Be a Mother - In Style!


I have completely fallen head over heals in love with the organic nursing wear from Mothers En Vogue! After having two babies back-to-back (14 months apart), I am really self-conscious about my body. I have about 20 more pounds to lose to get my pre-pregnancy figure back (yikes!).

Mothers En Vogue's Organic Collection actually makes me feel VERY sexy. Yes, I said it. SEXY! From the amazing fabric to the wonderful fit, their apparel hides my (umm... somewhat) soft, bumpy body allowing me to feel very comfortable in my own skin. Each top that I wore has two layers of fabric over the stomach area which covers my not so flat tummy. I got so many compliments when I went out in public the other day that I want to wear nothing but Mothers En Vogue clothing!

Another great aspect of their nursing wear is that breastfeeding is a breeze. With the double layer of fabric in front, my stomach is not exposed to the world. Hallelujah! I don't want people looking at my tummy let alone the stretch marks, and I am almost positive that people don't want to see that area either!

So Mothers En Vogue makes me feel like a super model, and hides my stomach and chest while breastfeeding. Could it get any better than that? Yes, it can! The Organic / Eco Collection is made from organic cotton - meaning that the fabric of these garments are grown and produced in a way where there is little exposure to toxic chemicals that pollute the earth. Buying organic clothing is healthy for you, your children, and our earth!

Check out all of the Mothers En Vogue apparel at www.mothersenvogue.com. They have so many wonderful clothing lines to choose from whether you are a woman, a mother, or a breastfeeding mommy. Make yourself feel SEXY today!!!




Nursing Shawl That Does It All!


I am all about getting the bang for your buck. When I can get something that has more than one use, I jump all over it! This is what you get when you buy a L'ovedbaby Nursing Shawl.

As you can imagine, the L'ovedbaby Nursing Shawl is wonderful for nursing. But it is also great for a baby blanket, a stroller cover, a carrier cover, a maternity cover, and whatever else you can think of. Now that is what I call getting the bang for your buck, especially for only $29.95.

I am quite fond of these nursing shawls because they are extremely soft to the touch which makes me want to wear it all day long. Plus, the design on each of the covers is very neat looking.

Each of the covers is one size fits all. Therefore, they make great gifts for moms-to-be or any mother for that matter.

The L'ovedbaby Nursing Shawl is very comfortable to wear, and covers all areas that need to be covered while nursing. The wide opening at the top makes it easy to see your little one.

One of my favorite aspects of these shawls is that they can be folded up into the matching drawstring bag to fit perfectly in a diaper bag, purse, gym bag, etc. Less space taken up in my already full diaper bag makes me a happy mommy!

Momzelle


I love to be really comfortable while looking great. Momzelle helps me feel this way! Momzelle is a Canadian company that makes cute nursing wear that is super comfy. I can wear their clothes at home or in public, and know that I look awesome.

Momzelle has all kinds of garments from nursing tanks to long sleeve nursing tops. You can choose from a wide range of colors from pretty purple to vibrant blue. I really like that the black and khaki colors are made from 92 % organic cotton!

Nursing in Momzelle's clothes is easy as 1, 2, 3. Just lift one side of the top, place baby in position, and begin breastfeeding. You discreetly nurse while looking fabulous!

When breastfeeding has ran it's course for your little one, you can still wear Momzelle's nursing tops because they don't look like nursing tops. You can jazz up one of their tees by adding necklaces and layering peices, or just wear as is for a casual and comfy look.

Check out Momzelle's fashionable nursing wear at www.Momzelle.com. Their clothing make great gifts for nursing moms or moms-to-be. $45 and up for adorable nursing wear that can be worn indefinitely is a great investment in your wardrobe!




Function Full Of Fashion


When I think of nursing clothes, most of the time I think of the words "frumpy" and "not flattering". However, when I came across Boob Nursing Wear, I thought "funky" and "functional".

They have so many different tops and dresses to choose from in all kinds of pretty colors and designs. Consider this - I feel like I look amazing when I put on any garments within the clothing line. Having a baby less than one month ago, this is almost impossible! I look great!

Each garment is made from high quality fabric. High quality fabric combined with high quality design creates fabulous clothes that look and feel good. I love that most of the nursing tops are longer than most shirts because they make great layering pieces throughout nursing and beyond. Plus, I am a woman of curves. When I find clothing that covers my insecure areas, I jump all over it!

Not only is Boob Nursing Wear flattering, but it also makes breastfeeding in public so easy. Forget a nursing shawl or nursing cover! All you need is a fun and fashionable Boob Nursing top or dress.

Boob Nursing Wear has two layers of fabric over the bust area. Just pull up one side of the shirt or dress with one hand, hold your little one with the other, and voila - discreet nursing. No one sees anything except your baby!

I love that Boob goes by the OEKO-Tex Standard 100 when it comes to preparing and dying it's clothes. This Standard makes sure that the clothes are made in a way that is environmentally safe and completely free of toxins. I don't know about you, but I want clothes that are safe for me and my environment!

Eco-Friendly Is Breast


I am all about saving money, especially these days. So when I can reuse something, I get really excited. When it comes to nursing pads, I choose to use reusable nursing pads made from cotton. This is because they are so much more softer than the plastic chemical-filled breastfeeding pads and way less expensive.

