Mama Feelsgood

OK  so you have finished breastfeeding so you no longer have the need for your fantastic Mama Feelsgood nursing top , well no missy you can think again ! Thats the fantastic thing about our breast feeding T-shirts is they can easily be changed into a “normal ” tee with no real hassle.

Our Nursing T-shirts all have an under layer sewn into them, so when you put the shirt on the 2 layers don’t become missaligned and then bunched up all over the place, you know the feeling you go to lift your top up to feed and find your clothes have  moved and what you thought was hidden well it’s hanging out all over the place. Thats why our nursing tees make breastfeeding that little bit easier, they keep you covered when you wanna be.

So back to the conversion, basically you turn the shirt inside out and you will see the under layer is sewn into the top layer shirt at the shoulders and around the neck. So remove the underlayer just snip the threads at the shoulder taking care not cut the outer shirt. Then you can cut around the neck (the underlayer part on inside of nursing tee ) and dah dah you have a “normal” t-shirt. If you are good at sewing you can overlock the loose threads left by the under layer part around the neck (there will be a little bit of under layer left around inside of neck so not to cut the outer layer tee) so they won’t fray. Hey it;s not perfect but no one can see the underlayer from the outside.

We make all our nursing T-shirts so they are long enough so they can be worn without the under layer if you wish when you don’t need the nursing function. Plus as loads of customers say they are such funky shirts you would want to wear them even if you weren’t breastfeeding.

I’ll try and put some pictures on later to demonstrate how it works, but if you have one of our nursing tops then it will be pretty obvious how you can do this. Just shows our breastfeeding tops are multi functional !

Exciting times here at Mama FeelsGood we are extending our range of nursing clothing , so to go with our range of nursing T-shirts (both graphic nursing tops and plain nursing T-shirts) are are designing some nursing dresses and are looking for you input.

We have a pretty good idea od which direction we are going to head in and without giving too much away have 1 nursing dress pretty much designed, but as we always say we love to get feedback from our customers and want to know what you would want from a dress you can breast feed in. Would ladies like something more “dressy” ie something you could wear to work, out on a night and during the day or is a causal nursing dress more appropriate? 

Also length, on the knee, below the knee? Whats you fav?

There is soo many designs to choose from when thinking up new ideas for nursing clothing and lots of women say there is never anything nice in the breastfeeding clothing market that doesn’t obviously look like nursing wear so now ladies is your chance to create nursing clothing you would actually want to wear.

OK so it;s not even Spring yet (only a few weeks away until it is officially spring) but there is a change in the weather here in the UK. The evenings are getting lighter for longer and the mornings lighter too, i love this time of year, and before you know it summer will be here yeah!!!

So as a kinda yeah to Springs arrival we have put some of our short sleeve graphic print nursing tops on sale. 

This is our horses short sleeve nursing top in light grey and it is on special for only £15.99, seriously a good price for a quality shirt which would be fab for the spring / summer and just pop a cardigan over the top if you wanna wear it all year around. 

Funky hard wearing nursing clothes are hard to come by so please check our clothes out which have been designed for breastfeeding mums. We are currently planning out designs for future breastfeeding clothing collections here at Mama Feelsgood so as our previous blog entry mentions if you have any strong ideas of what you would like to see just let us know. We have had lots of really good suggestions via email so thanks to all the ladies who have taken the time to reply, it has been a real help. We promise to produce some kicking new  nursing tops / nursing clothing in the near future.

OK so you know someone who has had a baby and are breastfeeding, know what could you possibly buy them for christmas…….

Ahh i know why not one of Mama Feelsgood fantastic funky nursing tops

OK maybe thats a little bit obvious of us as we totally thing our breastfeeding tops are the best but seriously they would make a fantastic present this christmas. It;s always nice to get something good to wear at christmas and it will show your other half / friend you have the imagination to find a gift that is functional yet looks good and it totally suitable for them.

All our nursing clothing goes in size from UK 8 to 18 and are availlble in graphic prints and plain nursing tops too.

Ok perhaps my rhyming isn’t very good ha ha.

In the spirt if autumn and things turning a bit colder now (although i have to say for November things really aren’t that cold at all) though it would introduce our Owl breastfeeding T-shirt .

we’ve changed the design up a little from our previous printing of this nursing shirt and inversed the printing of it. We think it totally rocks, we think the print makes it clearer to see the little skulls on the design. We’ve had loads of comments about this nursing shirt and people really get good comments from friends etc when they wear it which it totally cool.

Here’s the detailed description from our website about this breastfeeding tee.

Twit twoo look at you mama.

 Our OWL breastfeeding T-shirt is cute but with a harder edge, this owl isn’t all eyelashes look harder  and you will see !

We pride oursleves on proving funky, fresh breastfeeding tops which are super good quality too. Don’t stop being yourself because you’ve become a mum, show your child you have style!

