Mama Feels Good

Rattle & Hum breastfeeding top

Day 7 and it’s the final day of our breastfeeding clothing sale. It’s our super funky Rattle & Hum nursing T-shirt up for the super reduced price of £11,99.

This is one cool nursing shirt, so much going on in the design that you’ll find more and more things to love the longer you wear it!

For how the breastfeeding part of the shirt works look at the picture below.

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 tees 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 pictures below

If you prefer a baggy fit go 1 size up.

So the job begins of clearing out our old stock room to move to the new premises , there are loads of boxes all of which i thought were pretty organized hahaarrr how wrong i can be.

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

As mentioned in our blog post yesterday we are going to keep you updated in our nursing tops stock situation as many of the tops available in our sale section are going fast.

Just a heads up on our Ray gun nursing top in pink ( long sleeve nursing top) it is now sold out in all sizes except xs (we have 2 left, and xl arge we have about 5 left), they are such a cool design, very 1950′s A movie feel about them, or kinda comic strip.

Ray gun nursing top

For £12.99 these nursing tops are an absolute steal, very good quality cotton shirts that are super funky and also provide something interesting for your children to look as whilst they breast feed.

Our ray gun graphic prints will not be re-printed so once gone that’s it;s .

OK dudes just a little running commentary on what stock we have got left in our sale nursing tops section.

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.

Be warned this is from ages ago but i just noticed i never scanned the original article in for you guys to see and i was checking out the Bristol Evening Post’s website and found this article they wrote on us last year.

OK what is a breastfeeding top also known as a nursing top?

Our nursing tops are designed so there is a top layer shirt – looks just like a regular shirt, you can’t tell from looking at it that it’s designed for breastfeeding. So no flaps, poppers,and there is no chance your bossom will fall out. Everything is covered!

Here’s on of our breastfeeding tops to ilustrate:

So now it’s time for where the magic happens! Sewn into the nursing shirt is an under layer shirt.

This under layer works via 2 larger openings placed under neath the arms. So when it’s time to breastfeed you lift up the top shirt and pull the under layer to one side and hey presto boobie available for feeding.

No post baby tummy is on show because it’s covered completely by the underlayer, and the top shirt helps cover your boobs when feeding.

Heres a picture of the nursing openings:

Each layer of the shirt are sewn together so when you put the shirt on or when you are breastfeeding one shirt won’t move around and become uncomfortable.

Also because the under layer shirt is made with spandex in it (95% cotton 5% spandex) it can stretch to accomodate the larger bust. As we know during breastfeeding sometimes your breasts can become engorged and change in size at different feeding times/ during the day and the extra stretch in the shirt allows for this.

With the top shirt being 100% cotton this is fantastic for sopping up little spills of milk. So if you are out and about and your baby or yourself makes a little mess try and aim for the under layer of the breastfeeding shirt and then no one will see when the top layer is pulled back down!!

We’re really trying to make mums life that little bit easier and provide nursing clothing that is yet functional and nice to wear! No more ugly tops for you mummy!

We are always open to suggestions, so if there are any comments you would like to add please feel free, we’d love to hear from you.

Mama Feelsgood is a family run business which is totally dedicated to providing breastfeeding clothing to women whom want to look more individual and feel more themselves.

I’m not saying men don’t understand but sometimes when i look at some maternity & breastfeeding clothing lines i think to myself “a man must have designed that” !!!

Unlike some stores  we try to keep the price of our nursing tops and maternity T-shirts to an affordable level, and always provide high quality fabric in our shirts and really deliver something you will be proud to wear.

You can have a functional breast feeding top and still look good, there is no law to say you can’t ! We are bringing out a larger range of nursing tops later this year, and before the year ends plan to add a larger range of breastfeeding tops ie styles to our collection. So all you nursing mums out there keep your eye peeled

Wow whats up with all the Buffy the vampire cast they are all having babies!!

Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. are expecting their first child together, a source close to the couple confirms exclusively to PEOPLE. “They’re very excited,” says the source, adding that the actress, 31, is due in the autumn.

Gellar, who has been married to Prinze, 33, for six years and starred along with him in the Scobby Doo film will have her biggest role yet …a mum

Funny because David Boreanz or Angel is expecting a baby too, so Buffy & Angel are both having babies!!

We are all about progression here at Mama Feelsgood and we really wanted to know as a nursing mother which kinds of breastfeeding tops ie the mechanisms they use to feed do you prefer?

Do you like our current method of breastfeeding tops which work on a double shirt method, you basically lift up the top shirt and underneath is another shirt but with double openings so you have your stomach covered at all times along with your back.

There are other methods of nursing opening, tops which you pull down to feed your baby rather than pull up.

Shirts which are wrap / cross over style which you can pull to one side to feed your baby. Which do you think you would prefer?

There are even breastfeeding tops which have a built in shrug, but to be honest i think these look abit hideous (just my personal opinon).

We really want to enourage ladies not to feel intimidated to feed their babies whilst out and about in public and providing good funky breastfeeding clothing can only help the situation. You don;t want to buy a top because it does the job you’ve got to like the top too and thats what we are really trying to do here at Mama Feelsgood, just like then name suggests we want mama’s to feel good in themselves.
