I had a really hard time finding clothing that was easy to breastfeed in My style is edgy, sleek and sophisticated but the only options I could find made me feel frumpy, unstylish and like a completely different person. The collection I've designed for this kickstarter represents 3 dynamic and versatile looks all with zippers down the bust for discreet nursing access making it easier for women to fashionably integrate breastfeeding into their busy lives. Leche Libre is pushing back against these stereotypes, redefining what a Mom can look like and creating more space for women to be their authentic selves. Being able to wear clothing with a more edgy aesthetic was a key part in helping me regain my identity as an individual, and the functionality of the clothes I made allowed me to breastfeed more easily in public situations, making me a more confident Mom.

Whether a woman is working in the formal, non-formal or home setting, it is necessary that she is empowered in claiming her and her baby’s right to breastfeed. (We define work in its broadest form from paid employment, self-employment, seasonal and contract work to unpaid home and care work). Whether you're working out of the home or you are working at home as your family's primary child care provider, let us never debate: Whether you're struggling (and succeeding) in finding times and places within your work day to maintain an arduous pumping schedule or suffering from exhaustion and depression with no breaks in sight from your 24 hour nursing on demand schedule, its not easy.
