 "Breastfeeding is a natural safety net against the worst effects of poverty," says James P. Grant, former executive director for UNICEF. The benefits of breastfeeding have long been recognized as a major contributor to the overall health of both mother and baby. Lactation consultants, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the World Health Organization and many other experts encourage women to breastfeed for one year or longer. As study after study reveals, breast milk provides the best infant nutrition, protects against infection and supports brain development. It also has many benefits for mothers health and wellbeing.

The key to Motherloves success is its uncompromised quality and commitment as an educational resource on breastfeeding and natural personal care during pregnancy and beyond. 15 years ago, there were no products available to address the specific concerns of pregnancy and breastfeeding that were truly pure and organic," says Kathryn Higgins, founder of Motherlove. All of Motherlove's products are made using certified organic herbs without any synthetic ingredients whatsoever -- there are no petroleum-based ingredients (such as mineral oil), artificial fragrances, dyes or preservatives (such as methyl and propyl paraben) that are commonly found in body care products. All of Motherloves products are designed to provide safe, holistic alternatives for mothers who are concerned about what they use during their pregnancies, while breastfeeding and on babys delicate skin.
