Mama's Got a Brand New Babe, Bamboobies Review/Giveaway

             Mama's Got a Brand New Babe

    I want to start by congratulating you on either your pregnancy or your new little blessing, either way I am so glad you found me and our giveaway event! You will be able to read several reviews on products that are wonderful to have right after baby. Then you can enter to win all of these amazing products, with that being said here goes...

     Bamboobies, is that not the cutest name for nursing pads :-)
Nursing is something that I hold so dear to my heart. There is nothing like the precious time you get with your baby, then when you are nursing her/him. Unfortunately, if you are like most of us nursing moms you need some protection. I do not produce an over abundance amount of milk, however I do leak while I am nursing (the other side of course) and in between nursings sometimes. So nursing pads are a must!
  Most of you know, my family tries to  live as green as we can. Therefore not only would we be wasting money (in my opinion) if I bought disposable nursing pads, but I also would be adding more trash, where there need not be. So I love that Bamboobies are washable and reusable. Bamboobies are Non-Toxic and Eco-Friendly , and they are made with organic cotton, yay! I feel like one of those infomercials, but wait there's more...Bamboobies are handmade in the U.S.A. by a small MOM-owned company, again yay!                                                   
                                          
 Bamboobies are ultra thin. So no more circular bulges in your shirts, drawing attention to your breasts, that always bothered me so much. Bamboobies are also milk proof, so no need to worry about dripping and someone pointing out the fact your are wet on your breasts, again less attention. And I have to admit, I have never felt such a soft nursing pad before, the soft velour is certainly an added plus in my book.
Check out how cute these Bamboobies nursing pads are
Yes that is a heart, how cute, right :-)
  Bamboobies are now offering overnight nursing pads as well. The Overnights are just as soft and lovely, only they are thicker, for you blessed mama's who's babies sleep more than an hour or two at a time.
No mama, the Overnight Bamboobies are not in the shape of a heart, but we still love them! They work amazingly!
 Just so you kow, Bamboobies are now offering Nursing Shaws (you can wear during and after pregnancy) and a Nipple Balm, and a Set of Therapy Pillows. Bamboobies was so gracious as to offer my readers 20% off their orders with this code SIPPY20

Mama's Got a Brand New Babe Majama's Nursing Bra Review

                              Mama's Got a Brand New Babe
  I want to start by congratulating you on either your pregnancy or your new little blessing, either way I am so glad you found me and our giveaway event! You will be able to read several reviews on products that are wonderful to have right after baby. Then you can enter to win all of these amazing products, with that being said here goes...
  Nursing is one of the few things I know is not an option and something I look forward to with each of my pregnancies. It is such a wonderful experience to bless my child with my milk. Being a green kind of mama, I am also saving a lot of money, and I know that she/he will be getting whats best for her and what God intended her/him to have. It is such a wonderful bonding experience as well.
 Majama's, has made nursing so much easier with their nursing products, from nursing bra's, to nursing cami's to their cozy dresses! Their nursing products are cute and affordable. Majama's tops and dresses are items that you would want to continue to wear long after you are no longer nursing, they are that cute. Did I mention they are 100% made in the U.S.A. Yay for Majama's
 A necessity for me, is certainly nursing bra's. With my first, I tried to nurse in regular bra's, however this not only was uncomfortable, but just about impossible. So I started shopping around for nursing bra's. Many babies later I was so thankful I was able to find Majama's.
 Majama's was gracious enough to send me an Organic Sporty Bra in royal blue (removeable padding) . Majama's let me choose my style and color. I have had other brands of sporty styled bra's and I will be honest, I couldn't stand them. Either they were way to tight on me (even if I ordered a size up) or else if they were the criss cross my breasts (not large by any means) would practically fall out of one side. So I thought, what better way to truly put Majama's to the test then trying a Sporty Bra.
Majama's sent me this Organic Sporty Bra, and they also included a mesh laundry bag (which they do on every order if you order direct from Majama's website rather then another retailer)
 
So after washing, I was excited to give this sporty bra a try. I have to say, I was extremely impressed! I wore it all day, and the next. Not only is it very easy to pull aside to nurse in, when you are not nursing, the Majama's sporty bra stays in place, no slipping out! WooHoo. Also I ordered the correct size, no sizing up needed with Majama's. Even after a full day, my chest (below my breasts) was not sore at all, I had not felt like it was to tight at all. It was completely comfortable.  Now typically, even with my regular bra's by the end of the night, I notice the straps are tight on my shoulders. However with Majama's Sporty Bra again, no tightness at all, no lines, no soreness, no slipping, just absolute comfort and ease with stability as well. You do have the obvious downside of every sports bra, the straps often peeking out of your top, that being said. I have been so extremely satisfied with this bra, I would have to say, it is my favorite bra I have ever had, probably in my entire life. Nursing or not! This nursing mama of 8 highly recommends Majama's!
Majama's has so graciously offered a discount code to all of my readers

