Breastfeeding is not really the easiest choice, and sometimes the steps it takes to allow someone else to feed your child, or even if you just need a break and want to pump is daunting. There is the pump, the bottles, the bags, the cleaning supplies, and the bottles. All separate, and all make the whole pumping process a huge pain (if you ask me!). … [Read more...]

With your body constantly changing it is important to have a bra that can be worn all day and allow you to easily nurse your baby comfortably. The bras by bravado! Designs are made just for … [Read more...]

I have a nursing cover, but sometimes it's just to big and bulky to carry around in my already full diaper bag. For times like that it's nice to have something small and versatile … [Read more...]

I pump a lot and thanks to Simple Wishes Hands Free Pumping Bustier ($36), I can actually can get a little me time while I pump (providing it's quiet where I'm pumping). I can also spend time with my kids, or even do the dishes.. while I pump (though it's not as fun as the me time). I like that it was really easy to use. You fit the bustier to your … [Read more...]
