Nursing pads that don't stay in place, bras that don't fit, soaking wet T-shirts - this is the daily life of a breastfeeding mom who loses a lot of milk.
That mom is me! The originator of Mama Hangs was our daughter Romy, who spent all her time sleeping in a sling on top of me. If you've been following us for a while, you know the rest! Over a year of development to design innovative, easy-to-use baby carriers, ethically made in Portugal to make everyday life easier for young parents.
In parallel? Another idea. An idea that's been in the back of my mind for over 4 years, ever since my first breastfeeding.
January 26, 2018, Romy was born. Convinced that I wanted to breastfeed her, I didn't even buy a bottle and embarked on the adventure without question. Luckily, my breastfeeding went smoothly, but I lost a lot of milk and often ended up soaking wet... (it was 3 years later, pregnant with Georgia, that I learned from listening to a podcast by Milkshaker that I had hyperlactation).
That same year, a whole host of brands entered the menstrual panties market, which was already well developed in the United States. I immediately thought it would be great to have a "nursing bra version" of this kind of product. I ask around, but nothing exists. So I made do with my washable nursing pads, with which I still ended up soaking every other time.
Little by little, Mama Hangs grew and the idea of an absorbent, waterproof nursing bra remained in the back of my mind. I made enquiries of my suppliers, and one day found a workshop capable of carrying out the project.