Mama's Got a Brand New Babe Vespa & The Ladybird Belly Wrap Review

            Mama's Got a Brand New Babe
I want to start by congratulating you on either your pregnancy or your new little blessing, either way I am so glad you found me and our giveaway event! You will be able to read several reviews on products that are wonderful to have right after baby. Then you can enter to win all of these amazing products, with that being said here goes...
  So most of us mama's know that after we have a baby it is so hard to get our tummy back to being flat, if not nearly impossible. A friend asked me what I thought about Post Pregnancy Belly Wraps. To be honest I didn't know much about them, so I went on a mission to find out all about them. On my quest I met an amazingly kind woman named Kim, from Vespa & The Ladybird, who has a real heart for women. I knew instantly, not just from the other positive reviews on Vespa & The Ladybird, but from Kim herself, that Vespa & The Ladybird was the Belly Wrap I had to have!
   
 Many Midwives and Dr.s alike would recommend a Belly Wrap, and you really can't get any better then Vespa & The Ladybird. They have several different sizes,  2 colors to choose from (nude or black) and you can choose a classic belly wrap  or a plush belly wrap.
 Wearing a post pregnancy belly wrap can help your recovery in several ways. It helps your uterus back into place, it helps tighten your abdominal muscles, it help with posture and helps support your low back. You can take advantage of a belly wrap whether you birth naturally or have a C-Section, in which case the Vespa & The Ladybird can assist in muscle separation.

 I put my Vespa & The Ladybird Plush Belly Wrap on 24 hours after delivery. I immediately noticed how  it actually made my tummy feel better then it had been feeling, a surprise benefit. Within a few days, my children were commenting on how skinny (now I wouldn't have used that word ;-) but they did) and I noticed how flat my tummy looked, even after taking the wrap off at bedtime. Now this is not my first baby, and I have struggled with a "poofy" belly with several of the kids. I only wish I would have had a Vespa & The Ladybird Belly Wrap with each one of them. It is working so well it has only been 18 days and I have my belly wrap on as snug as it will go. I am going to have to purchase a smaller one!
  
                  My tummy less then a week after giving birth. This picture does not give the improvements justice.

Within just a few days I was back in my pre-pregnancy clothing, even panties! I was amazed. I will never go without my Vespa & The Ladybird Belly Wrap ever again. I highly recommend having on to each and every mama & mama to be!

Mama's Got A Brand New Babe Glamourmom Review/Giveaway

      Mama's Got a Brand New Babe

    I want to start by congratulating you on either your pregnancy or your new little blessing, either way I am so glad you found me and our giveaway event!

 Glamourmom is one of those companies that makes a product that is not only wanted but needed. Glamourmom, was started by a mom, looking for something to allow her to nurse, yet be supported (built in full support bra) and cover up her postpartum tummy (thanks for that)


I love the colors and prints that are available, and they stay true after several washes.

Glamourmom Tanks even have enough stretch in them, for me to wear my Glamourmom tank at 36 weeks pregnant! Yet never stay stretched out of place.

 
Glamourmom's tanks have discrete nursing openings, that make nursing a breeze (clothing wise). The strap stays put and you just unsnap and flip down, no pulling your top all the way, or your top all the way off. With a bra built right in, this is all you need. You can wear a Glamourmom tank by itself, or under another top or sweater, either way Glamourmom works out great.
Glamourmom not only carries nursing tanks, but they carry nursing bra's, long tanks, non nursing tanks and pj pants, nursing tops and nursing dresses.

Mama's Got A Brand New Babe Balboa Nursing Cover Review/Giveaway

Years ago, with my first couple of nursing little ones, I was so uncomfortable nursing around anyone, whether it was at home or out in public. I had problems with latch, pretty much with all my children, so I had to see what I was doing. I would go so far as to sitting out in a hot car, or sitting on the toilet in a public restroom-YUCK! No new mother should experience such embaressements.
Balboa Baby has a wonderful nursing cover that eliviates such embaressements, and lets a seasoned mother as well as the new mother nurse her baby anywhere comfortably. If only had I had known...
 
