     One claim often made by emerging intimate apparel brands is the need to “reinvent bras.”  For example, here’s a recent quote from a Kickstarter campaign for an ingenious strapless bra: Despite the many technological, engineering and manufacturing developments made during the past century – consider, for example, the development of walking boots, rain jackets or even…

    Byelisabeth May 2, 2017 8:42 am

    Beautiful nursing bras aren’t that hard to find anymore, which wasn’t the case during my breastfeeding years—some 25 years ago. Back in those days, I would have killed for anything in a cute fabric or design. But, today, it’s no longer a struggle to find attractive and practical nursing bras, even in sizes up to…

    Nursing Sports Bras: Athleisure Wear for Pumping & Breastfeeding Moms

    Byelisabeth June 13, 2016 8:39 am

    Nursing sports bras are a more casual, athleisure wear support solution for new moms. They’re not so much about working out or getting back into your pre-pregnancy shape. You don’t need a gym membership or be signed up for Pilates or yoga classes to wear them (even if you did those things before your baby arrived)….

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….
