Many mumpreneurs start their business because of a personal passion. Some solve a parenting problem and go on to share the solution with other mums and dads. This Breastfeeding Awareness Week I’ve drawn together profiles of mums who have created businesses to help women breastfeed. From breastfeeding dolls to t-shirts promoting breastfeeding, nursing necklaces to breastfeeding coverups, this week brings you a selection of businesses which show great ingenuity and a genuine desire to promote breastfeeding.
