Earth Mama Booby Tubes
EARTH MAMA 257187
Regular price $44.50 Sale price $31.00 Save 30%Booby Tubes® are clever little, gel-free breast packs made with an organic cotton shell and filled with fresh, pliable flax seed. Use warm or cold, depending on your nursing needs. When heated, Booby Tubes® deliver warm, moist heat to tender breasts; when stored in the freezer they offer cooling comfort. Traditionally used to help ease breastfeeding discomfort, heat can help encourage milk flow, avoid clogged ducts, promote let-down and comfort the symptoms of infection, and cold is used to help reduce the swelling and tenderness of engorgement and weaning.
Earth Mama's unique gel-free construction was designed with extra care to help reduce the risk of burns. Two Booby Tubes® per box, one for each…well, boob.
Eco-packaging is made from recycled cardboard, with no bleach, dyes or glue. 100% recyclable.
A QUICK HOW-TO
Warm Booby Tubes® in your microwave for 20-40 seconds, and apply as necessary. Or store in the freezer and wear them inside your bra between feedings. Pair with mindful breathing as needed (because ladies: the breastfeeding struggle is real).
How do I clean my Booby Tubes®?
Wipe the organic cotton with a damp cloth. Don't submerge them in water or put them in a washing machine — the flax seeds may sprout (seriously)!

Engel organic cotton nursing/sleeping bra, black
ENGEL 364150 02 75D-80E 02-Black
Regular price $43.00This bra is the one that many women hope to find! Engel made it as a nursing bra, which it functions very well as; the breast may be easily freed for nursing by pulling cup to the side. However, beyond nursing years, it's a quite comfortable bra with a surprising amount of support, even for a C-cup.
Many women look for a bra to wear for some light support while sleeping, and we find this one also just perfect for this, as the wide, comfortably stretchy yet snug, bands under the breasts and at the shoulder straps are so comfortable.
Due to its high elasticity and its wonderful comfort, “Lena” is also suitable for women with breast injuries.
92% organic cotton. GOTS-certified. 8% spandex thread twisted with organic cotton so that the skin is only in contact with soft organic cotton.
Made in Germany.

The fabulous M coat is a true Canadian success story! Once you slip into one, you understand why. Luxurious and warming Canadian down in a premium quality easy-care shell. Few of us are pampered so well by a coat even when we're not pregnant! Add to that, the functionality: zip-in or out shell can be worn one way during pregnancy, the other way for baby-wearing, or taken out altogether for many years of stylish wear after baby.
The size that you are normally, is the size that you will purchase with the M coat. For example, if you are normally a Medium, zipping in the panel will give you the extra girth that you require in the chest and around the tummy when pregnant.
100% Canadian Down.

Self-Reg - How to Help Your Child (and You) Break the Stress Cycle and Successfully Engage with Life
ISBN 9780143191575
Regular price $19.80By Dr Stuart Shanker
There’s no such thing as a bad kid. That’s what a lifetime of experience has taught internationally celebrated research professor Dr. Stuart Shanker. No matter how difficult, out of control, distracted, or exhausted a child might seem, there’s a way forward: self-regulation. Overturning decades of conventional wisdom, this radical new technique allows children and the adults who care for them to regain their composure and peace of mind.
Self-Reg is a groundbreaking book that presents an entirely new understanding of your child’s emotions and behaviour and a practical guide for parents to help their kids engage calmly and successfully in learning and life. Grounded in decades of research and working with children and parents by Dr. Shanker, Self-Reg realigns the power of the parent-child relationship for positive change. Self-regulation is the nervous system’s way of responding to stress. We are seeing a generation of children and teens with excessively high levels of stress, and, as a result, an explosion of emotional, social, learning, behaviour, and physical health problems. But few parents recognize the “hidden stressors” that their children are struggling with: physiological as well as social and emotional. An entrenched view of child rearing seesour children as lacking self-control or willpower, but the real basis for these problems lies in excessive stress.
Self-regulation can dramatically improve a child’s mood, attention, and concentration. It can help children to feel empathy, and to cultivate the sorts of virtues that most parents know are vital for their child’s long-term wellbeing. Self-regulation brings about profound and lasting transformation that continues throughout life. Dr. Shanker translates decades of his findings from working with children into practical, prescriptive advice for parents, giving them concrete ways to develop their self-regulation skills and teach their children to do the same and engage successfully with life for optimal learning, social, and emotional growth.

Praise
“Though this book takes children’s needs as its focus, it is really focused on providing guidance—and even a degree of consolation—to adults as they navigate the often tricky parent-child relationship. Shanker gives readers clear explanations of even the more complex neurological information, such as the role of the limbic system, as well as ample diagrams. And the discussion does not stop at the early childhood stage, moving ultimately into adolescence. If the stressed populations most in need of this book’s lessons can find the time to read it, they will appreciate its potential to bring the minds of both parent and child to a state of heightened attentiveness with minimal anxiety.” — Publishers Weekly
