TweetI’ve spent the last few hours absolutely horrified at the selection of nursing tops online. I’m sick of seeing the same v-neck top on every website, available in the same 3 generic colors: black, grey and purple. After spending some quality time with the Google search box, I finally came across Dote Nursingwear, a line of modern, trendy functional nursing wear that I hope will save me from cursing at my misshapen Bravado camisoles.
Dote’s designs are somewhat Theory-esque with modern silhouettes and don’t scream “Motherhood”. The only catch here is the line is from Singapore and can take up to 15 business days to ship, and they’re closed until January 12 for the holidays. But I did find a few styles at figure8maternity.com. Tip: their coupon codes are stackable so use as many as you can.
Meanwhile, please excuse me while I go off on one more rant. I don’t know what irks me more, websites that use obviously un-pregnant and/or non-nursing women as models (I doubt the pink dress above looks like that on a DD chest) or the ones that use “real” shots of women using their clothes, and by “real” I mean it looks like the pictures were taken in someone’s backyard.
I convinced hubby to watch the baby under the premise of “post-Thanksgiving cleanup”… little does he know I’ve actually gotten sucked into online Black Friday sales. :)
Not only is Tea having an awesome $15 dress sale, but all sale items are an extra 25% off today, making each of these cuties $11.25 each. I’m stocking up in sizes 6 mo – 2 yrs. :) Coupon code: HEYEXTRA25
One of my favorite additions to the nursery is this 3 Sprouts Organic Storage Bin that I use to store baby’s toys when we are done with tummy time. They are on Gilt today but be forewarned, they are not discounted. It’s nearly impossible to find these guys on sale… they seem to pop up on sale sites but still sell at retail price. (Kind of like Aden + Anais.)
Oh, and Cora likes it too.
Happy 4 weeks little Madeleine!
It’s so hard to believe that it’s already been a month since you’ve entered our world. Seems just yesterday you were our teeny little newborn, completely content to sleep around the clock, that is, until the minute we left the hospital! You’ve already given me so much — more love than I can contain, more patience than I knew I had and more happiness than I could ever imagine. I am looking forward to spending the rest of my life repaying that to you by giving you everything I possibly can. XOXO
If I could do the baby shopping all over again I’d exchange my entire newborn onesie collection for these kimono wraps from Petit Bateau. They’ve become an everyday staple for lil Maddie, so easy to put on and so much better fitting than any of her other newborn clothes. The key is in the fit: the skinny arms are the perfect width and length for newborns and the bottom buttons wrap forward, making it easy for diaper changes and the leg openings are super comfortable for a newborn’s frog legs.
You’d think all baby clothes are made like this but the onesies we’ve picked up from Baby Gap and other random stores just don’t fit very well. Also I’ve learned (the hard way) that over-the-head onesies are no good for a newborn… in addition to being extremely paranoid about their flimsy necks, it’s ridiculously difficult to take off a soiled onesie over the head without getting any dirty parts on their head. :P
Also just love that Petit Bateau baby stuff makes babies look like babies. Cute, adorable, tiny little babies. :)
