    Carriwell GelWire Seamless Nursing Bra Review

    Byelisabeth December 9, 2013 1:39 pm

    There are plenty of challenges in breastfeeding, but a nursing bra shouldn’t be one of them. And bra brands continue to introduce innovative products to meet new mothers’ nursing needs. Figure 8 Maternity offered to send me the Carriwell GelWire Seamless Nursing Bra for review.  I asked Stephanie, a new mom in The Breast Life…

    Holiday Gifts for New Moms: Nursing Sleepwear

    Byelisabeth November 13, 2013 8:23 am

    Sleepwear may not be high on your list of holiday gifts for new moms. But it should be. Most new mothers don’t get much rest in those first few weeks or months after baby is born. I was so exhausted I could hardly find time to take a shower, much less change out of my…

    Best Maternity and Nursing Bras: What Fits

    Byelisabeth August 28, 2013 8:19 amMay 31, 2025 5:26 pm

    If you’re pregnant, you have to add maternity and nursing bras to your get-ready-for-baby shopping list. But it’s not just changing cup sizes that you need to keep in mind, even though your boobs double or triple in size. You also need to ask yourself some practical questions. Will you be taking baby and stroller…

    Stylish Nursing Clothes Kate Middleton Would Wear

    Byelisabeth July 31, 2013 8:22 am

    Kate Middleton made every new mother proud when she presented both her baby and her postpartum bump to adoring crowds. Everyone assumed Middleton would wear fashionable maternity clothes during her pregnancy. But who knew she would expose a still full, post-pregnant figure to the masses? Expectant celebrities, like Kim Kardashian, are under media scrutiny to…

    Air Travel and Breastfeeding: Five Tips for Nursing and Pumping Moms

    Byelisabeth May 8, 2013 3:19 pmJune 15, 2025 6:28 pm

    Are you a nursing mom planning to fly with your infant? Maybe have a business trip planned (without baby) and must maintain your milk supply across a few time zones? Air travel and breastfeeding can be challenging and not just for the obvious logistical reasons. The TSA and several airlines have been in the news…

    Nursing Nightwear: What You Need to Know

    Byelisabeth May 1, 2013 6:10 amJune 15, 2025 6:28 pm

    I didn’t think of taking nursing nightwear to the hospital for the birth of my first child. It wouldn’t have mattered because I ended up having an emergency c-section. The umbilical cord had gotten wrapped around my little boy’s neck — twice. (Everything turned out fine, thank you.) But it was a long, tiring, 24…

    What it Takes to Succeed at Breastfeeding

    Bythebreastlife July 25, 2012 12:12 am

    Breastfeeding is like child-rearing: not as easy as it first appears. Women’s breasts don’t look all that complicated from the outside. But our mammary wonders produce a mysterious, magical food source that can’t be measured. And no two mothers have the same nursing experience. Plus each baby is unique. My three presented me with distinct…

    Breastfeeding Basics: Treat Yourself to Beautiful Nursing Bras

    Bythebreastlife June 10, 2012 6:15 pmMay 31, 2025 5:40 pm

    I wasn’t one of those glowing pregnant women. And once my babies arrived, I had a tough time figuring out the breastfeeding basics, including nursing bras. The only woman in my family who had nursed her kids was an older sister who lived two states away. Multiple pregnancies didn’t make me a lactation expert either….

    Simple Wishes Review: Breast Pumping Made Easier

    Bythebreastlife November 22, 2011 5:44 pmMay 31, 2025 5:03 pm

    It’s that time of year, and I’m squeezing extra errands into my regular workday to meet the demands of the holiday season. Cards need to be written (okay, maybe that won’t happen, but it’s the thought that counts), presents bought, and gifts wrapped. I’ve got more time since my kids are now grown. But when…
