PHILADELPHIA, July 16 /PRNewswire/ -- With gas prices soaring,
Motherhood(R) Moms say they have yet another reason to breastfeed -- saving
money. In the spirit of World Breastfeeding Week, August 1-7, Motherhood(R)
Maternity surveyed its customers to hear from Motherhood Moms their reasons
for breastfeeding, feelings on nursing in public, pumping at work and, most
importantly, advice for other moms. With over 10,000 respondents, the
results were compelling. While the vast majority (94.5%) agree that the
baby's health is the "most important" reason to breastfeed, over a third
(34.7%) of Motherhood Moms said that saving money was a "pretty important"
factor in their decision. Just about half (47.6%) of Motherhood Moms also
pump at work to keep costs down. Visit http://www.motherhood.com and
http://www.destinationmaternity.com starting August 1st for additional survey
results and words of advice from nursing moms.

"Throughout the year we promote that breastfeeding is best," said
Rebecca Matthias, President and Chief Creative Officer. "We know that
benefits like reducing the risk of childhood illnesses, boosting IQ, a
reduced risk of breast and ovarian cancers, not to mention the strong
emotional bond, are vitally important to Mom and Baby. Today's difficult
economic conditions are just one more reason to nurse your baby."
In Motherhood Maternity stores throughout the entire month of August,
the celebration of breastfeeding continues. Customers can schedule a custom
bra-fitting appointment with a fit specialist, and discover all the nursing
must-haves in the special accessories display. As always, women are welcome
to breastfeed in-store as well.
