Holiday Greetings to all who read this blog! As a relative newcomer to this whole “blog – thing”, I find myself less than consistent with writing and adding new information (I, too, am a busy mom, often feeling that there’s more to do than time to do it in) – perhaps a good New Year’s resolution to commit to! But thank you all who turn to these pages.

To add to your reading pleasure and to help you find great advice and networking with other moms, I pass on to you a connection to other moms here in Vermont…www.greenmountainmoms.com

More reasons women LOVE LANACare nursing pads…

Published at December 2, 2007 in Feedback and Comments. 0 Comments

“I started using my pads this week and they are WONDERFUL! I am so happy! Tons better than those flannel ones I’d bought, which weren’t absorbent after only a year’s use. And I always felt sort of wasteful whenever I use the disposable ones–like I’m killing the earth with so many discarded breast pads. Wish I’d known about this when I had my first baby.”

- Julie, California

“I DO love those woolen nursing pads. WHAT a difference compared to regular-ole-ones you can get at a store. I would consider NOTHING else after using these. … THEY are great and sooooo easy to care for!”
- Sindy, Minnesota

“Even during our hot, 100-degree summer, my pads kept me dry and comfortable.”
- Amy, Nebraska

What do women say about LANACare nursing pads … ?

Published at November 29, 2007 in Feedback and Comments. 0 Comments

“I love your pads!  They are the most wonderful nursing pads that I’ve ever tried, both disposable and cotton.  This is my third child and oh how I wish I knew about your products with my first two.  My nipples are soft and never red, dry, or raw…and my daughter is a good sucker from the very first feeding.  I dreaded having to nurse my other two.  Now, it’s such a joy knowing that my daughter is fed breastmilk and my breasts are not in pain!  I would definitely recommend your pads to all my pregnant and nursing friends!”
- Jocelyn, Hawaii

“LANACare nursing pads must have been sent by GOD!  They are amazing!  They were soothing to me and I was able to heal sore nipples within a week or so.  Shortly after I healed, I was more relaxed during nursing and I started to produce more milk.  I was happy, my baby was happy, our whole family was happy!”
- Felicia, Oregon

“I think these nursing pads are the greatest.  Frankly, they rate up there at the very, very top of my favorite baby/nursing items purchased.  Thank you for introducing them to the U.S.!!!”
- Marcie, Florida

Why buy LANACare products?

Published at November 20, 2007 in Feedback and Comments. 1 Comment

Just some reasons women LOVE LANACare products….

“I bought a baby blanket to use as a throw, and it is utterly delicious. It feels more like cashmere to me than wool - so soft! It is rare nowadays to find a product that actually lives up to its promises. But my blanket is everything you said it would be and more.”

- Autumn, Arizona

“I bought the preemie set and a blanket for a girlfriend who’d just given birth to a baby boy, 8 weeks premature. He thrived–thanks in part to his wonderful LANA woolens…his sweater, cap and accessories soothed him and kept him content like no other thing. He still sleeps with his lovely LANACare blanket.

Also, I gave birth to my third child a little over three weeks ago, and have been dealing with *extremely* sore nipples. Nothing seemed to improve the pain I was experiencing (which was not a result of latch-on…I’ve seen two L.C.s in the past couple of weeks.) Amazingly, within one day of wearing your wonderful nursing pads, the soreness has gone away! The pads are incredibly soft, warm, comfortable and absorbent. Thank you, thank you, thank you for offering such a wonderful product to nursing mothers!”

- Jane, Illinois

A Photo’s Worth A Thousand Words!

I have a dilemma and I’d love to receive some feedback! For years we’ve used the photo of a little baby girl lying peacefully on a mattress pad, covered with her LANACare woolen blanket, to show how soothingly soft & comforting LANACare products are. But this little girl is lying on her side, on a soft, cushy mattress pad. Research now shows that babies should sleep on their backs on a firm surface to help prevent SIDS.

As a midwife and mother, I wholeheartedly support the “Back to Sleep” campaign. Research across the world shows that laying the baby on its back to sleep significantly reduces a baby’s risk for SIDS – in some countries SIDS rates were cut almost in half by adhering to this one single measure – findings too important to be ignored! Also, providing a firm surface for your baby to lie on has also been proven significant in reducing SIDS. LANACare mattress pads have been revised to provide this firm underlying surface for your baby.

Our photo of the baby girl was a true-to-life photo. Her father, a Danish photographer, was amazed when his baby girl, who was crying inconsolably, settled down and fell asleep once wrapped in her LANACare blanket. He was so impressed he felt compelled to photograph her. Thus she became the representative for LANACare products worldwide! She loved her LANACare blanket and carried it with her wherever she went, in the same way so many babies come to treasure their LANACare blanket.

So what to do? Should we stop using this photo as it no longer represents evidence-based research? Or should we continue? Please help! Send us your feedback! Thanks!

Spreading the word…

Published at August 7, 2007 in Company Info and Feedback and Comments. 0 Comments

As a nurse-midwife and lactation consultant, there is a professional commitment to not market a particular product to the women I work with. A bit of a conflict of interest, when I find myself owning a company which sells a product that I feel can be so helpful to so many women! But I have always held true to my stance of neither promoting nor profiting from these products by way of the nursing mothers I work with directly.

Thus, I often rely upon other women’s experiences and testimonials with the nursing pads to spread the word of these wonderful products. I truly value any and all feedback I get, since my goal is to promote a product which helps women achieve that wonderful dream, which I myself had, of simply and painlessly putting my child to breast and feeding her to a blissfully full belly.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have about the products! - Janice Emanuelsson, RN IBCLC, Certified Swedish Nurse-Midwife and President, Danish Woolen Delight.
