Milkbug

What a day – it was great to have a stall for our nursing clothes at the barn hotel. It was a great chance to show off our Milkbug range of breastfeeding clothes, the best bit must have been all the mums we met that had set up their own businesses – such as cake making and special gifts for mother and baby.

We met so many mums who are expecting who loved our nursing clothes and tops and it was interesting to hear all of their experiences and feelings towards breastfeeding. Most were worried that they wouldnt be able to feed for some reason, but having been in that boat myself the best advice I could give is that ‘ask ask ask for help from midwives and support workers’ dont be shy.

Our sailor knot breastfeeding top did really well today and the Coral Taara nursing dress also did good as mums loved the colour for summer – the best compliment we had were the comments on the material – all mums loved the softness of the material and also how it would feel against their newborns skin.

All in all a great day for Milkbug – our breastfeeding clothes got a viewing and we met some great mums to be and also mumprenuers!

Finding good breastfeeding clothes can be hard, and what’s even more difficult is buying the right size given that your body has changed considerably after giving birth.
We know our mums love our clothes so we are offering mums that live in Hillingdon or Harrow the opportunity to come to our offices and try on our clothes and see what fits best. You can bring your baby and come in the comfort that you will walk away with breastfeeding clothes that will fit you and look good on you.

We also do breastfeeding clothes parties – its a fun way to get some mums together that you have met either by nct or other groups and just have a girly laugh. Again you have your baby with you and we bring the clothes to you – we will even make the tea for you!

So have a look at our site and if you want the luxury of having the nursing clothes come to you let us know – www.milkbug.co.uk

INTRODUCING MILKBUG BREASTFEEDING COLLECTION FOR SUMMER 2012

Cosmos Nursing top

We have been selling breastfeeding clothes for a number of years now, we have worked closely with our designers and ensuring that we get the styles that are well-liked by our mums. For us its important that each piece is smart and stylish as well as highly functional for breastfeeding. We have seen a number of designs over the years and using our expertise and knowledge we have designed and launched our own breastfeeding collection.

Designing clothes isnt an easy thing to do, so I am being honest to say that we studied hard the world of fashion and design – added to this the complexity of breastfeeding openings. We had a number of samples and prototypes made and we tested each item ourselves. Taj recently had baby number 2 and was key in testing in each sample both at home and out and about and we were able to tweak according to feedback.

We have ensured that our items are not made of cheap material which will shrink in the wash, we have selected modal cotton which is supersoft, lightweight, soft and smooth which is ideal for you and your babys skin. Our material is resistant to wear and tear and can be washed a number of times with no impact on the quality….and the price? Well thats the best bit, we have not compromised quality and we have worked closely across the supply chain to keep costs down to ensure that our prices for each item is competitive and affordable.

Here is our collection for 2012:

As the days get shorter and colder   – wrapping yourself and baby up warm becomes a priority. This also means that when you are at public places you are removing layers in order to get the best postion to breastfeed in.

If you have layered up in order to feed in comfort – its worth looking at investing in some simple breastfeeding tops which you can put on under a cardi and coat. You can then just pull your cardi to one side giving you access to your top while keeping yourself warm.

This winter we have quite a few tops which are ideal to wear in this weather and we are pleased to stock a few new brands as well. CK england has been designed by a mum herself who is a designer and she has put a lot of attention to detail to each aspect. The material is supple enough to stretch to give access to the breast, but it retains it shape when put back. We simply love these tops, for their simplicity and elegance.

Summer is here – well sort of!! and all new mums want to me out and about enjoying the sun and meeting other mothers. This season we have selected a selection of items which are colourful and stylish. We bring to you the majamas collection  which we love and mums have been telling us they love too – made of super soft material and also very flattering as they can be worn both during and after pregnancy.

Milk nursing wear is also great as we have selected a number of sleeveless breastfeeding tops  - with side straps so to hide your bra straps and also the ruffle detail dress is going down well

All the items we have this season have good access for breastfeeding which will allow you to nurse in comfort and discretion where ever you. Our breastfeeding dresses come in a good selection of styles and colours and are perfect for wedding, christenings etc or whenever you want to wear something dressy but not have to worry about how you will feed your baby.

Maternity fashion has seen a massive boost with major brands and designers creating new looks for expectant mums. This fashion sense is now trickling down to breastfeeding clothes – mums can look stylish while they breastfeed anywhere. Here is a guide of styles for any occasion which can make breastfeeding comfortable and discreet.

Walk in the park: Look for tops which give easy access so that you can sit on a bench when your baby wants a feed. Try going for tops which have slits and push aside access rather than a top layer which can be tricky. As you will be walking look for fabrics which are light and breathable so that you don’t get too hot while walking. T-shirts are perfect.

Parties and christenings: This is the time to dress up and really show yourself and baby off. Breastfeeding dresses are perfect as they show your best bits and aren’t too clingy. If you don’t like dresses then go for longer length tops or have side gatherings which flatter your shape and have bolder colours and prints so that you do look you are dressed for a party.

Coffee shops and restaurants: Feeding in public places can be the most daunting as people will stare which makes you uncomfortable. Crossover tops are great for this situations as they give easy access and also give you the maximum coverage when feeding. Also tops with side access can work well for you, team this up with a wrap and again you have maximum coverage.

Sleepwear: Night time feeds can be tiring at any time and also uncomfortable if you are struggling to undo your bra whilst positioning your baby to feed through your neckline or waist. You can get PJs which are designed for easy access, or you can liven up your nightwear by wearing a nursing chemise.

Don’t forget that all these styles will only look good if you are wearing the right nursing bra which gives you support and shape so make sure you get sized up for the correct size. Also you don’t need to buy a whole new wardrobe, just invest in two tops, one casual and one more party type. A camisole can be worn under your ordinary clothes and still give you discretion.

The new spring and summer collection is great and your response has been amazing and we are busy restocking as the dresses and tops are a perfect fit for the summer,

I finally get to try out some of the clothes that we sell at Milkbug. I set up Milkbug after I had stopped breastfeeding my daughter so never really got a chance to indulge in any of the clothes – but with the new spring summer collection here I have had a shopping frenzy!

Whats great is that I can really try for myself what works and what you guys like about what we sell. I have always been dubious about the dual function clothing – i.e those that are both for pregnancy and nursing, but the Majamas collection is great for this and I found the clothes do accommodate my ever growing belly! If I remember after my daughter was born my mum tum didnt go away for a while and I begged my husband to wear his t-shirts. Which is why I can see how the dual function will be great after as it wont hug my belly!

So while I am having a great time with a new outfit every week – our spring collection has been flying of the shelves. We have had mothers en vogue in so much demand  and as I wear one of the maxi dresses I can see why.

I might not be the belle of any ball – but this time round i do feel like lot sexier than the first time round. Though I wonder how I will look when baby is here and I have to endure the sleepless nights again! But rest assured I know I will look good in my breastfeeding night suit which I have just picked out from Majamas.
