Motherlove ®Herbal Company Annouces Sponsorship Of Leading Breastfeeding Organizations

Laporte, CO -- Motherlove® Herbal Company (www.motherlove.com) announced today their yearlong sponsorship of leading breastfeeding organizations Best for Babes Foundation, La Leche League International, #bfcafe Twitter Party and Holistic Moms Network. "Since I founded Motherlove 20 years ago, supporting breastfeeding mothers has been one of our top priorities," said Kathryn Higgins, CEO and founder of Motherlove. "Our line of breastfeeding products has been revolutionary in the industry and our support of breastfeeding advocacy organizations is one of the cornerstones of this company," Higgins added.

Motherlove is a new sponsor of the Best for Babes Foundation (www.bestforbabes.org), an organization dedicated to beating the "Booby Traps™" and supporting all moms, without guilt or pressure. "We chose to work with Best for Babes because of their modern makeover of the issue of breastfeeding coupled with the unconditional support for all mothers and education on how to remove the barriers to breastfeeding," said Higgins. "Education and breastfeeding advocacy need to go hand in hand with support for all mothers," she added. Motherlove has also pledged to dontate 20% of all proceeds from the August sales of More Milk Plus, the best-selling breast milk supplement, to Best for Babes in celebration of World Breastfeeding Week and National Breastfeeding Month.

Holistic Moms Network (www.holisticmoms.org) is an organization that offers parent-to-parent support for mothers with a network of local chapters all over North America. Members meet monthly and share encouragement and information. "I believe that the Holistic Moms Network mission of supporting parents as they make decisions about how to nurture their families is what ultimately makes breastfeeding successful for a longer period of time," said Higgins. "Many organizations are focused on new mothers, but mothers of older children need support too, especially as they return to work," added Higgins.

"As technology changes, mothers look for information in new places, including social media," explained Higgins. Twitter parties have become a popular way of socializing and sharing information and support online. The #bfcafe Twitter party is focused on breastfeeding and Motherlove has committed to sponsoring one chat every month for the next year. "It's challenging and exciting to learn new ways to connect with our customers," said Higgins. "Twitter lets us talk directly to moms who have questions or need help with breastfeeding."

Motherlove's support of La Leche League International (www.llli.org) has been ongoing for over a decade. La Leche League International has been instrumental in bringing breastfeeding education to women all over the world. "We have chosen to support La Leche League for so many years because breastfeeding, while natural, can be difficult for mothers and babies to master," said Higgins. "The commitment of La Leche League to breastfeeding education and awareness on a global level is to be applauded," she explained.
