This may seem a bit of an odd one, but bear with me. I have a bit of a soft spot for ARDO as when Belle was born, (and they were called something else), we lived about two minutes walk from their head offices in Taunton and I was always popping in for much needed nipple cream.
Ah, the stories I could tell you about my cracked nipples.
When Belle was a few months old and the cracks were healing nicely, I started training as a breastfeeding counsellor, and breastfeeding became a big part of my live for a long time. I won’t bore you with the details, but you can read a bit more of my story over on the ARDO blog if you feel so inclined.
I was absolutely thrilled to be able to help ARDO by hosting this competition for them and I really hope that even if the prize isn’t relevant for you, that you will show your support for the boob by sharing this post and telling all your pregnant or new mummy friends.
In 2010, ARDO launched a totally new range of breastfeeding products including manual and electric breastpumps. All products in this range have been designed with the involvement of International Lactation Consultants, healthcare professionals and by consulting with groups of breastfeeding mums. ARDO are very proud of their ethical trading policy and strict adherence to the WHO Code on Breastfeeding; we are the only UK supplier of breastfeeding products to do so.
Enough of me waffling, here’s what you can win:
To enter, all you have to do is show your support from ARDO where you can. You will get an entry for each of the following:
- Like ARDO on Facebook
- Follow ARDO on Twitter
- Tweet the following – ‘I’d like to win an electric breastpump from @ardobreastpumps and @mummyblogger http://ht.ly/kPIOC’
Just leave me a comment to tell me which you’ve done.
Good luck!
The competition will close on 31st May 2013 and full T&C can be found here.
