When I received an email about the Au Fait Mama breastfeeding scarf, I couldn’t think of anyone better to test it out than Taya Griffin. You can read more about Taya – a lactation counsellor – on her website, and you can read more about her pre-natal breastfeeding class in this guest review. ************************************************************* I’m shocked…
“The keys to breastfeeding success”: prenatal education with lactation counsellor Taya Griffin (guest review)
Guest reviewer Cynthia had the opportunity to take a breastfeeding preparation class with Taya Griffin, arguably one of the Greater Toronto Area’s finest lactation counsellors (and I’m not just saying that because she’s a friend of mine). Taya studied at the renowned Newman Breastfeeding Clinic, and is committed to helping women understand the realities, benefits and…
Milk Diary breastfeeding top & other nursingwear
As I nursed Miss Q off to sleep tonight, convinced that she managed to skirt the latest flu – that took down the rest of her family and most of her neighbourhood friends – because she’s still breastfeeding and getting all those delicious antibodies, I wondered just how much longer this would go on. I’d…
Pump Strap hands-free portable pumping bra (guest review)
When I’m asked to review something that I can’t test with my own family, I turn to my Facebook page and offer my readers a guest review opportunity. These guest reviewers (a.k.a. parents) receive the products for free and get to keep them in exchange for their honest reviews. Like my own reviews on Mommy…
My Brest Friend – your breastfeeding buddy
When I was pregnant with The K Man, there were some things that I researched to death before I bought them, while others were purchased with much more spontaneity. As I wandered through a baby store one sunny afternoon when I was about eight months along, I stopped in front of the breastfeeding pillows. There…
Simple Wishes hands-free pumping bra (guest review)
Every now and then I get asked to review something that doesn’t quite work for me – either it’s for the wrong age or it’s for something related to pregnancy or a stage of breastfeeding that no longer applies to me. Instead of turning down opportunities to introduce you to new products, and help determine…
BOOB Design: The B • Warmer & other best breastfeeding tops
If you told me a few years ago that I’d use my nursing wear for as long as I have – altogether between two kids, going on 30 months (with no end in sight) – I’m not sure I’d have believed you. See, although I always planned to breastfeed, I was met with this recurring…
Rock•ease by Teethease: the fashionable teether
There have got to be babies out there who don’t gnaw on everything in sight. I have no first-hand knowledge of this kind of baby, though. Both of mine mouth(ed) everything. Anything. But both have also been easy teethers; maybe there’s a connection? I remember being at a park with The K Man when he…
Utterly Yours breastfeeding pillow
If you have perfect, perky A- or B-cup breasts, this post isn’t for you. If you’re a nursing mama, and wear anything bigger than a B-cup, though, you’re probably no stranger to this scenario: lovingly cradling your baby in the crook of one arm, you support your boob with the other hand to ensure a…
GR8X Inflatable Nursing Pillow
If you’re a new Mom or Dad reading this, you’ll understand. Surely there’s been at least one time that you’ve thought of something and decided that a patent might be wise, lest the idea be stolen from the clutches of your grey matter only to show up in mass production at Babies ‘R Us making…
