Warm Milk’s Baby Hobo Convertible Diaper Bag ($95) converts into a nursing pillow. Just take this awesome diaper bag (which we’ll talk about later) and place on your lap (make sure it’s zipped shut first), and then clip it around your waist (using the shoulder strap) and pull it snug. It will fit mommies of all sizes. Then lift up the secured flap and unzip around to reveal the plush pillow. Place baby on the pillow and you’re good to go!

You can place a water bottle and a book in the pockets that hang down (so you can be comfy while you nurse). When you’re done, zip it back up (hint, do it BEFORE you stand up, so it doesn’t go flying). The diaper bag, has an insane amount of pockets (17), both inside and outside, a cushioned changing pad, 2 insulated bottle pockets with a cinch cord (so you can contain spills), stroller attachment rings (any brand of stroller connectors should work -we used Fleurville’s), and the adjustable, cushy non-slip shoulder strap. And another reason to love the Baby Hobo Convertible Diaper Bag – I can pack it full and it’s still light and easy to carry. The dual functionality of this diaper bag is terrific and it really did help me to breastfeed out of the house.

The company, founded by Patricia and Markus Peters, just introduced two new luxe styles, the Black Swan and Pink Celestial Dragon — which will be on sale in October.

We’ve reviewed a heck of a lot of breastfeeding products over the years – some great, some not so great.  So for this week, I went straight to the source:

I asked some Moms who have or are breastfeeding what their favorite products were and this is what they came up with -

Bebe Au Lait

Jen from After the Alter and Mommies with Style loves her Bebe Au Lait.  She uses it with her son and loves that it allows her to “feed my son wherever, whenever, without feeling exposed!”  I loved my Bebe Au Lait too (as you can see from the photo with my second son years ago)!

Bamboobies

Danielle Friedland from Giggle  said that besides her boobs being the best product of all (of course!),  she loved her Bamboobies, washable nursing pads that prevent leakage!

My Brest Friend Nursing Pillow

Ciaran from Momfluential said her best friend was her Brest Friend nursing pillow.

Glamourmom Nursing Tank

Julie and I both loved our Glamourmom Nursing Tanks.  These tanks were the best – they hold in your stomach yet provide easy access for nursing on the go.

Lansinoh Lanolin

My friend Stefanie relied on Lansinoh Lanolin to help with chapped nipples and lips for she and baby.

What about you?  What are your favorite breastfeeding products?

Every nursing mom knows the dread you feel every time you go to buy a nursing bra, only to find yet another bland nude colored one. Yes, the nude bra goes with everything, but it certainly does not help to make you feel at all attractive. And who doesn’t want to feel attractive sometimes? Why can’t there be a nursing bra that mimics “regular” lingerie? That way you can nurse, and feel pretty at the same time. Ladies…the good news that there are nursing bras that can do that. You can find  a bunch of options with You! Lingerie ! A pretty solution to the a common nursing bra problem.

You! Lingerie’s mission is to make new mommies, and mommies to be to feel confident and look beautiful every day. That’s a wonderful goal if you ask me. The bras provide a perfect balance between functionality, support and comfort with out sacrificing style.

Here are some great and unique features that make You! Lingerie bras ($29.99-$34.99) special.

• Soft cups (no under wire) for maximum comfort when breasts are at their fullest to accommodate their size.
• Luxurious fabrics and sexy colors with soft cotton lining to prevent chafing
• Easy and convenient nursing clips for one handed opening
• Matching panties to make the lingerie all come together

I personally liked the Isis blue bra and panty set. The colors were so fun and playful! The moment I put it on I was hooked. The bra was extremely comfortable, and the matching panties were a great fit. Very true to size. That is very important when ordering a bra…knowing that it will fit.

You! Lingerie would also make a great gift! Mom’s never think about themselves, so why not treat them! Going to a shower? How about for the lingerie line?

It’s time for mom’s to feel sexy again, and a You! Lingerie bra and panty set is a great way to start.

