Mama Feels Good

Hurrah after what seems like an eternity we have gotten around to getting our new website on-line, it’s taken ages basically because i haven’t got my butt into gear and there is always lots to do; plus (i won’t bore you with all the details) i’ve had so much hassle with people not doing what they are paid to do ie accountants it’s given me a proper headache! But this has all been changed now and i have found someone who is brill

I’ve also been thinking about my blog, i’m sorta fed up with just writing “and here’s our next nursing top” which seems kinda insincere and crappy; i really love Mama FeelsGood, it is totally my 3rd baby (which sometimes can be a pain because i take some things way too personally) so i wanted to write bits about the company, the clothes we produce, why we make them, my daily role in running the company and maybe basically my life. To me this seems more worthwhile rather than churning out spam ! So apologies if this isn’t what you want to hear, trust me my life is not that thrilling , i promise not to blog about going to Tesco etc!

It’s getting close to the end of 2011 and looking back on this year of working on Mama FeelsGood i feel pretty good about what we have achieved : We reached the final of the Practical Parenting awards and also the Mother & Baby awards (this is thought of as THE best awards, sorta Oscars for the nursery world) and to get in the final in both of these when competition is so strong was a real achievement for us.

After all we are a small company so to get recognition is really cool, plus it was the first year we had ever entered any competitions so all is good. Of course if we have won i would have had a party that lasted about a week, but hey you gotta take credit where its due and we got in the final so excellenti !

Also in 2011 we have introduced our new Money Penny nursing tops and breastfeeding dresses – i made sure when these were made that they we thicker fabric so they are durable for breastfeeding and not so thin you can see through them; 1 thing i found when breastfeeding was i had to wear quite a substantial nursing bra because my wongers were maoooosive and it wasn’t the type of underwear i would want everyone to see shining through my garments so ladies i have thought of this and the thicker fabric has been used for our nursing dress ! This also goes for our Money Penny nursing tops too as they are made of the same material (and work on the same breastfeeding access as the dresses).

Also our new boat neck nursing tops are in store, these are SO soft it’s untrue; also the underlayer of the tops is the same colour as the top layer, our previous style nursing tops were mostly white underlayers and different top layer colours  so we’ve changed things up and all new shirts have same colour top & bottoms . For example our Tattooo owl nursing top

So who knows what 2012 will bring ? Hopefully more new designs and maybe a few surprises ?

Yesterday we put our Mama’s Melons nursing T-Shirt on sale so we thought we’d better tell you guys about it!

It’s available on sale in Pink we do carry this print on a black nursing top too (but this isn’t on sale, just the pink shirt) and it’s one of our most popular breastfeeding tops so grab one up now while you can! We don’t have a huge range of sizes available, and shirts are limited to each size; we won’t be getting this re-printed on pink shirts again so this is your last chance to get one. In fact a lot of our pink shirts are on sale as we won’t be running with pink again for a while. I guess it’s more of a summer colour and so far here in the UK our summer has been crappy ! So we are getting others colours manufactured which should be cool, and provide more variation to what we carry at the moment.

We thought it was about we spread the word a little about how fabulous our nursing tops are!! 

Not that we are big headed, but we are just super passionate about them and wanted to get the word out to as many people as possible. This is one thing i can’t get use to, you’ve got to say how great your product is when someone asks, and i truly do thing our brand and our nursing clothes are fabulous but i am a modest person! I think it might have something to do with being British? I have alot of american friends and if they have something good they scream from the roof tops about it. Here in the UK i think we are abit more reserved. What do you think?

There are bigger things in the pipeline for Mama Feelsgood, can’t mention right now but they are all good

Everyone take care in this heat, i think the UK is going through a weather crisis at the moment!!!

& don’t forget if you would like a nice summer breastfeeding tee our pink nursing tees are just the ticket

The thing with breastfeeding your baby is sometimes it is uncertain if you will be able to or want to for a long period of time. Before i had my daughter i had the intentions of giving breastfeeding ago, see how i got on and with the knowledge that it’s best for your child i would give it the best shot i got.

