BreastPump Mama, a Woman-Owned Small Company, Thanks Sarah Palin and Daughter with Baby Gifts

Tucson, Arizona - BreastPump Mama, a woman-owned small company, earlier this month sent baby gifts of a VersaPed® foot-powered breast pump each, to vice presidential candidate Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska, who recently had a baby, and to Mrs. Palin's daughter, who is expecting a baby soon. In the letter which accompanied the gift to Mrs. Palin, BreastPump Mama wrote:

[BreastPump Mama] would like to thank you for having the audacity to demonstrate the belief that breastfeeding is so important to the health and development of our children, that it is not out of place anywhere in society, public or private, even in the highest halls of state and federal government. Because our children are not always comfortable in our places of work, you have charmed so many of us with your stated willingness to "put down the blackberry and pick up a breast pump," just as countless other mothers across America do every day. It is wonderful that you do not regard your children as an obstacle to your work, but rather as along for the ride to watch and learn as you serve the people of Alaska and the United States.

Please accept the enclosed gift of a lightweight VersaPed® foot-powered breast pump from [this] small up-and-coming company, a product which was inspired by [the company owner's] own children, in order to make the lives of working breastfeeding mothers easier. The pedal is designed to adapt to the collection kit of any brand of table-top electric breast pump that you might already be using, and in this way can be used as a travel accessory when there are no outlets or battery chargers available. In fact, when your breast pumping days are behind you, the VersaPed® pedal, with the hoses removed, has even been used as a leg exerciser on long flights, which, as your career unfolds before you, are a distinct possibility.

Thank you again for your contributions to legitimizing breastfeeding anywhere in society, and of using breast pumps in the work place for the welfare of our children, who are our future.

The letter to younger Ms. Palin wished her all possible joys of motherhood.
