As we continue to celebrate #worldbreastfeedingweek we remain focused on the goals of sustainability. We use ethically sourced material and our high quality material and craftsmanship means our suits will last long after your breastfeeding journey ends. Fast fashion is harmful to our environment and we also believe our mamas deserve nothing but the best. The more supported and empowered women are this longer their breastfeeding journey will last on their terms and that’s something we should all strive for. #normalizebreastfeeding #breastfeedingawareness

This is why we are hosting our event on August 23rd. To help break this cycle. Our artist Omari Maynard's partner was a victim of this crisis 10 months ago and has turned his art into advocacy. You won't want to miss hearing his story and see the debuting of his painting. The Brooklyn Perinatal Network has been imbedded in the community for 30 years creating initiatives to combat this crisis on a local level. You won't want to miss hearing about their approach and how you ca...n get involved. Join us for an evening of education and empowerment. We are all in this together and together we can save Black Mama's lives.

Continuing with our Breastfeeding Awarness Month celebration, we created a little something for those that support the lactating community. Introducting a portable, reusable, and fully functioning lactating breast!! Teaching important breastfeeding skills like hand expression has been challenging for the lack of tools which truly reflect the functionality of breastfeeding. We wanted to change that and we did thanks to new innovative technology and the help of the Lazarus 3D t...eam. Please note that this available in two different skin tones (for now) and is eligible for AfterPay through our site which will allow you to break the payments into 4 zero interest installments. It is important to us that we didn't sacrifice quality or functionality but we want it to be accessible. Shop today: https://orolait.myshopify.com/collectio/breastfeeding-tools

Breastfeeding families rejoice. We invented a little something to take teaching breastfeeding/hand expressions skills to a whole other level! Innovation is just an idea and collaboration away. Thanks to the Lazarus 3D for their patience and dedication to seeing this dream become a reality.

Innovation in the breastfeeding space is long overdue and we are so proud that our Founder/CEO is constantly looking for and creating ways to better the lives of breastfeeding individuals and those that support them.

HAPPY MONDAY! We're back with another story from a first time mama Reena and her public breastfeeding experience. " I think like many other women I was a bit nervous about nursing on a public beach, and I certainly don’t have the same body as before pregnancy. I think the swimsuit’s opening helps keep it discreet enough that I can avoid the annoying nursing cover, which is a plus when you have a wiggly baby. The shape of the suit is one that I think would flatter most people, and I would happily wear it even after I’m done nursing!" We are honored to be a part of your first public beach breastfeeding experience Reena and wish you many more empowering experiences in the future.

Dear Orolait Family, I know I have been noticeably absent. I like many others had to make decisions during the pandemic that were best for our families even if not for our businesses. I have been blessed to have the support of my family and have been able continuously, quietly, and cautiously worked on Orolait. I am beyond excited to announce that we have persevered and will be launching a limited line of our suits in different colors, pattens, and prints AND a must have cove...r up/dress AND the Rogue is BACK!! On International Women’s Day I want to honor all of you who have made this journey possible for me. Many thanks to the Houston Mamas who showed up for this photoshoot although I was a complete stranger but changed my life forever. Most importantly, for giving me the visual of what the world I want to help create can and will look like. Women of different shapes, shades, and sizes breastfeeding on their own terms. While feeling supported, honored, and cherished. More details will be rolling out soon but thank you from the bottom of my heart for sticking around. xoxo, Ana Carolina Rojas Bastidas Orolait Founder/CEO
