Milkshirt Blog

Milkshirt.com had a booth at the Peddler Show in Fredericksburg, Texas at the end of November. The overall experience was great. Me, Gene and my wonderful inlaws met lots of nursing moms, pregnant moms and ladies who previously nursed their children. We also met several healthcare professionals who support breastfeeding. The expression we heard most frequently was “where were you when I was nursing?”

We are now offerring Over The Shoulder Baby Holders Slings. They were a hit with moms, dads and even pet owners at the Peddler Show. One mom purchased a sling when she arrived and promptly put her baby boy inside. He approved with a big smile.

I am posting a picture of our booth. The manequin, poster and name of our business caused quite a stir.  You’d think that we were displaying pornography. Gene moved the poster outside of the booth in order for people to view it with a bit of privacy. Men were blushing at the sight of the mannequin and teenage boys did double takes. We received some nasty looks from women and teenage girls. I guess a lot of people have negative feelings about breastfeeding. Luckily, Milkshirts keep moms covered and most people don’t realize when they are nursing. 

If we return to this show next year, we will have to consider camouflage Milkshirts and slings :) I have never seen so many civilians wearing camo in my life.
