Breastfeeding Support ProductsFriday’s Favorite 5Breastfeeding Support7 August 2009In support of World Breastfeeding Week (1-7 August 2009) we thought we’d bring you some of our favorite products designed to support the breastfeeding mum and make her life just that little bit easier. HOTmilk Lingerie – Stylish and practicalWhile theoretically all about easy access and practicality, we think breastfeeding mothers should still be reminded of the beautiful, confident and sexy person they are! HOTmilk Lingerie is simply gorgeous – just check out the range, it speaks for itself. Purchase online from Belly Beyond.Medela Breastpumps – Nature and technology combinedA good breastpump is a necessity for those whose babies are born prematurely and too early to latch, for mothers who need to return to work early and still want to provide their babies with breastmilk, or for those who just want a night off every now and again. Our favorites are the Medela pumps with the “2 Phase Expression” – designed to mimic how a baby breastfeeds themselves - the Pump in Style Advanced ($625.95) or Freestyle ($759.95) for those expressing full time, or the Swing ($284.95) for those who want to express a feed each day, all available from Belly Beyond.Olli & Lime Bib & Burp Sets – Blending functionality with styleWe love Olli & Lime and are so glad it has finally come to New Zealand. All of their range is simply beautiful, and their bib and burp sets are made from 100% cotton percale backed with 100% lambskin fleece – perfect for catching all of those spills while looking gorgeous at the same time. $42.95 from Belly Beyond.Innature Breastfeeding Pillow – Natural, organic supportBreastfeeding pillows provide fantastic support, bringing your baby to a better level for feeding while giving some relief to tired arms. The Innature Breastfeeding Pillow is made from 100% natural materials, that haven’t been exposed to any toxic chemicals, and it has a strap that you can clip around your back to make sure it doesn’t move away from you in the middle of a feed. $99 from the Innature website.Mobea Flexi Merino Wrap – Discreet breastfeeding in styleYou’ll find a lot of different nursing covers on the market now. What we love the most about the Mobea Flexi Merino Wrap is that it’s so versatile, it can be worn before, during and after breastfeeding and is sure to become a staple item in your wardrobe. The merino fabric ensures that neither you nor baby will overheat, while keeping you both warm and comfortable. Available from Mobea for $78.For more information on World Breastfeeding Week, visit their website, or for breastfeeding support in New Zealand, visit www.lalecheleague.org.nz. |
