Join us in taking a bold stand against the unfair judgment mothers face for nursing.
By speaking openly about breastfeeding, we challenge the stigmas, empowering parents to nurse confidently anytime, everywhere.
60%
of mothers feel they lack adequate support from healthcare providers or lactation consultants.
40%
of working mothers face inflexible work environments that do not accommodate breastfeeding or pumping needs. This includes issues like limited break times and lack of private spaces.
25%
of mothers feel uncomfortable breastfeeding in public due to potential negative reactions.
Stigma around breastfeeding disproportionately affects marginalized communities, including Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), LGBTQ+ parents, low-income families, and those with disabilities.
These groups face compounded challenges due to systemic inequities, lack of access to breastfeeding support, culturally competent care, and historical mistrust of healthcare systems.
This has led to lower breastfeeding rates and poorer health outcomes for both parents and their babies in these communities.
To amplify the voices of the 42% of Canadian moms who face prejudice while nursing in public, we've developed limited editions bras featuring our patented ALUXTRA clasp-free technology to empower confident nursing wherever you are.