Thing is in real life things don’t always work out the way you wanted. I had an emergency c-section after a very long and in the end dangerous labour (which both my daughter & my own life could have been lost) and i basically couldn’t produce the milk she needed (even though i tried for weeks). I wish i had known about industrial style breastpumps you can hire from your local council / midwife etc.

But anyways i’m going off on a tangent! I bought some breastfeeding tops to use, used them a couple of times and then they got thrown to the back of the wardrobe, money wasted! Not only did they not look good but i didn’t want everyone seeing the “Flaps” that they had in them, kinda looked like a nursing shirt too much!

So this was half of my inspiration to start Mama Feelsgood. Breastfeeding tops that can be worn whilst you feed your child and as they grow and you no longer have the functional need for them you can still wear them.

Some ladies have snipped out the under layer to wear just the top shirts as regular t-shirts. Others wear them as they are (with the purpose of using them again with future babies) , i wear them as they are and i don’t breastfeed but they look mega funky.

Please don’t feel the need to stop wearing your breastfeeding shirt just because you no longer breastfeed. Just think when your child is older you can tell them “i use to wear this when you were little” !!

Our breastfeding tops are functional, funky and really something new and original you would wanna wear being a Mummy or not!

Bingo wings? No i’m not being rude but do you wanna hide your bingo wings this summer but still be able to look cool? If so check out our maternity V-neck T-shirt,  the great thing about it is the sleeves aren’t too short but aren’t too long to make you hot and bothered this summer. It’s a great maternity transitional piece which can take you through the summer and into Autumn, and at £16.99 it is an absolute steal.

100% rib knit cotton (brilliant quality too, not thin rubbish) it will wash really well, and has tons of room for your growing bump. The extra long length of this maternity top will keep you covered in all the right places!

Honestly we really do try to bring you not only good quality breastfeeding tops , but nursing tops you would actually want to wear even if you weren’t breastfeeding and at a price that is not mega expensive.

We don’t skimpt on fabric in our breastfeeding tops, and of you think about it you are getting 2 tops for the price of 1 because we use the brilliant method of having a discret under shirt which keep you covered but you can still breasfteed from whilst having the cover of the top shirt.

Everybody we have a good feeling about 2009, odd ending years have been really good for us. So fingers crossed we are hoping our maternity and breastfeeding t-shirts become even bigger (pardon the punn).

We are really trying to offer something new, quality, affordability and funkt fresh designs which you will really wanna wear. We try not to pay for advertising which keeps the price of our tees dwn, so remember if you like what we do tell your friends

Happy 2009 guys love Liz & Matt Jeans

Ok so i was really sad to see the shut down of Woolworths this month. My nan use to buy loads of things from there when she was alive and when my parents were younger it was THE place people bought the majority of their things especially at christmas.

So it got me to thinking, business’s can be crazy things sometimes; seems to me you pay a fortune to advertise which in turn raises the cost of your stock (because you have to pay for this advertising ) and the whole thing is a viscious circle. We make no secret of the fact that this is Mama Feelsgood first year of trading, and we’ve worked really hard to get this far. Everything has seemed like a struggle but we are so proud of our product and service and thats something that won’t change. SO :

We thought we would do away with paying for expensive advertising and run on our word of mouth , this way we can keep the price of our shirts down and keep the fabulous quality, so remember if you like us tell people about us !!! The more word of mouth business the longer the nursing & maternity shirts can be kept cheaper.

Ok so it’s nearly christmas here and the weather is totally freezing here in the UK but remember we delivery worldwide, so people in hotter places of the world we ar ehere for you!!.Alot of people can’t stand the cold weather here and a few of my friends have jetted off for warmer climates, and gotta say our Mama 8 Ball maternity tee would be a fantastic addition to any holiday wardrobe.

The thing with being pregnant is you can span alot of different seasons, and realistically you want to get as much wear as possible out of your maternity clothes. We do sell alot of long sleeve maternity tee,s but dont forget if our baseball short sleeve takes you fancy you can always layer it up with a “normal” tee, especially if you are in your earlier stages of pregnancy. All our maternity t-shirts are longer length so will keep your bump warm and hide any bump that might poke out!!

Don’t worry before you know it we will be in summer ahemmm

Mama Feelsgood – maternity tees this good are hard to find .
