A hands-free pumping bra isn't just a piece of fabric; it's a gift of time, freedom, and sanity for a new mother. Unlike a cute onesie or a soft blanket, this gift says, "I see you. I see the hard work you're doing, and I want to make your life just a little bit easier." It’s a profoundly practical and empathetic gift that acknowledges the real, unglamorous, and heroic work of feeding a new baby.
But what do you write in the card that accompanies such a functional gift? You want your message to be as supportive and thoughtful as the gift itself. It's an opportunity to offer encouragement, share a laugh, and remind her that she's more than just a milk-maker—she's a superhero. These simple wishes are designed to help you find the perfect words to honor her journey.
