And I did it – March 8th International Women’s Day

6 March, 2020 LactApp Comments 0 Comment

We have been thinking a long time about how to prepare for this day, a day of mobilizations, of demands, of feelings, a day full of sisterhood and feminism.

Soon it was time to let her interact with many other people. It was a magical moment, clumsy, full of fears and pride, similar to that first step our children took. Soon…

29 July, 2019 Alba Padró Comments 0 Comment

Breastfeeding during pregnancy is becoming more and more common. It is not easy for mothers, as they are likely to receive uninformed comments and opinions regarding the risk of breastfeeding while they are pregnant. None of this is true, and when everything goes well in the pregnancy, there is no reason to stop breastfeeding. But what if something goes wrong?
