Breastfeeding Week: Babywearing and Breastfeeding
Nicole Christen in New Mommy Blogaholics, Product Reviews, Review Blogaholics - 2 comments - posted on Aug 5th, 2011With two active boys under the age of 5 and a newborn daughter, I would not be able to survive some days without a proper baby carrier.

Thus, I was delighted when given the opportunity … Continue reading

I actually found that I had more wardrobe options with my baby belly (I could now wear items that fit more snugly around the tummy area) and had fun adapting my clothes to my new … Continue reading

What is it? The Bravado Essential Nursing Bra Tank. bravadodesigns.com These nursing bra tank tops contain a real … Continue reading
