Great Nursing and Maternity Wrap Cardigan

January 8, 2010

I am a huge fan of Victoria’s Secrets Soft & Sexy Wrap.  It’s not mar­keted for mater­nity and nurs­ing wear, but that’s what so spe­cial about it.  It’s a good wardrobe invest­ment that you can wear for years to come.  I’m 17 weeks preg­nant and it fits great and is cute, I expect I can […]

My Favorite Shops for Gifts

November 24, 2009

As the gift-giving sea­son approaches, I thought I’d list a cou­ple of my favorite sites for brows­ing for gifts, (apart from the var­i­ous Ama­zon coun­try sites, of course). The MoMA Store — This is the shop for the Museum of Mod­ern Art in NYC.  As you can imag­ine, the focus here is on design.  There […]

Victoria's Secret has nursing bras

April 25, 2009

While check­ing out the mas­sive dis­counts over at Victoria’s Secret right now (It seems sexy lin­gerie isn’t in high demand dur­ing a reces­sion), I noticed a cat­e­gory “Nurs­ing.”  I clicked it and low and behold, there were two nurs­ing bras: VS piped, full-coverage, under­wire, nurs­ing bra (avail­able in nude and black, both with white trim) VS nursing […]

Too wide waistbands? Make them fit!

March 18, 2009

Christina here, just wanted to wel­come Janda, the author of the guest post on con­vert­ing a reg­u­lar bra to a nurs­ing bra, to our writ­ing team. I have a tall tod­dler and she is skinny. When­ever I buy her trousers, I look for long ones first. Then, some­times I am lucky enough to find in some […]

How to make a regular bra into a nursing bra

February 7, 2009

Have you had dif­fi­culty find­ing a nurs­ing bra that fits or that fits into your bud­get? Here is a guest post from Janda, a friend of mine who is a seam­stress.  After being frus­trated with not find­ing a sin­gle nurs­ing bra that fit me well (I went through dozens and not all were return­able), I […]

Gourmandise, the sexiest nursing bra ever?

October 6, 2008

Gour­man­dise is a French lin­gerie com­pany that makes pos­si­bly the sex­i­est nurs­ing bras I’ve ever seen.  I have not been able to track down any infor­ma­tion on the com­pany, as appar­ently there are a lot of things described as “gour­man­dise” in French. For Eng­lish and French speak­ers, the ivory/praline ver­sion is sold by Mamanana.com, a […]

My Favorite Bibs

September 16, 2008

My sister-in-law turned me on to DEX Dura-Bibs.  The pocket at the bot­tom, cre­ated by putting together plas­tic snaps, is wide enough to catch almost any drib­ble or spill.  The bibs are soft but thick enough to stand up to lots of wip­ing and wash­ing, and the pocket eas­ily unsnaps so the whole thing lies […]

September 2, 2008

I, for one, can’t get enough Scan­di­na­vian design. I love the clean lines of the fur­ni­ture and the col­or­ful children’s cloth­ing designs. If I could afford it, I’d have Oliver decked out in a Scan­di­na­vian wardrobe. Yep, that’s right, the stuff is also a lit­tle bit more expen­sive. Also, when com­par­ing to the cloth­ing my […]

Review: Nursing Tops

August 6, 2008

Liv­ing in Ger­many means that I see a lot of nurs­ing moms who don’t bother with nurs­ing tops. I don’t quite have their body con­fi­dence or their quickly regained svelte fig­ures, so I pre­fer to keep my fat rolls under cover by wear­ing nurs­ing tops when I expect to be breast­feed­ing in pub­lic. The most […]
