Welcome!
to The Art of Breastfeeding, founded in 1993 by Nancy Mohrbacher IBCLC. Nancy is a board-certified lactation consultant and co-author of The Breastfeeding Answer Book, the most complete and comprehensive breastfeeding counseling guide available. A reference used worldwide by lactation consultants, La Leche League leaders, doctors, and nurses.

Our mission is to help you meet your breastfeeding goals. We do this by offering hard-to-find, high-quality products designed to make breastfeeding easier, so you can get what you need when you need it. But more than that, we provide the information and support you need to use the pumps and products optimally.

Let us simplify your life by offering one-stop shopping for all the best brands, such as Medela and Hollister (formerly Ameda/Egnell), and the best breastpumps and products. (Unlike many other sites, our loyalty is to you, not to one company.) With formula costing $100 to $175 per month, products that make breastfeeding easier are a wonderful investment that can pay back many times over.

With every breastpump, you'll receive an original information sheet written by Nancy, which is designed to give you the information you need to use your pump most effectively, as well as the current milk storage and handling guidelines. And when you receive your pump or product, you are welcome to e-mail us with your questions. Nancy and her trained lactation specialists will be there for you. (See our About our Staff page to meet us personally.)

Learn while you shop! To understand the basics of breastfeeding and more, browse through the breastfeeding articles by Nancy Mohrbacher, IBCLC. Wondering which breastpump to use? What are the differences between the Medela Pump In Style and the Hollister Purely Yours? Will the less-expensive Nurture III breastpump (or even a manual pump) meet your needs? See our Choosing a Pump article. Also, read the descriptions of our other quality products:

• Nursing pillows --three different styles, including the popular My Brest Friend , plus two others designed for mothers of twins and triplets (see our Multiples page).
  
  
• Over-the-Shoulder Baby Holder --newborn to age 3, for hands-free carrying of baby or toddler and discreet nursing in public. With more fabric and padding than other brands, parents rate it "most comfortable."
  
  
• Mother's Milk Storage Bags. Less expensive than name brands but easier to use, with twist ties attached to the bags for easy sealing and pouring. Thick bags won't split in freezer like bottle liners.
  
  
• Lansinoh, the purest of the ultra-purified lanolins. Safe for mother and baby. Helps heal and soothe sore nipples.

In the Chicago area we offer breastfeeding classes and home or office breastfeeding consultations. If you need a breastpump, baby scale, or other helpful products, you can get home delivery by a trained lactation specialist. Let us provide you with the most current milk storage guidelines while we teach you how to make the most of your new Medela Pump In Style, Hollister Purely Yours, or other high-quality breastpump or breastfeeding product. We give you the personal attention you need in the privacy of your own home.
