Lips Nursing T-shirt

So Louise as her prize had the choice of any of the breastfeeding tops we sell.

Personally  i love Facebook, it gives us a really cool way to interact with you guys and it can also bring you together with other new mums and you can pick up some wicked tips about breastfeeding and general life as a mum. As a new mum myself (well Erin is 6 months now and Amelia is 5 years so) i’m finding new and funky things all the time in realation to all things baby! And i plan to share some of my finds with you guys via facebook etc.

If you have something you’d like to share then either leave a comment here or on our facebook page.

Take care, Liz

Light Grey Ray Gun nursing T-shirt

This funky nursing T-shirt was inspired from the 1950′s style B movies, have you ever seen one? They make me crack up, ok so it was the 1950′s and the special affects weren’t up to much but the story lines

The attack of the 50ft woman is genius , can you imagine that a 50ft woman, yeah girl power!!

I love the font types and the retro feel of the 1950′s, there was some really cool things going down around that time, although i do associate a lot of it with the American 1950′s ie Happy Days and milkshakes etc. I was lucky enough to go around california in my 20′s and went into a Rubys diner in Palm Springs (they have the train tracks running around the top of the walls in there, it;s well cool) and that is very 1950′s inspired diner. I think we should have more things like that here in the UK, would make things a lot more cheerful i think.

So back to our Ray Gun nursing tee , i got the idea for the graphic print from B movies which got me thinking about a really lush Foo fighters poster i have framed on my wall in my hall, it’s from one of their tours in 1997

i gotta laugh because my daughter says i look like the lady in the picture, if you point to it and says who’s this she says mum , all i can say is i haven’t trained her to say this but blimey i wish it were true!! ha ha

So there is the inspiration for our Ray gun nursing  shirts. They are quite a complicated design , and look even better close up, like i said the Mama Feelsgood font is very 1950′s comic book book style.

Currently we have 3 of out Ray guns tee on sale which can be found in our nursing sale section on our website , our long sleeve pink nursing top .

Have a fabulous weekend, Liz

Woo hoo the sun has finally started to shine here in the UK (well here in Bristol it’s gorgeous weather, so hope it;s just as nice where you are), so now is the time you are gonna want to get out and about with your little one. What can make this easier for breastfeeding mothers? Why a lovely summer nursing top from Mama FeelsGood.com ……. OK maybe this isn;t a subtle sales pitch but honestly our nursing tops are fab and just to make your life that little bit easier why not try one?

The picture shown is our Rock Mama Short sleeve nursing top in black (also comes in dark grey too)

Super funky nursing clothes are really hard to come by and we have lots of really cool casual nursing tops to offer, lots of them are currently available in our sale section too.  So if you are like me and a breastfeeding mother and know when your baby starts to cry they want feeding there and then ( i have first hand experience of being in M&S today and my 2 week old little girl needed feeding, and man she let me know she was hungry and all the people in the store knew too!! She has a fine set of lungs on her when she wants too. But of course i was wearing my Mama FeelsGood nursing top, in fact it was this Rock Mama breastfeeding top, the black does wonders to make you look slimmer! it made the whole process of breastfeeding in the childrens school clothing section loads more descrete ) !

Have fun in the sun and don;t forget your sun lotion, you dont wanna burn.

We have some seriously good nursing tops available to buy on our website, you should come check them out.

Also at the moment we are having a special on our short sleeve breastfeeding tops, so don;t miss a bargain because as much as we like a good sale they won’t be available at this price for much over a week. We’ve started off slow and have reduced a few and over the week will remove some from the sale and change them for others – well they do say a change is as good as a rest!

All our nursing tops work on the same principle of having 2 layers, the under layer having a double opening on either side ie left & right so you can just pull the top layer up and move the under layer across when you wanna feed your baby. So less tummy exposure!

Also a lot of ladies continue to wear their shirts after they stop feeding their babies, the top shirt really doens’t encounter too much stretch during the feeding process so doesn’t get stretched out of shape and the under layer has spandex in it so helps retain it;s shape. Some people snip the under layer out and wear just the top layer as a “normal” t-shirt after they have finishes with breastfeeding. So don’t look at the top as limited only to when you breastfeed , it;s a new addition toy our wardrobe which you can wear until you don;t want to!

