Mama Feels Good

Hugs Breast Feeding Top

Behind the scenes here at Mama FeelsGood we are going through a lot of changes , we are having a big change to our website so it will make things easier for you guys and for us too to process your orders and to offer you a more varied service and provide more information to make it easier to pick which breastfeeding T-shirt you love the most, or of course which breastfeeding dress ( we have these too now of course!) . It’s really great that you guys like our nursing clothes and it’s kinda cool that we can change our website to keep up with all the funky new things that websites can do.

We are also getting in a new range of breastfeeding T-shirts, this has taken so long to organise i reckon i could have had another baby within the time it;s taken to organise; i admit i am not the most together person and sometime i am a little too laid back, something that i am trying to change ….well in the business world anyway. Next time i will be I SAID NOW dude… nah i don’t think that is really me! Well not on a good day ha ha!

SO we have a few new graphics hooked up to be printed which is really great, i am in the throws of deciding which colour print on which shirt so if you have any burning colour coordinations let me know! There is lots to do here at Mama Towers before the new nursing shirts are launched, so i better get on!

Oh yes sorry i forgot to mention our Hugs breastfeeding Top is being re printed so full size spec will be available again soon x

We are So chuffed, we have been mentioned in Real Parenting’s blog about clothes for new mums.

“You can avoid the “mum uniform trap” with a funky t’shirt or shirt. Lisa recommends the Mama Feels Goodrange, “they sell great maternity and breastfeeding t’shirts, with some fun graphic prints to brighten up an outfit.” Wearing a specially designed nursing t’shirt means you’ll avoid flashing your post-baby tummy and may find it easier to feed discreetly without showing the world your chest! ”

Thanks guys at Real Parenting, it’s so cool to get a mention off of the back of how great our maternity & nursing clothes are

Always does make you feel good to get some recognition .

So over the next couple of weeks we will be expanding our range of breastfeeding clothing and adding to our nursing T-shirt designs. First up is our Tattoo Owl long sleeve breastfeeding top in light grey .

Tattoo Owl Nursing Top

It’s really cool that all our breastfeeding graphic Tees are being printed here in Bristol, when i drop our shirts off there to be printed i always meet someone new and cool to talk to as the print shop is in a busy part of Bristol city , in a kinda arty area so everyone is super friendly which is really nice. Working on your own which i do is great but i do get lonely! I do have a tendency to talk a lot sometimes and i’ve noticed that when customers ring up with a query i tend to keep them chatting for a bit….. although i gotta say you guys are really nice and do tend to like to have a chat too!

Matt and I are putting plans together to improve Mama Feelsgood, and move it on a bit, both in product range and taking it to a wider audience. We know our breastfeeding clothes are really lush and loads more people should know about them so we are going to do something about it. I had an important meeting this week which really opened my eyes to things, and as the song goes i can see clearly know the rain has gone!!

Well enough about me , back to the breastfeeding T-shirts…..check out our newest graphic tee and let us know what you think:)

OK so if we are talking about breastfeeding tops as in T-shirts which colour shirt would you wear?

We are going to introduce some new colours into our range of breastfeeding T-shirts and basically want to know what you want.

We have had really great feedback about the nursing shirts we currently manufacture but we’ve had a few requests for different colours, but obviously not everyone likes the same colour and for us as a small company we can’t make every colour there is so have to be careful with what we choose.  I would really like to give red a go, but then there is the problem of which shade of red? I tell you ladies it’s a minefield!

SO if there is any particular nursing top you would like to see just let us know.

I’ve literally just come back from dropping our shirts off for screen printing so by Friday we good luck our KAT nursing Tee and our Owl nurisng top in dark grey should be back up to full force in all sizes. Also we should have a new graphic design shirt available too, how wicked it that

Ok ladies (and guys buying the lady of your life presents) the last day that we are going to post so it should reach you in time for christmas in the UK is this Thursday the 17th December. We send everything first class but at this time of the year we are mega busy and also the strain on Royal Mail is huge, so we are putting a deadline of the Thursday as our last posting day to get before christmas.

We will of course be posting things next week but they just won;t get to you in time for the big day.

We are taking christmas off here at MFG so our website will be open for orders all over the christmas and new year but we won;t be processing any and sending them until the monday after boxing day so we are actually getting a few days off!

Laters dudes, Liz

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.

Check out our website www.mamafeelsgood.com

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.
