Hello Beautiful Nourisher!
On Saturday, Barb the Breast Express Bus made her final stop on the 2024 Feel Better, Feed Better Tour at the Old Stone House in Brooklyn. ðŸ˜
We felt the love as kids and families played all around Barb and paid it forward as parents hopped on board to feel seen, be nourished, connect over shared experiences, and walk away feeling more supported and empowered.
It was the perfect ending to a beautiful 2024 tour, full of warmth and support across the nation. Starting in July, Barb zig-zagged the country from the East Coast to the West, and so many places in between.Â
We saw thousands of mothers and families, held their babies, kissed their bellies and sent them off with some of the knowledge and the resources they'd need to feel better so they could feed better.Â
We introduced them to our wonderful partners - products and services designed to make their lives as feeding parents simpler and more joyful! (Pssstt...you can check them out here).
In each city we visited, we connected families to their local resources, putting them in touch with doulas, birthing centers, mental health services, lactation consultants (and more!) that they may not have otherwise known existed.
And we brought the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline along for the entire ride so parents know that they are just a call or text away from kind, vital, anonymous support.
On Saturday, we were even able to celebrate with some who we weren't able to see in person this year! We had a wonderful turnout for the Mother Pumpin' Party, our last (virtual) stop on the tour.
We gave a tour of the bus, celebrated our partners, and - most importantly - recognized all the mamas and their beautiful devotion!
While we gear up for what's next in 2025, we can't help but wonder...
What else can Barb do? Who else can this tour touch, connect with, and celebrate? Where do you, beautiful nourisher, want to see us next? And if you did see us, what were your favorite moments aboard Barb, The Breast Express?
