Last weekend, October 17-19, Evymama celebrated its first anniversary!
The Evymamas would like to thank all of the beautiful mamas (and their families) who joined us for delicious "mocktails" and gourmet truffles, as we celebrated the shop's first birthday. Congratulations to everyone who won a bonus certificate for $10-$100 off their next purchase, and those who won a free nursing or maternity top, or baby carrier of their choice. It was great to see many familiar faces, new babies and newcomers.
We've had a wonderful first year getting to know lots of moms and moms-to-be. We attended shows, actively worked in the community to promote breastfeeding, and proudly sponsored the Toronto and Mississauga Breastfeeding Challenges. We've had a lot of fun chatting with other moms during our Mama Walks and Thursday afternoon teas. We're planning many new and exciting things for our second year. We'll be at the Toronto Baby Time Show again this year, November 7-9 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Drop by our booth and say hi!
Be sure to visit the blog regularly for interesting news and information about pregnancy, breastfeeding, motherhood and events in the Evymama community!

Blissful Birthing and Breastfeeding
While you're choosing baby names and folding tiny onesies, don't forget to plan for a beautiful birth and happy breastfeeding!
Earth Mama Angel Baby Natural Stretch Oil (for your stretching skin) and Third Trimester Tea (to tone the uterus) are your allies in this last, exciting phase of your pregnancy. For labouring, the Evymamas recommend Earth Mama Labour Ease Oil.
Organic Preggie Pop Drops are handy for nausea during labour and for quick calories when you're getting depleted from all that effort.
The Hot Spot Labour Sock is a tiny dry compress for applying heat to labour aches without overheating you. This is an excellent item for partners to offer you when the need arises.
A high quality nursing bra provides great support and quick, discreet breastfeeding access in a snap--it's the most basic essential for your breastfeeding career.
A nursing foot stool or nursing pillow does wonders for correct positioning of baby at the breast--essential for proper latching on (which is the key to successful nursing).
To keep nipples comfortable in the early days, The Evymamas recommend organic nipple butters by Motherlove and Earth Mama Angel Baby.
The Evymamas love organic cotton and merino wool nursing pads to ensure your dryness and confidence as you go about town with your new nursling.
To help a new mama relax and to encourage milk production, nursing teas and More Milk tinctures are 100% natural, and very effective. These contain some or all of the galactogogues (herbs to promote milk production) fenugreek, blessed thistle, fennel seed, nettle leaf, and goat's rue.
And remember-- a little self-care goes a long way. Nursing tops and dresses for every day and special occasions make nursing as easy as breathing. No need for struggling with regular clothes or baring your midriff to let your hungry baby eat. Never underestimate the power of a gorgeous nursing wardrobe!
And just in case you needed more reasons to breastfeed for as long as possible, check out this article. The World Health Organization and the Canadian Pediatric Society recommend breastfeeding for at least two years.
If you are planning a natural birth or would like to learn more about natural birthing and breastfeeding, we can answer your questions and point you to great books on these topics.