With Balboa Baby, you can not only comfortably nurse out in public (or at home for extra modesty) but you can see what your doing, due to the reinforced neckline, that holds the fabric away from baby, so mama can peek in, or baby can see mama's face. it is plenty large enough to cover all of mama, without the fear of showing belly or sides. Also it stays put. I have had much smaller nursing covers that baby just kicks once or moves an arm and out she comes, exposing all of me. I love that Balboa Baby lets me nurse with confidence, that that will not happen, especially in church -eek! An extra little add on I have never seen before is the pocket. It is the perfect size to place a nursing pad (must for me) in to hold still, so that it doesn't slip out and fall on the floor, or in front of everyone. This was so brilliant of Balboa Baby to add this. I love love love it. I know my nursing pad is secure and staying clean.
 I have seen far to many mama's covering up with a thick fleecy or heavy blanket as well. They remove the blanket and baby and mama are all sweaty-ugh. This can not provide a very nice experience. With Balba Baby's nursing cover, you can breath, baby can breath and not be all sweaty and icky. This is very important to me.

Mama's Got a Brand New Babe Momzelle Review

You will be able to read several reviews on products that are wonderful to have right after baby. Then you can enter to win all of these amazing products, with that being said here goes...
   Nursing is a wonderful, blessed gift that is given to both mama and baby. I treasure my time while nursing. The bonding created during nursing is heaven sent. However not everything is as easy as we would like when it comes to nursing. Such as how to nurse (esp. a newborn) and still be modest, and not have to expose your top half to the world. Whether it is exposing my entire breast, or my flabby tummy, I feel uncomfortable doing either. This is where nursing tops/shirts come into play.
  Momzelle is a great company offering nursing apparel for the modern mama all over the world. I found Momzelle to have several different styles, from tops to tanks, to long sleeves, to dresses. They also carry nursing bands. Which you can add to your favorite every day top, and turn it into a nursing top-love this! They are evening carrying several maternity tops as well.
  I love the saying "I make milk, whats your super power" After all, I am continuing to provide life "food" for my little one, seems pretty super to me :-) So when I saw Momzelle carried a nursing top with the phrase, I had to have it!
   
I found the nursing top to be extremely comfortable. I was flattering around the waist. I was very easy to nurse the baby with the classic opening. You just pull the flap up and there are 2 slits, one on each side.
 
This very well made, very comfortable Momzelle T is fast becoming my favorite top!

Serephine Maternity Review

  Over the years, I have tried many different brands of maternity clothing. Many of which I was not happy with, either due to prices and the sizing issues or just the fact that they were out right boring, and not flattering. That all changed when I heard of a Maternity Clothing Company called Serephine Maternity!
  Serephine Maternity not only is well priced, flattering, up to date with fashion trends and right on for sizing. More and more celebrities are choosing Serephine Maternity for their pregnancy needs as well! My style tends to be one of my own, I'd like to say a little boho chic is what I gravitate to but on certain days I do like to change it up a bit. Serephine Maternity is perfect for ALL of your maternity wear needs. Serephine Maternity carries everything from dresses, to jeans, to special occasion dresses (their Luxe Collection) to lingerie, pantyhose and even nursing wear-Yay!
                                                     Serephine Maternity
  
I may not look like the model in my maxi dress, but it certainly makes me feel like I am looking good :-)

I Love Serephine Maternity's variety of styles. I was sent this amazing Blue Printed Maxi Dress (worn by actress Alyson Hannigan) and it has become my favorite Maternity item in my closet! I was a little worried, ordering from such a stylish brand, that their clothing might be sized smaller, but it is not. I am right on target. I have had several compliments in this dress. My teen & preteen daughters looked through the catalog and commented, that "Serephine has better clothes then non pregnancy clothes, and it's not fair" I thought that was cute. Serephine Maternity is not only stylish, but flattering on the pregnant mama's body and it is so comfortable. I thought it was a little thin at first, however this is a dress that can be worn all year long, with a jacket or a tank or just alone.
   

   I chose to wear my Serephine Maternity maxi dress to my Baby Celebration, when me and my dear friend were celebrating our pregnancies.
  This is a maxi dress that keeps giving, not only is it maternity, but it is also nursing wear as well.
   
The straps are elastic and stretchy, they easily pull over or down to nurse baby. I love the fact that you can get so much use out of Serephine Maternity. Several of Serephine's tops or dresses can be worn while pregnant and or nursing. 
  When looking for Maternity Clothing, and or Nursing Wear, look no further
       SEREPHINE MATERNITY has all of your maternity and nursing wear needs.
