Bravado Nursing Bra Sale

So after my first pregnancy, I didn't know what to expect when it came to breastfeeding. I knew it would be hard, but boy was that an understatement! Finding a good nursing bra didn't make things any easier. I bought a couple from Motherhood, and a couple from Target, and I don't think they lasted more than a few weeks. They were either too uncomfortable or the clasps broke. I vowed that the next time I would do a little more research and spend whatever it took to be as comfortable as possible. I really think getting a comfortable and durable nursing bra can make or break your breastfeeding experience. So after having my second baby, I bought a Bravado nursing bra. They're a little spendy, mind you, but definitely worth it. I'd rather buy two bras that I actually like and end up using, instead of five or six cheaper bras that end up breaking or sitting in the dresser. Bravado doesn't have sales very often, so I thought I'd better pass the word on to those of you that might be in the market for a good bra. Get 20% off your entire purchase with code "SUM-194". The coupon is only valid through Monday. I'd love to hear for my next go around, what nursing bra brands do you LOVE?

Happy Birthday to Us, Ice Cream for YOU!

It's our birthday! Milan Maternity is one year old! We really wanted to do something fun and send everyone that places an order on our birthday cake and ice cream, but that could get pretty darn messy. So...on Tuesday, July 20th, the first 25 people to place an order of at least $50, will get a Cold Stone Creamery gift card included with their order. Plus, get 15% off your entire order with coupon code "BIRTHDAY", valid Tuesday only. Sounds pretty sweet to me! New clothes at a discount AND ice cream. Now you'll just need a jar of pickles to make it all complete.

Let me slip into something more comfortable...a maternity unitard?

So...I'm a huge fan of Project Runway. Love that show. So, naturally, I was really excited to hear that Heidi Klum was launching a maternity line of clothing exclusively for Pea in the Pod and Motherhood. Her line was available mid-February of this year, and I have to say, I was a little disappointed. I expected a little bit more from Heidi. There weren't any pieces that I absolutely loved, and this one...was pretty much just funny.

Here we have a super sexy maternity unitard that I'm sure will flatter and accentuate your pregnant body in all the right places; the ankles, (or should I say cankles), the thighs, butt, and hips. And I won't even go into how easy it would be to get it on and off, especially when you have to pee every 20 minutes. And in public? You'd have to get naked just to go to the bathroom. I don't know about you, but I think I'll pass on this one. But if you've got a body like Victoria Beckham, (who could probably pull it off), you can snag this one on sale for only $22.99, down from $95. You can view both Heidi's Pea in the Pod Lavish and Motherhood Loved collection lines here. Do you love it as much as I do?

Give me my body back!

I recently came across a blog that I now LOVE, and I just had to share. A Daily Dose of Dieting offers daily tips and information on dieting, healthy recipes, exercise, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle and weight. And for those of us that take "eating for two" during pregnancy quite literally during pregnancy, (heck, now that I look back on it, I think I was eating for four or five), A Daily Dose of Dieting is a great place for inspiration and motivation to get you back on track, and get your body back!



The author, Ashley just had a baby and is posting about her weight loss journey as she loses the baby weight while breastfeeding. Be sure to look through her past maternity posts for a wealth of information about maintaining a healthy lifestyle and exercise throughout pregnancy.
