Pilot episode: Anna van den Bogert

FOUNDING ARTIPOPPE

“Apart from being a proud mother, I also needed to still feel like me, the woman, the person that I am. Allowing space for the new me that was about to take shape while stepping into another season of motherhood.”

THE NEW MOTHERHOOD

“We live in a highly conventional era when it comes to motherhood.”

“I truly believe we the women have amazing instincts and we do not need parenting protocols or professionals when it comes to knowing what works best for our babies and ourselves.”

“To express yourself for who you truly are – a mother, a woman and so much more.”

“I would like to encourage women to trust themselves. To claim their space in society while keeping their baby close to their heart.”

BREASTFEEDING

“Society doesn’t always make it easy for us parents. A lot of mothers get a sort of social anxiety when a baby starts crying in public. Let alone when you decide to breastfeed while being out and about.”

“Through breastfeeding and skin-on-skin contact parents create a love hormone which allows you to bond with your child even deeper.”

“The way you mother, is your choice to make.”

“I don’t think there are set ways and rules when it comes to parenting. Every person is different. So is every baby. There is no right or wrong as long as you trust your own intuition.”

NATURE

“Working with nature instead of against it has always been at the core of Artipoppe when it comes to our product, our people, our philosophy.”

“I think we can learn a lot from indigenous communities and how to bridge their knowledge between motherhood and science that benefits the planet and therefore us.”
