About Petrina
Following the birth of her daughter in 2018, Petrina was inspired to set up Mama's Boobie Box as a result of her difficult start to breastfeeding.
Her main aim is to support breastfeeding mothers by supplying all of the practical essentials required for breastfeeding in one place, beautifully packaged in a gift box.
The idea has grown from one gift box to many gift boxes, gift sets, and breastfeeding products, carefully selected based on feedback from breastfeeding mothers.
Petrina has started creating and designing her own range of breastfeeding products, which include a Nursing Cover, Breast Vest and a Breastfeeding Journal.
Petrina is a mum of two and she documents her milestones regularly through her blog. It's full of great anecdotes, stories, and generally useful and practical information for any new or experienced mum.
Petrina is a regular contributor to local radio on Clare FM, Ireland and focuses on all things motherhood.
She also writes regularly for the online publication Boobingit.com, Mums and Tots magazine in Ireland and blogs for Hot Tea Mama in the UK.
She is a passionate supporter and advocate for breastfeeding mums, and she regularly talks about the importance of this through the businesses social media channels and her own Insta page, @thebreastfeedingmama.ie.
In 2024 Petrina also trained as post-natal doula to expand her knowledge of breastfeeding that enables her to support more mums in Ireland.

On Isobel’s due date my hubbie said to me if she came now I would be ready, and I replied I don’t think you can ever be ready.
Just like my labour the first few days were a whirlwind of confusion, excitement, and do we really have a baby???
Let customers speak for us
Bought one of the breast vests recently and it is such a game changer! I’m not shy about breastfeeding in public but it’s nice to be able to keep the tummy completely covered - especially in these cold months! I love that there’s no clips or fuss, makes feeding so much easier. This is such a great product and I would highly recommend it! ☺️
Quality is important to me always, and both the wrap and the vest are excellent quality. They wash perfectly and have made feeding so easy for me especially when I'm out and about. My order arrived superfast! It's fantastic to see an Irish business empowering and supporting women! Top marks all around ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Would not have been able to continue breastfeeding without these. Game changers!
Interesting title on the outside of the box for the postie too 🙈😂
I bought this as a Baby Shower gift. It's very good quality and a great idea with lots of uses. Mama's Boobie Box delivered very promptly and no charge for postage. Excellent
Excellent little device. More comfortable than a Hakka and fits into nursing bra
Thank you so much for the amazing gift that arrived today. You're too kind. I'll make great use out of all the bits and pieces in the box. Such a fabulous present.
Gorgeous journal, excited to fill mine in. Congrats Petrina 💖
A really lovely keepsake for both mum and baby. Every page has a quote that gets you thinking about your own experience and challenges. A really lovely way to commemorate and document your journey no matter how long for. A lovely gift to receive x
Bought this for my daughter, her second baby. Already, with baby not a week old, she's used some of the products. Baby had tongue tie so the pads were great for really sore nipples! Got a release yesterday so already feeding is easier.
I absolutely love the breastfeeding/nursing cover and its multifunctional features means I’m using it daily. I love popping it over the car seat when out and about as I can ensure baby is well covered up and especially for windy days I’m not worried about the wind getting into him. It’s also ideal when baby is napping as he can nod off in peace and not be distracted by lights or movement around him. I haven’t used it as a trolley cover yet but plan to once my baby is older. When breastfeeding in public it’s the ideal set up as you have lots of space to see your baby and make sure they are latching on ok without worrying about what’s going on around you and also it eliminates distractions for the baby while feeding too. I absolutely love this product and have recommended it to many friends. It’s the ideal gift for a new mum or mum to be as it’s multifunctional and also stylish.
Highly recommended it so handy and easy to wear under breastfeeding jumpers and any tops but you will keep yourself warm while feeding baby out and about
I found it so comfortable and very useful after having mastitis and I highly recommended it
I had met Petrina at a summer show last year and thought the concept of the gift boxes was amazing! I had a look at the other gift boxes (which are lovely) but wanted some extra bits added for my friend who had just had twins, so decided to make my own! The ordering process was so easy and quick, I received a call from Petrina to ask what I'd like to be written on the note in the box and it was posted immediately after that, delivered the next day! Such an efficient service and my friend was thrilled with her gift. Petrina is a pleasure to deal with and I would recommend Mamas Boobie Box to anyone looking for a thoughtful gift for a breastfeeding mama! ❤️
OMG!! These are a lifesaver for breastfeeding!! They're literally the reason why I carried on breastfeeding at the beginning and didn't give up due to painful cracked nipples!! They were better after a day of wearing these!! Magic!! Still feeding now at 7months old and going strong! 100% reccomend these! Thanks mamasboobiebox!! 😊
I found these breastpads brilliant! I had been using the disposable ones which were such a waste of money really as they were binned after every feed! These are so comfortable you wouldn't even know you had them on. They come in a handy little bag too so you just pop into the wash! So glad I got them. Would definitely reccomend and to get a couple of pairs so you have a pair when one is being washed!
