in engorged breasts from not alternating regularly enough and painful nipples caused by my little one constantly pulling away.
Feeling frustrated, I started to dread breastfeeding. So, I began asking friends and searching mum and baby forums to see what other mothers were doing to address these problems. I sadly discovered that many mothers were giving up breastfeeding before they wanted to, and I realized there wasn’t a satisfactory product on the market to help solve these problems. It was then in 2011 that the concept of the Mumba bra was born.
Moving through my motherhood journey, I realized how all-consuming motherhood is and how little time we make to nurture ourselves as we nurture our babies. This was a wake-up call that led me to a pivotal realization: the art of motherhood isn’t just about giving, but also about nourishing oneself. And so, we implemented our Mumba Care – Be Nourished range, to encourage, support, and champion the cause of self-care for breastfeeding mothers. We believe that to nurture others, you must first nurture yourself. It’s a simple yet profound truth that sparked the inspiration for our Mumba Care products. We want to ensure all mothers can breastfeed for as long as they choose to, with the loving care that they need and deserve.
I therefore hope that our products will support you in your incredible journey.
