20% off Mommy Steps and Form Insoles with the promo code FEET

You may have heard that pregnancy can cause your feet to grow. Studies that measure arch height and foot length and width show this is true. In one study, 61% of participants had a measurable increase in foot length, and 22% reported going up a shoe size. Mommy Steps have biomechanically designed support for your feet, preventing your arches from collapsing and your feet from going up a shoe size. Instead of asking whether your feet will grow, be proactive about protecting the structure and size of your feet by wearing Mommy Steps insoles.

The LactMed database is the best resource if you have any questions about taking medications and breastfeeding. The LactMed database contains information on drugs and other chemicals to which breastfeeding mothers may be exposed.

Suggested therapeutic alternatives to those drugs are provided where appropriate. All data are derived from the scientific literature and fully referenced. A peer review panel reviews the data to assure scientific validity and currency.
