On the work front i am super excited to say our new shirts have arrived, they are really nice ( i know you would think i would say this but they are ) i had them delivered with no hassle (all other previous deliveries had involved a lot of drama in one form or another , which had given me cold sweats every time i knew a delivery was on it;s way) i managed this one all on my own and now have biceps like arnie but all the shirts are here safely.

It’s true what they say that you need good people working around you, the kinda people who you know have got your back, and i am really lucky to have retained people like this and i;ve found new ones too that hopefully if they are as good as i think they will be cool for Mama FeelsGood.  It sucks big time to be let down by people who you had previously trusted so i’ve just had a taste of this and it wasn’t nice but i’ve put this down as a learning experience and changed certain aspects of the business ie don;t get an accountant that doesn’t do anything!

I’ve also been to Germany this Spetember to the mooooosive trade show for nursery products and i’ve found some really cool designers and baby changing bags etc which are super cool and if things work out ok i’d like to sell on-line.

We have our new website waiting in the wings, i’ve just got to learn how to use it! This my take some time ha ha

We also have our photoshoot on saturday which will be in the centre of bristol so fingers crossed for the good weather.

Things are changing and our new stock will be here soon. woo hoo

One thing that i can totally connect with is the breastfeeding in public and the fact that you have to do it (unless you become a hermit) but you want to but don’t want to if you get my drift! The first couple of times was really had for me, but once you get going it does become easier and you can get the knack down pat and before you know it you’ll be breastfeeding anywhere!

It was a real shame the lady was breastfeeding in a toilet on there, i mean it’s not nice for mum or the baby really but like i mentioned above i expect a lot of mums do this because it makes them feel a lot more comfortable, hey ladies each to their own, if that what makes you feel at ease go for it. But honestly breastfeeding clothing does make feeding in public that bit more realxed, and i’m not just saying that because i have my own brand of nursing clothes!

WE’ve had some really lovely emails from ladies who say our nursing tops have given them more confidence to basically go out! No mummy tummy on show, and less boobage on show!

I gotta say we have been selling lots of our long sleeve breastfeeding tops, think it is a mixture of the cold weather and people wanting them for christmas presents (of course along with the fact that they are gorgeous nursing tops!) . Lots of our sale shirts are selling out, and there are only very few of certain nursing shirts left in our sale section. We only have a few sizes left of our Neptune Surf short sleeve nursing T-shirt

Also we have had lots of enquiries about of long sleeve Owl nursing T-shirt. We have basically sold out of these in the smaller sizes and we did take them all off our website because we were going to get them re-printed but with the christmas rush and hence super busy times we haven’t gotten around to it so we have put them back on the website but we only have them in sizes L, XL, XXL and there are very few larges left!

So if there is a nursing shirt that you really want don;t wait go for it because we can’t promise it will be around for long!

One of these changes will be an extention in our breastfeeding clothing range. I had the final samples through yesterday for our nursing dress and new breastfeeding top and i am well chuffed with them. Really lovely heavy fabric, in lovely designs that will look fabulous when you aren’t breastfeeding anymore, no one will know they are nursing tops / dresses so it’s an extension to your normal wardrobe too. Lots of ladies continue to wear our breastfeeding T-shirts after they stop nursing because they don’t look like nursing tops.

As a young business we really are building our reputation on providing good quality breastfeeding clothing at affordable prices which you will actually want to wear! One of the fundamental things we believe is we want to make clothes from good fabric that you won’t be able to see your underwear through or is so light that in the winter you’ll be freezing, or way too short you have to wear leggings with the be able to go out in. We re a UK business and proud, and as my nan would say treat others how you would want to be treated – so we make clothes that we ourselves would be happy to wear Thanks everyone for their support, we are committed to making quality nursing wear.

Metropolis Nursing Top

Day 4 – crazy nursing top sale.

On  offer today at the amazingly good price of £9.99 is our Metropolis light grey breastfeeding top in light grey.  That is a reduction of over 50%, so maooooosive savings for you.

Like our sale all this week this nursing shirt will be on sale for today only, so this time tomorrow (sunday) there will be another funky nursing top on sale. We are running this for 7 days so over half way through now. The colder weather is coming along so you can even buy this in preparation for the really cold weather ( my mum does this with the next sale, buys clothes for my daughters 1 year ahead of what they are!! Thanks mum ).

Here’s a little description of the shirt:

We found quite a few old nursing tops from when we first started Mama Feelsgood, it might not be that long ago ( we are celebrating our 2nd anniversary in little over a months time) but wow how things have come on since then with the design of our breastfeeding wear. They differ from our current nursing T-shirts in a few ways :  A= the material , our current nursing tops have a little bit of spandex in the layers just to help stretch & retain their shape. B= our old breatsfeding tops were too short, they needed to be longer , so now our nursing shirt are long enough to hang outside your jeans or you can tuck the bottom layer in for extra cozyness!

We also found our maternity shirts prototype, these were funny, we did think about combining the two of having a maternity top that would convert into a nursing top, but we found that if you had been wearing the shirt as a maternity top for a few months by the time you come to breast feed your baby and if you breast feed over a period of  months the shirt has just been stretched too much by your pregnancy and won’t go back into shape enough so is unflattering to your shape. Also lots of mums ( and i must include myself in this) don’t like to wear maternity clothes after you’ve had your babies. I know i am not spekaing for everyone here but i really didn’t enjoy either of my pregnancies , it’s truly amazing to have a new growing etc an  of course i loved my babies to bits but the high blood pressure, back ache, sickness, lack of sleep etc i did not enjoy, some ladies bloom when pregnant i think i wilted!! But hey i have 2  fantastic children and i wouldn’t have it any other way. But clothes wise i found it lovely to have new nursing clothes to wear that were totally separate from my old maternity ones.

SO we have many boxes of nursing tops to move, it’s going to take some time and we are also looking to take delivery of some new style tops and nursing dresses too later this year which will need lots of room to store, all good times but blimey i wish i had bigger muscles!!! Good job Matt has i predict he will need them !!

Take care Liz

Our Metropolis dark grey nursing top is going really fast, in medium there are literally like 3 shirts left so once they are gone they are gone, this style won’t be reprinted again .

As summer is edging away ( boo hoo) we are putting our pink nursing tops on sale although it;s alway cool to have a lovely colour shirt to pick you on those hideously cold winters mornings.

Newly added to our sale section is our Music Sounds Better With You long sleeve breastfeeding top it’s an absolute steal at £15.99 and will see you through the winter a treat. Again like our Metropolis nursing T-shirts once this print goes out of stock it won;t be re printed so if it floats your boat pick one up.

We are moving to our new premises too so in order not to log too much stock around we have put our short sleeve Rock Mama nursing top on sale (but only for a limited period only), this is one of our best selling nursing tops so won’t be at the super low price for much longer.

This breast feeding top is one of my favourites in our store, so i do feel quite attached to it !!! so this really will be a limited sale for this particular nursing top. We start moving into our new building friday so once this style top has been moved to its new home the sale will stop. sorry dudes!

As we add on take away different graphic prints nursing shirts from our sale section i’ll let you know here.
