Maternity Store Offers the Wisdom of Mothers to Mothers-to-Be

November 05, 2004 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
A maternity clothing and nursing clothing website and then some, Eva Lillian Maternity & Nursing Boutique is a website full of facts and advice on an under-publicized "underground' parenting movement.

"Attachment Parenting' and "Positive Parenting' are terms that are not often heard in this age of the 2 income, 4+ bedroom house, cribs, carseats, and any-other-contraption-that-keeps-a-baby-occupied-and-apart-from-the-parent family. This age pushes our children toward independence at a young age (weaning at six months or a year, potty training at 18 months, their own beds and rooms from birth), and often views children as a (hardly) necessary inconvenience.

Attachment Parenting believes that babies are babies; babies need touch and to be babies as long as they need to be. Through this love, acceptance and parental/caregiver availability the child will grow to true independence in her own time.

Jessica Hudson, owner of Eva Lillian, is an Attachment Parent. She believes in drug-free childbirth, wearing your baby, co sleeping, exclusive and extended breastfeeding, and positive discipline, among other things. Because she believes so strongly in this method of childrearing she has collected or written dozens of articles on her site, which address such areas of pregnancy and parenting.

Eva Lillian also carries products tailor-made for an attachment parent, such as baby slings, co sleepers, and organic and natural products, to compliment the ultra-stylish designer maternity and nursing clothing. Not only have such products not been paired before, but no other online maternity store has offered such non-mainstream free information alongside it. Jessica said "I believe in giving pregnant women information that is difficult to find in our ‘give me all the drugs I can handle, formula companies rule, and the television is a better parent than I could ever be' society. I love opening eyes.'
