Motherwear's spring line is now online, and I recently had the pleasure of corresponding with the three models featured in the new catalog. Here is a glimpse into the lives of these working, nursing, modeling mothers.
First, to the left, is Natasha, who is mother to 6 1/2 month old Nikita. She says, "I LOVE breastfeeding! It came very naturally and I am going to continue with it for as long as possible. It made me connect with Nikita on some other level and this bond is precious. It is just amazing how your body can produce a complete, fully nutritious meal that is all your baby might possibly need. The two of us can take off anywhere we want to and there is no hassle of having to deal with bottles and warmers and sterilizers. It is GREAT!
How does she balance working and breastfeeding? "I have the luxury of making my own schedule as I work for myself. I also get to travel a lot, but so does he. We are 
inseparable at this point. He is attached to my body - literally, as I am a big fan of slings, which, by the way, make breastfeeding in public a whole lot easier. Then there is always a pump, which I am not personally too fond of, but it works."
To the right is Stacy, who is mother to 4 1/2 month old Cosette and 3 year old Christian. In addition to modeling she is a self-described "domestic engineer," and says that since she's home with her children, "breastfeeding fits right in." She says, "My favorite thing about breastfeeding is the closeness I get to experience with my daughter. I love when she comes off the breast for a minute and just looks up at me and smiles and then goes back to eating."
Her advice to other mothers? "Decide in your heart and commit to breastfeeding. It is not easy for some women in the beginning and when you go through the rough period the commitment enables you to persevere until it gets easier...and it DOES get easier, I promise!"
And to the left is Sagine, who is mother to 5 month old Jordan. She says of breastfeeding, "It's such a special gift that only you can give to your little one. It gives you tender one-on-one time with your baby." She loves the health benefits fo Jordan, the convenience, and the closeness: "It's just mommy and Jordan time."
