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 […]

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 plunge bra […]

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 asked […]

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 French site […]

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 […]

NordicKids.co.uk

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 […]

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 readily […]