Our breastfeeding tees are:

• 100% jersey cotton Top shirt
• 95% Cotton 5% Spandex under shirt
• To be worn after pregnancy
• machine washable
• sizes 8 – 18

All our breastfeeding T-Shirts work on the same nursing design:

It is 2 shirts in 1. The top t-shirt is just like a regular tee, and below is a hidden under vest with nursing openings on both sides. When you want to feed your baby you simply lift the top tee and move the undervest slightly to use the nursing openings. Keeps your tummy covered and helps hide you chest! As shown in additional pictures below.

I love halloween so much and it makes it even better when you have children to share it with. I’m going out to get my pumpkins this afternoon and and gonna take great joy in carving them, although what i’m gonna do with the inside is another thing. My imagination is pretty poor when it comes to cooking, so maybe the birds in my area are gonna have a little treat ha ha.

So you want to get into the halloween spirit a little and wear something appropriate? Why not try our Rattle and Hum  nursing graphic T-shirt? OK so it’s not got halloween written all over it but if you look closely you can see some pretty spooky goings on …..

We have it in the DArk GRey long sleeve style as shown above Or also the light grey long sleeve version, or if you prefer your nursing tops to be short sleeve we carry this design in Pink short sleeve

Or also in Dark Grey short sleeve breastfeeding style top.  

There are loads of really funky new breastfeeding tops available for sale on our website  so come and check them out

The last couple of days here have been super busy to say the least, what with the photo shoot and then the writing of the product pages for each of the new nursing tops it’s been crazy. 

I’ve been so busy working that last night i couldn’t stay up long enough to watch True Blood on channel 4 !! ha ha, hey i love that programme, very raunchy and a the language is very potty mouth in parts but i’m addicted already! Anyone else watch it?

Well back to the nursing tops – it is such a proud moment to see months and months worth of work come together and finally see the new collection on the website. This breastfeeding top collection has defiantly been worth it , and we like to think we have brought some more variation in our choice of nursing tops. SOme of the graphic designs on the nursing T-shirts have special meaning for me, 1 in particular “The music SOunds Better With you ” nursing top is in dedication to one of my very good friends Kerri who sadly passed away 2 years ago. She will never be forgotten and always much loved.

Mama Feelsgood nursing tops offer breastfeeding ladies funky, original nursing tops which are super functional, descrete and are really good quality at affordable prices.

Hey we are NOT saying you have to have one of our nursing shirts to breastfeed your baby, but like a lot of things in life they make life so much easier. Going out in public can be a real confidence issue with some ladies when they know that their baby is going to need a feed whilst out. Hey when i had my daughter i kept making feeble excuses as to why i couldn’t pop out to the mall with my friends for a cuppa tea , reality was i didn’t want to have to face the issue of getting my boobies out in public let alone my gigantic jelly belly (and i’m not a size 8 pretending to know how bigger women feel i am a good size 18!) stretch marks and all; when the real issue was i was uncomfortable with feeding in public. A lot of women are, and i truly wished i wasn’t , it’s one of the most natural things in the world, but i couldn’t help the way i feel. Now i am 14 weeks pregnant with my second baby and i really do feel like things have changed. Lets face it i have a big wardrobe of nursing shirts to choose from! And they will help me to gain confidence and nbot be a hermit!!

OK so some people have asked who would want to wear their breastfeeding shirts after they stopped feeding? 

Our shirts we like to think are really something different, for a start they don’t look like regular nursing shirts, they aren’t frumpy, and they offer originality and are really well made, so it’s not like you want to get out of them as fast as you can, we’d like to think you actually like them! A lot of our customers cut the inside nursing layer out and then wear then as regular shirts, whilst some like the fact that the inner layer kinda holds you in a little. Breastfeeding isn’t for everyone, so if you want to try if for a few months/ weeks/ days and find you don’t get on with it etc then you can still wear your shirt, it’s not like it’s so obvious it’s for breastfeeding that you couldn’t wear it when you weren’t!

We are well excited here at Feelsgood towers, our new shirts should be with us within the next week (everything takes So long!), so we will have plenty of stock in all designs which is good news because we are so sorry about you having to wait for shirts.

We’ve been trying to make our stocks of nursing tops hang out for the last couple of weeks but they just haven’t made it, which is good for us because they are selling but it sucks for you guys who need them now!! Yeah we know what it’s like when you are pregnant or breastfeeding and sometimes there just is no time to wait for things!!

So here is a little sneeky peak of one of our new graphic print nursing tops. We haven’t had our photo shoot yet so this is just a mock picture but hey it totally rocks.

This is called Rock Mama and will be available on dark grey short sleeve and black long sleeve. It reminds me of a Guns n roses style shirt. Hey rock out trendy mama ha ha!!

As soon as they arrive and we have done the photoshoot they will be on the site. I wasn’t sure about taking pre orders for the shirt ( we have had a lot of enquiries) just because it can get quite confusing when there are a lot of different orders to remember. But if you are really keen drop us an email and we can see what we can do

Have a cool weekend whatever you are doing – Liz

Today and tomorrow is the turn of our plain black and white nursing top to be on sale.
