I can see this being a controversial pick, and to be honest I’m not 100% sure how I feel about it myself. This is a company that makes jewelry out of breastmilk that you send them, and my honest initial reaction to hearing that there’s a market for this was that I was weirded out. … Read More about Nursing/Postpartum Tuesday: Crowned Beauty Breastmilk Ring
Like many of my friends and acquaintances, I could probably write an essay about my breastfeeding “journey.” Even though I read a lot about it before having a baby, I think I still underestimated how much it could sometimes just plain HURT. Because I had supply issues right from the start, my baby stayed latched … Read More about Nursing/Postpartum Tuesday: Soothies Gel Nursing Pads
The other day at Target, I wound up in the maternity & infant section, where I hadn’t been in a while. I was intrigued to see that Target has lactation cookies for a much more affordable price than I paid for the very tasty Milkmakers cookies (also at Target) a thousand years ago. I thought I’d share these … Read More about Postpartum Tuesday: Lactation Cookies
This nursing camisole from Cake is getting rave reviews at Nordstrom. Yes, $55 may seem like a lot for an undergarment, but as every pumping and nursing mom knows, a nursing camisole is likely the primary thing you’ll wear on a daily basis to raise your neckline and give you enough coverage while you’re pumping … Read More about Nursing Tuesday: Toffee Nursing Camisole
Happy Monday! Did you guys know that Of Mercer has a maternity collection that’s all office-appropriate? A lot of the pregnant models are featured on the site wearing (and looking good in) dresses in straight sizes, but this one is only in maternity sizes. It comes in black and navy, and I like that there’s a … Read More about Maternity Monday: Brookfield Dress
Happy New Year, ladies! This cute “pumping in progress” sign could be great for the office, I think — it’s clear, easy to read, and will definitely be noticed on your office door — and it’s a great deal more attractive than the hand-written or typed-out “PUMPING IN PROGRESS” signs I’ve always seen taped on … Read More about Postpartum Tuesday: Pumping in Progress Sign
I’m always amazed when I come across something I bought several years ago that’s still in stock. I first got acquainted with this high/low jersey cardigan from Bobeau at when I was nursing my first son — I wanted something that was warm and soft and washable that had a little bit of color. It … Read More about Nursing Tuesday: High/Low Jersey Cardigan
Avert your eyes from the sneakers (though kind of good to know it will look cute on your commute?), and note that this lovely maternity dress ALSO has those clever Loyal Hana zippers for nursing access — so it’s good while you’re pregnant, as well as afterwards. I like the loose fit and the split … Read More about Nursing/Postpartum Tuesday: Riley Plaid Shirtdress
This really cute maternity dress has a slight high/low hemline and a nice little daisy print or rose print, depending on which pattern you choose. It has a V-neck with a hidden snap at the overlap panels for easy nursing, and there are on-seam pockets at the hips, hooray! So if you’re looking for something … Read More about Nursing Tuesday: Maternity Floral Midi Wrap Dress
We never needed slow flow bottles, just because the boys didn’t drink from bottles enough that acid reflux was something we really needed to think about (or maybe they just didn’t have a problem with it). But I’m always interested to see new products, and I know that moms can go though a million bottles … Read More about Nursing/Postpartum Tuesday: Slow Flow Bottles
A wrap top — either worn by itself or layered with your favorite nursing camisole — can be a great option for pumping and nursing moms. Easy access — and you can reclose it entirely after each nursing or pumping session, the fabric won’t get too loose. Nice! This pretty gray one is only $21 … Read More about Nursing & Pumping Tuesday: Wrap Tee