Lullaby Loft makes extremely soft and comfortable nursing pads. The outer most layer is made of 100 % cotton flannel, and the inner most layer is made from 100 % organic cotton batting. Cotton is great because unlike the disposable nursing pads, your skin can breathe. This greatly reduces the risk of infections which I am totally in favor of!

Lullaby Loft makes each pad 5 inches in diameter which is the perfect size for most nursing bras. I love that these pads do not hurt your skin when you pull them away. Disposable nursing pads always tore me a part which makes breastfeeding a pain.

You can't beat $5.00 for a pack of two! When you purchase Lullaby Loft's nursing pads, you can rest assured that you are saving money, doing good for your body, as well as being kind to the earth. Visit www.lullabyloft.etsy.com to get your pads today. Don't forget to check out all of their other great products too!

Organic Breastfeeding


Hosted by RockYouPhotos.com

Breastfeeding in public used to be such a chore for me. This is partly because the only thing that I had to cover up with was a few bulky baby blankets. First of all, it is very difficult to keep a small baby blanket over your shoulder while trying to see your little one underneath. Second of all, I felt as if my baby could not breath very well.

Just recently I found the most beautiful certified organic cotton nursing covers from Rogelito's Closet. These nursing covers are great because they are the perfect size to cover you and your precious baby. Plus, they are easy to use with an adjustable velcro strap.

Hosted by RockYouPhotos.com

Each nursing cover from Rogelito's Closet is made from organic cotton grown in India. Also, all of the nursing covers have Harmony Arts fabric which means the patterns have eco-friendly water base dyes and pigments.

I love that these nursing covers have rigilene boning in the neckline! It definitely makes breastfeeding in public very easy because you do not have to constantly pick up the fabric to see your baby. The fabric just naturally sits away from your body to where you can peek in from time to time.

Hosted by RockYouPhotos.com

Not only does Rogelito's Closet carry fantastic organic nursing covers, but they also carry organic baby blankets, organic burp cloths, and super adorable organic toddler skirts. Make sure to visit Rogelito's Closet at www.rogelitoscloset.com or www.rogelitoscloset.etsy.com to see all of their amazing products.


Breastfeeding Made Easy


I don't know about you, but I used to find breastfeeding quite a hassle while out in public. I would have to pull out a blanket from the diaper bag, place it over my shoulder while pulling down my shirt, and somehow find a way to stick my darling underneath the blanket without the blanket falling down and exposing my goods. Plus, I hated putting my baby under a blanket where she probably could not breathe all that well! If you are like me and dread going out in public because you will probably have to breastfeed at some point, then I have the most wonderful solution ever. It is called the Slurp and Burp.

The Slurp and Burp is layered cotton material that looks like a sash. All you do is place it over one shoulder and under the other shoulder, separate the layer of cotton, place your baby's mouth where the layers separate, and voila! You are breastfeeding without covering up your precious baby while keeping all your goods where the sun does not shine.

I seriously believe that the Slurp and Burp is the greatest invention known to man. It's very easy to carry in your purse or diaper bag. You can feed your baby, burp your baby, and feed your baby once again in public without having to worry about showing off anything to anyone.

The Slurp and Burp comes in all kinds of fun and funky designs as well as organic. You can purchase one of two options - the Slurp and Burp with a sewn in burp cloth or the Slurp and Burp with the detachable burp cloth.

Visit www.SlurpBurp.com to see this great invention. It is well worth the investment for your baby's comfort and your privacy while doing what's natural out in public!




Amazing Muslin


Photobucket

The Australian muslin swaddling blankets from aden + anais are amazing. These blankets are woven from soft natural muslin fibers that are light weight and allows air to easily flow through them; therefore, you can swaddle your little one with this blanket and know that they will not overheat. In fact, these blankets will help your infant regulate his / her body temperature - great for summer or winter! When I swaddle my little one with a standard receiving blanket, she wakes up from naps soaked in sweat. When I wrap her in the muslin wraps, she wakes up perfectly warm and natural.




I love the fact that aden + anais purposefully created these muslin wraps at 47" by 47". If you purchase a normal flannel receiving blanket and try to swaddle your baby, they usually just kick right out of them because they are so small. My daughter can get out of one within seconds. When I swaddle her in one of aden + anais's muslin blankets, she can't move!




Not only are the muslin blankets great for swaddling infants, but they can also be used as a stroller cover to protect from the sun and / or insects, as a nursing cover, as an outside blanket, a toddler blanket, a tummy-time mat, a burp cloth, a changing pad cover, or a play pen blanket. These muslin blankets are so versatile that it is like you are buying multiple blankets in one! At $44.00 for four muslin wraps, you are definitely getting a great deal.




aden + anais also produces soft muslin wash cloths, muslin sleeping bags, and 100 % GOTS certified organic swaddling wraps. You can rest assured that the products from aden + anais are all natural. Both the organic and non-organic products have the formalin taken out of the packing, plus they use color safe dyes.
I also want to highlight that the muslin blankets are packaged in water-resistant bags that can be reused for other uses!




So, for the perfect versatile muslin blanket, go to www.adenandanais.com!
