I’m going to call myself fairly lucky when it comes to nursing. I didn’t have any major issues with Parker or Pippa; both latched on from the first day and my supply was always healthy. The only thing I suffered with was recurring plugged milk ducts the last 6 months or so with Parker, so I’ve been proactive with Pippa and started on lecithin supplements right away.
When I had Parker I was a typical first time mom and didn’t really leave the house for a month for fear of her catching something and getting sick, but now that I have a very active toddler, I have to get out of the house daily. It’s pretty much the peak of summer in the PNW, so it’s been crazy hot. The heat, plus postpartum hormones, plus an 8 pound heater pressed against your body all day means I pretty much want to be naked all the time. Most nursing tanks aren’t really suitable to wear out in public which is why I’m so glad I came across these awesome nursing tops from Belly Dance Maternity. Instead of the ugly clips on the shoulder straps, I love the easy access nursing via the buttons and zippers. Not only are these way comfier than regular nursing tanks, they are cute and perfect for warm weather. When I had my first, I had the hardest time finding anything fashionable to nurse in. Belly Dance Maternity has SO many cute, trendy, fashionable options to choose from…as well as beautiful nursing dresses and long sleeved options for the fall. I know I’ll be wearing these tanks next summer regardless if I’m nursing or not! I’ve partnered with Belly Dance Maternity to offer one lucky winner a voucher to their online shop–Good Luck!
