The nonprofit group "Best for Babes," the parties are launching this fall, AOL News reports. After that, home party kits, which are being developed with input from Facebook fans, will be available for new moms, lactation consultants and others.
Forbes says that her group wants to dispel the notion that breast-feeding is always easy.
"The truth is, it can be difficult and it's messy, and you're dealing with things like leaky boobs," Best for Babes co-founder Bettina Forbes tells AOL News. "But that's part of life, the way anything is. We want to make it real, not a Hallmark card. But not impossible either."
Check out the story on AOL News.

Bettina Forbes said...Thank you SO much for spreading the word on our BYOBoobz(tm) parties! We love Parent Dish!
One little favor, would you be so kind and swap out the photo with that of a nursing mom or even a happy baby or even balloons . . . we don't want moms to think we are giving out bottles and nipples. We will however be giving out sexy bras, nursing pads, and nipple butter, and supplements to ease engorgement for moms who decide not to nurse!
Thanks again so much for supporting ALL moms

Hannah said...I agree, swap out the picture! This sounds like an interesting idea. Is it like a shower that you throw for an expecting mom who wants to breastfeed?
