Talking Breastfeeding Shirts/Onesies!

I'm really excited! I just went by my friend's store to proof the shirts she's making for me....they are breastfeeding/lactivist shirts and onesies! I also had her make a design for a onesie that says, "Mommy's Doula 's Me!" to give to clients as a gift after their baby comes.
The other onesies day:
Boobie Monster
I'm a sucker for breastmilk
My Poop Doesn't Stink! (I'm breastfed!)

And the shirs for adults say:
Use 'em or Lose 'em!
(Breastfeed to reduce your risk!) (with the pink breast cancer ribbon)
Mommy's Diner...Open 24 hrs
Breastmilk...Always on Tap!
I Make milk...what's your super power?


Now, a lot of these I got the ideas from cafe press but didn't use anything that was copy righted (duh), and she did origional designs, too.

My question is: Where would you suggest putting these up for sale? eBay is obvious, but I don't know how much traffic I'll get. I could have hubby optimize a page for me my website with these shirts and my doula shirts, but, other than the doula market place here at , do you have any suggestions? There is great potential for these!

Thanks for your advice!
Ash

Maybe you could consign them at some local baby boutiques? Having a store on your website is a great idea too! Maybe you could give them as a gift to each of your doula clients too with business cards for them to give to their friends. Word of mouth is a really great tool. You could also send one to your local La Leche League leader and see if she might put them out at meetings.

Well, you're just full of it, aren't you?...Good ideas, that is!

Yeah, I'm giving the "My Mommy's Doula 's Me" onesies to clients as gifts, and I had considered the bfing shirts for mom, too with my logo on the back.
I really like the idea of consignment shops and the La leche League...that might be a hit. Hopefully the LC's I work with will by some!

Thank you!

Anyone else?