To celebrate half term in the UK we are putting a different shirt on sale each day. So today is the turn of our plain black short sleeve breast feeding tee . Major bargain at £16.99, this lovely cotton breastfeeding top is really good quality which will be ideal if you are nursing your baby.

The cotton is great for mopping up any spills you might get whilst breastfeeding too! Whilst this nursing top is on sale here’s your chance to grab a bargain

ok ok we apologise to all those people we told the UK Vogue April issue was out on the 5th of March….it’s actually the 12th March we were a week premature!!

So don’t panic Mr Mannering we will be in the April Spring edition of Vogue but you’re gonna have to wait another week. So Laura sorry for making you have a bear breakdown in Tesco whilst trying to find it…..

There is a reason for my mistake, i just got abit over excitied and didn’t read an email properly, think i am going to have to invest in a new pair of glasses. So only another week until you can see our fabulous maternity & breastfeeding  T-shirts in print woo hoo

Mama Feelsgood- Maternity & Breastfeeding tees god enough for Vogue!

I can’t get over how bad my neck and back are, and thats from lifiting the boxes of maternity and breastfeeding tees i had delivered last week. OK i so i know there were ALOT of them but i honestly didn’t do the major part of the lifting, if anyone should have a bad back it’s matthew.

Maybe it;s my computer chair thats making my back out of allignment or something. After all i literally live in the thing, i’m always on my PC nowadays. Perhaps i should invest in an upgrade and go for a chair that wasn’t a reject from a skip ha ha you think i’m joking, but whats rubbish to some people is another mans gold (or womens!!).

The new nursing tees are fantastic it must be said. I am having one screened up with the eightball design for myself, there is one perk to this job, i get to wear the first screend breastfeeding tee…and before anyone asks no i am not pregnant or breastfeeding the shirt just totally rocks and you can’t even tell it’s a nursing one so it’s awesome. Like i always say our tees are and investment, you don;t have to stop wearing them just because you don;t breastfeed anymore.

For any other people who are intersted in business and you are based in Bristol you should seriously think about coming to the Bristol start up live talk. http://www.startupslive.co.uk/ . It’s really good for networking and listening to the really inspirational talks by business people who have “made it”.

Last year i went and Tim Smit the founder of the eden project was a guest speaker, and he was fabulous. So funny, so enthausiastic and really pushed the point of not letting people deter you from what YOU really wanna do. The previous year Rachel Elnaugh spoke and again she was a real motivational person, fabulous choice of speaker i thought. Just shows you can be a women and have childrn and run your own big business.

Honestly check out start-up uk it’s cool and come and say hi.

Mama Feelsgood – Funky matenity & Breastfeeding tees.

Whoa today is a BIG day in the hostory of Mama Feelsgood, we are getting our second big delivery in and it’s going to be a back breaker. Hey we don’t need forklift trucks or any fancy machines like that when you have a husband!!

No honestly we recently have got a small storage warehouse for all our new breastfeeding T-shirts   but there is no facility for forklifts (not that we would buy one, those monsters cost a fortune) so it’s a couple os sack trucks , me, matthew and matthew dad John oh and of course Amelia supervising ha ha.

This was the size of the first truck which came, so we aren’t talking mini truck or anyhting. Poop i wish i had bigger muscles, i expect my back will go by just looking at the boxes. hee hee.

Anyways the goodies on the truck totally out weigh the back breaking work. We have re jigged our nursing Tops design  and so all our new nursing shirts from now on will have a 90% cotton lycra underlayer, so it gives it a little extra stretch.

We’ll let you know when they are ready for purchase guys.

Well christmas is really not very far away, and if you are shrewd i’d get your christmas shopping in early this year. Don’t know about you but i always end up spending more on pressies when i leave it later. anyways we are just about to do another run to the screen printers for our tees, so just to update you we are getting 

more Kat Breastfeeding T-shirts (Grey) in soon, in all the sizes ie 8-18 .

We are also going to get some more Island Nursing  tops in white in all the sizes, so keep an eye out for them. We are also getting a new design, can’t say too much until it’s out but we love it and it’s quite cute but with a Twist!!

Mama Feelsgood- if you wanna breastfeed you gotts do it in style!
