Lactivist knit caps ROCK!

In the interest of transparency – I stumbled across this Etsy store and until I asked knitschmidt if it was OK to share her hat here she had no idea I even existed! *laughing* I have received no compensation (except permission to use the image from her Etsy store).

I was puttering around in Etsy looking at all the cool breastfeeding items and I came across this adorable little knit cap by knitschmidt.  Every time I look at this cap I smile! This is lactivism at it’s most fun in my opinion. A saucy little cap perched on a nursing babies head! Can you imagine? What DELICIOUS possibilities with every double-take! *GRIN*

The Cotton Nippin’ Little Nipper

(from her description) Introducing…The Original La Leche Lid Little Nipper. A 100% silky soft cotton baby cap. Pop it on baby at feeding time to keep that noggin warm and let it all hang out. After lunch, it’s simply a cozy fashion statement. Warm enough for colder climates, light enough to take off the chill in air conditioned spaces without overheating baby. A neutral beige “breast” is topped off with a rosy pink “nipple” ~ other sizes and skin tones available upon request! Knitted in the round for a completely seamless finish. Sized to fit the tiniest newborn.

There are a variety of other whimsical caps and hats there so have a look at those too. There are some that make me wish Echo and Harper aren’t quite so old and opinionated about what they like to wear.

This post is purely for fun (and so I’ll have a quick and easy place to point friends to). There are a bunch of YouTube videos of clips from Sesame Street that discuss breastfeeding. They are neat little bits of advocacy aimed at kids.

Hey! Some of these are also instructive for those who motor on at the mouth with their version of “What about the kiddies? How will we explain the breast and the baaaa-by??” How about by channeling Buffy!

Most of all they are just cool!

So without further a-do ENJOY!
