Last month saw me host my first Breastfeeding Café, as a Medela Mum and Café ambassador for my city I’ll be hosting one of these each month through to October. It’s a great way for local mums or my fellow breastfeeding friends to get together, eat cake (that’s important) Drink tea and talk.
Since our feeding journey began, almost four months ago, their are a few items that have been essential to me for both nursing and bottle feeding with expressed milk. The following items are my current essentials that have helped us on our way.
It’s been 20 days since I officially became a mother and with that a member of what seems to be an elite club of people who spend their nights staring down into the eyes of tiny people who feed at all hours. In those moments sitting in the dimly lit night whilst your partner snores away next to you, when those big eyes are staring back at you and you feel nothing but love, you forget that you haven’t slept for three nights, you’re middle of the night snacks are just out of arms reach, baby is already feeding and you need the loo!
Last month I shared with you my initial thoughts on Bibee maternity & nursing dresses, my favourite thing about these dresses and tunics is not only that they can be used both during and after pregnancy but how versatile they are. With Bibee you have the ability to transform one key piece into an endless array of different looks!
Bibee dresses are designed to fit your ever changing body throughout pregnancy and I’ve found them to be the most comfortable items I’ve had so far, the best part is I don’t have to worry about them being of no use in 6 weeks time. This is perfect for myself as I do plan to breastfeed but hadn’t actually thought about the practicality of my clothing until now.
