Unfortunately, we’ve been advised by Canada Post that their shipping rates will be going up starting May 6, 2024. We’re not sure how this will affect how much we have to charge to send out pillows and/or covers, but I’m sure there will be an increase.
Order early to take advantage of today’s lower rates, and watch here to see how increase gas prices, increased carbon taxes, and inflation will affect your future orders.
Here’s a question from Connie in Toronto, ON:
Q: My baby is four days old. The nurses at the hospital said she has a good latch (we’ve been home for two days now), but my nipples are getting so sore! Is there some kind of cream that will help?
A: You mentioned that the hospital nurses said your baby is latching well – it would be good to confirm this by going back to the breastfeeding clinic at your hospital or Public Health clinic, since a proper latch is critical in avoiding nipple trauma. It is normal to experience some tenderness in the early days of breastfeeding, but pain that does not lessen in the first few seconds after latching can be a sign of other problems, including an improper latch. If the latch is determined to be correct, an excellent nipple ointment is available called APNO – All Purpose Nipple Ointment”. It was developed by Dr. Jack Newman, world-renowned breastfeeding expert whose clinic is right in your hometown of Toronto, Connie! APNO is made up of four ingredients that have been shown to treat a wide variety of nipple problems – you can learn more about it at http://www.breastfeedinginc.ca/content.php?pagename=doc-APNO.

Here’s a question from Kristine in Collingwood, ON:
Q: It’s been so hot this summer, and I’ve been wondering – does my two-month-old nursing baby need me to give her extra water?
A: No, Kristine, your breastmilk provides all the water your baby needs. Breastmilk actually changes in consistency as the feeding progresses – it is more watery at the beginning of the feed, and has more fat content as the feeding continues. The baby’s thirst is then satisfied by the greater water content at the outset, and then it is believed that the greater fat content at the end of the feed helps to signal fullness.

In February 1994, after having some issues breastfeeding her third child, Nancy came up with a notion that she could design, and make a C-shaped pillow to assist mothers in feeding their infants. After a few prototypes Nancy came up with the Cozy Cuddles Nursing Pillow and sold her first pillows in March 1994 to friends in Scarborough, ON. Now 30 years and nearly 33,000 pillows later, that same design has been sold throughout Ontario, North America, and even into Hong Kong!
Congratulations on 30 years of helping nursing mothers around the world nurture their newborns!!