I was looking at pictures of myself from my last two births, and honestly, that big, gross, ugly hospital gown couldn’t have made me look any worse. I understand childbirth may not be the most glamorous time for a woman’s appearance, but really, those hospital gowns don’t fit, expose everything, and don’t do anything to make you feel special on your extra-special day.

Enter dearjohnnies designer hospital gowns. These beautiful gowns are soft, well-fitting, beautiful, and are hospital friendly with snaps on the sleeves and down the back, allowing easy access for breastfeeding, IV lines, etc. They are perfect to wear while laboring and giving birth, afterwards, or at home for ease and comfort. I plan to wear mine when I labor and deliver so I look and feel as good as I can!

The gowns are made of 100% cotton in a number of beautiful prints, trimmed with grosgrain ribbon. dearjohnnies also makes coordinating robes made of cozy, yet lightweight, 100% cotton flannel, trimmed with fabric from their pretty Wellesley Collection. The robes are perfect to wear while laboring and walking, for added warmth and comfort, or just for additional coverage. Monogramming is available on the robes as well as every piece in their collection!

Each gown is sized so that you have the perfect fit (instead of the huge, unisex hospital gown that always seems to be open or falling off).Sizes include XS, S/M, and L/XL.

Celebrities love dearjohnnies and have many wonderful things to say about them. dearjohnnies also make great gifts for any mom-to-be, and come wrapped in a ready-to-gift bag.

I am so excited to meet my new baby and the first step when I get to the hospital will be to put my dearjohnnies gown on. I can’t wait!

I was provided with a complimentary dearjohnnies gown and robe for the purpose of this review. As always, all opinions expressed here are my own.

As a breastfeeding mom I am sometimes forced to feed my son in places other than my couch. Luckily I am not extremely shy about it, but there still is a need to cover up. I have a nursing cover, but sometimes it’s just to big and bulky to carry around in my already full diaper bag. For times like that it’s nice to have something small and versatile like The Cover Me Strap.

The Cover Me Strap ($12) is an adjustable strap that clasps onto any blanket or towel so that it instantly becomes a nursing cover! It is certainly a less expensive option to a large bulky nursing cover. The strap comes in twelve different colors and patterns that is sure to suit everyone’s needs. I loved that I was able to easily throw the strap in my purse and diaper bag. It definitely gave some truth to the saying “less is sometimes more!”

The Cover Me Strap can be used for many other things too!

• Nursing Cover (bib style)
• Nursing Cover (diagonal style)
• Bib Clip
• Sun Blocker
• Blanket Keeper
• Lovey Leash

I like the lovey leash idea! I am sure soon enough my little guy will be throwing stuff out of his stroller. Having it safe and sound attached to The Cover Me Strap sounds good to me!

Now you may get the chance to try one for FREE! One Mommies With Style reader will win a Cover Me Strap of their very own! The winner will be drawn on Sunday April 17th.  Here’s how to enter…

As a nursing mom I am torn when it comes to nursing bras…I don’t want to buy alot because lets face it eventually I will be finished nursing and I won’t need them. But then I find that if I don’t have enough, I am constantly washing the ones I have. And who has time for that? So I am always happy to get a new nursing bra, and I was excited to try the Allure Underwire Nursing bra from Bravado! ($54 from Bare Necessities).

I waited a little while to go with the underwire nursing bra because I heard that it’s important to not use one until your milk fully comes in. But now that it has, I was ready to give the girls some more support! I went a little crazy and got the bra in Black! That’s right, I strayed from the beige and the white! Shame on me right? Nah! I loved the look of this bra with the lace features. It made the bra feel a little more feminine and less like all the other nursing bras I have.

The one negative I found with this bra was the sizing. I feel like it runs a bit big, so keep that in mind when ordering for yourself through Bare Necessities. One thing nursing breasts done need is less support, fit is very important. All in all I was pleased with the Bravado brand bra, and extremely pleased with Bare Necessities!

