Feeding the Little Guy

Baby's First Photo Bomb
Well, the little guy is over 3 weeks old now and in true boy fashion he likes to spend a good portion of his day eating. From what I know of boys it will just get more intense (and more expensive) from here. It's neat though, getting to bond with him in that way. I have something he needs that no one else can give him. He certainly knows his mama too, he starts to smack his lips and wiggle around when he hears my voice. As an added bonus for me, his constant desire to eat means I am back in my regular clothes for the most part. Thanks buddy! :)

Something I didn't consider? Planning my wardrobe for feeding him. Sure, I bought A nursing bra, but that was about it. Turns out you need many nursing bras and nursing tanks! Trust me on this, when your screaming child wants to eat, you want something that gives you easy access to what he wants!

Luckily, Leading Lady (You can find them on Facebook too!) contacted me about reviewing two of their products. They are a family owned and operated company that offers full figure and nursing items. Plus, they support the military and ship to APO addresses which is a HUGE plus in my book.

I choose to review the Molded Seamless Wire Free bra and the Nursing Bra Cami with Inner Sling.



As I was unsure of my size I used the size chart on the site. For the tank it worked great, for the bra I think I should have measured before a feeding session and not after. I think if I went with my usual size that would have worked too. Both the tank and bra are very comfortable. I like not having wires! The tank is especially nice because I can keep my stomach covered while I feed him, which makes me feel more comfortable. Both items were high in quality and very reasonably priced. Also, both items were easy to hook and unhook one handed, which is very important particularly when dealing with a tiny baby who needs my full attention! The bra looks like any traditional bra and is not as high cut as many on the market, making it easy to wear with most things. It looks smooth under shirts, even with nursing pads inside. The shipping process was ultra fast, which is nice when you are in need of nursing items like, um, yesterday.  

Do you need some nursing, maternity, or full figure items? Good news! As a show of support for the military and our country, Leading Lady is offering 20% off sitewide for military friends and family from now until July 7th! Use code MBLOG20 for your discount! I know you will be just as happy with your items as I am, particularly with such a nice discount offer.

Alright, little man is crying, you know what that means...

Leading Lady provided me with the two items described in exchange for my review. 
The thoughts expressed are my own and honestly reflect my evaluation of the products.

thank you so much! I need a new nursing bra and we are stationed in Germany. I don't like most of what is offered locally, so I need to buy online anyway.

Thank you, and congratulations on your little miracle! :)

Congratulations on your little guy! I'm newly married to a marine, and I was just searching some blogs that touched upon the subject. Great info about the company that supports the military and offers a discount. Gotta love that! You are in great shape! Did you work out through your pregnancy?