If underwire is not your thing, be sure to check out the Bare Necessities site for tons of other nursing bras in many different styles and price ranges. They have something for everyone!

One of my favorite features was the built-in bottle holders on the purple pump unit, so I didn’t knock the bottles over (yes, that’s happened to me before and I do cry over spilled milk). The pump is designed for everyday long term use and I was really happy with how it performed. It’s guaranteed to prevent milk backup in the tubing & pump and everything is BPA free. The pump comes with two extra white valves, two bottles and caps for pumping.  It doesn’t fit the same size bottles I have from another company, so I recommend purchasing more bottles if you plan on pumping often. I wish that I could use Lansinoh Breastmilk Storage Bags to pump directly into, but they do not work with it (too bad, because I love them).

All parts can be steam-sterilized in a microwave bag except the tubing which never needs to be cleaned or sterilized because it does not come into contact with breastmilk. You can also use boiling water to sterilize as well.

If you are going to store your milk – here are the guidelines on the Lansinoh website.

Thank you to Lansinoh for providing the Affinity Double Electric Breast Pump for product testing purposes.

When it comes to nursing comfort is key in my book. As a matter of fact, since I have pretty much been home bound, I basically wear anything comfortable that makes nursing as easy as possible. That means nothing at all fashionable. Thus far I have stuck to zippered sweat shirts, and nursing tanks. Things like that have been my day time wardrobe, but when it comes to the night time, I have found a GREAT pair of pajamas that not only are comfortable…but a little sexy too! The brand is HOTmilk, and I am in love with this pair of pajamas.  It’s time for this mama to feel sexy again!

HOTmilk is a brand that sells nursing lingerie. So many of the nursing items out there are so basic and plain (can you say beige??)…which most of the time is ok. But sometimes a woman  wants to feel pretty even when wearing nursing items,  and that’s where HOTmilk comes in. They sell nursing bras with matching underwear and pajamas. All the items are feminine and pretty. A feeling I don’t always get to feel with undone hair and sweatpants.

There are so many factors that are great about this pair of pajamas. The pair I received are no longer available, but the ones pictured above are close.  They are called “Delighted by her victory” (Top: $24.80/Bottoms $24.60). My favorite part is that you don’t have to wear a separate nursing bra. The camisole offers great support, and a place for nursing pads right in the top! I also love the snap down straps that make it easy to drop each side for easy feeding. The bottoms are great too! They are comfortable and fit great.

Can you tell that I love these pajamas? I really do! I may get another pair because I get so sad when this pair is in the wash! HOTMilk pajamas get an A+!

HOTmilk provided me with a pair of pajamas for the purposes of this review. As always all thoughts and opinions are my own.

More than diapers at Diapers.com?  I was curious to see how the site had grown since my last child potty trained and was pleasantly surprised at how much their offering had expanded since the last time I ordered.

I placed a big order for several products, none of which was diapers!  I got toys for my kids for Christmas, clothes and skin care products for my kids.  In searching for various products, I was able to find everything I was looking for.  Check out the array of Legos they offer!  (My kids are so into Legos right now, I was impressed with their selection.)

I also ordered this adorable Tea Collection Lion Double Decker Tee.  Then I was out of hand soap so I hopped over to body care and ordered several bottles of Burts Beeds Hand Soap.  Bottom line being that their offering has moved beyond diapers and their prices are competitive.  (Free shipping over $49!)

Just to give you an example the vast assortment of products you can buy for your family’s needs, check out this random assortment of products you can buy on Diapers.com:

Bravado Designs Nursing Tank - $49

Fisher Price IxL Learning System - $89.99

Basq Cucumber Tea Eye Gel - $24

3-pack of EPT Pregnancy Stick Tests - $13.99

Lego City Seaplane - $9.49

Shipping is free when your order is over $49 and no joke, my order came in a day and a half. They promise 1-2 day shipping and I placed my order late one night. It came not the next day but early the following morning; roughly 36 hours.
