Glamourmom Review *GIVEAWAY*
12:14 PM Posted by Erin
Even before my daughter was born, I just knew I wanted to breastfeed. I was bound and determined that failure was not an option. We mucked through some very difficult first days, battling our obstacles, until finally I shut the two of us in my room and worked until we figured it all out, emerging a successful nursing mom and baby. After that, it was time to venture outside of the house and into the world. But with that came the new stress of finding ways to discretely nurse in public. Thus began my search for the perfect nursing tank. I tried several brands before finally discovering Glamourmom. I'd seen them in magazines and online but I wondered how different can one top be from the next? I was pleasantly surprised when I received their Glamourmom Nursing Bra Long Tank in navy to review.
The top stands apart from others in several ways; first off the stretch factor. Glamourmom's tanks are wonderfully constructed with 92% cotton, 8% elastane. Other tops that I've tried don't have as much recovery which means they lose their shape quickly and soon your top is loose and unflattering but the Glamourmom tank retained its shape and looked exactly the same after several washings. Next the mesh lining of the built in soft cup nursing bra keeps moisture away from the skin which is exactly what every woman wants. Finally, the length of the long tank I tried was awesome especially with those extra postpartum pounds, you can feel comfortable and less worried about ride up or exposing your tummy or back. Extra inches also make it a perfect transition tank for the last few months of pregnancy. Glamourmom isn't just stuck on tanks anymore either. They've brought their wonderful style to pyjamas, swimsuits, and slip dresses as well. Although their prices aren't exactly cheap with tanks running $34-$39, they do have limited stock items and a Color of the Month option for slightly less. However, don't consider this a splurge if you're a nursing mom. You'll love this tank and want to wear it every day. It's the essential stand alone top but thin enough to layer too. Glamourmom is available for purchase at Belly Dance Maternity or online at Glamourmom.com where you'll receive free shipping with the code TMCS34 until May 15th.

Breastfeeding story: while out to dinner, my daughter insisted on nursing, and I didn't have a blanket. I covered up with a cloth napkin, but she kept pulling off. This dirty old man kept staring getting a free show! Eww!

I nursed my son for quite a while, so when my daughter weened herself at a year I was kind of sad. it's such a wonderful bonding experience. I had the same issue with my son, he just did not seem to catch on. but through lot's of support from friends and family we made it through and he became a little nursling pro!

Breastfeeding story - My DH and I went to a summer festival last year and left the baby with my parent. It was an all day event, so I had to pump there. Now I wasn't about to pump in a port-a-potty, so I brought my coverup. I put on the coverup and pumped and all the while, this lady was looking at me with that "aww how sweet, she's nursing" look. Well I will never forget the mixed look of shock and disgust, when I pulled back the cover and proceeded to dump my milk on the ground next to us (I had been drinking, so pump and dump it was!) We laughed about that look for weeks! Thanks! thebubbledies(at)gmail(dot)com

I had to be a bit inventive when I brestfed--without too many details, let's just say I didn't want to smother my child, so I had to learn to breastfeed lying down on my side in the bed, then it was smooth sailing for both of us! I was comfortable and my daughter could eat and breath at the same time!

Zealand, my now 18 momth old, was about 7 months when he learned to sit up and nurse. He would literally sit on my lap, outward to see what was going on, with his head ever so slightly turned on my breast to feed. He though it was dinner and a show! And my breastfeeding group couldn't believe it was even a possible nurse that way!!!

i have so many great nursing stories. i am a BFAR mom, and have had to struggle at certain points to maintain a healthy and positive nursing relationship with my seet lil girl, who just recently turned 21 months old. my favorite time of the day is nap time, where she will lead me by the hand and climb into bed and say "nummy milks please mommy, nummy milsk time" and i will say "oh you look happy! are you happy?" and she says "yes, Neevy Happy!" and clapp her hands and squeel and giggle as she dives for her nummy milks. it warms my heart every time :)

I love the Nursing Bra Tank Top! The funniest story about nursing my 8 week old daughter is the trip I took with her from Hawaii to Maine. My husband and I are in the Army and were stationed in Hawaii when our daughter was born. As he had to deploy for Afghanistan for a year I decided to get out and become a civilian so I could spend more time with our daughter. I had decided to travel stand-by on a military plane as it was too expensive to take a commercial flight. First giant mistake!! After waiting for hours and hours to get a flight, it was announced that a flight was leaving in a few minutes with a seat available. I swear I hurdled over dozens of people with daughter in arms to get that seat. To my surprise the seat were sling seats! I buckled myself and my daughter in the seat and kept asking myself "did you not lose your mind!!" About a hour into the flight my daughter decided it was time to eat. The only bathroom on the flight was a a big blanket in the front of the plane covering a porta potty. I decided to try to breastfeed my daughter in my seat. I was so discreet (covering myself and her in a blanket) and doing so well until we hit turblulence. The sling seats and I started to rock to and fro, to and fro. My breast and blanket and daughter swung along with the plane. You could just see the horror on the other soldiers faces as they were so afraid that my breasts might come too close to them! Well, the turbulence died down, my daughter slept like a baby and I think that my face is still beet red!

I love the Glamourmom Nursing Bra Tank Lace V-Neck (black w/lace) in a large.
I've nursed all of my 5 kids exclusively. I'm currently nursing my 7 month old twins and just love when they hold hands while they're nursing. It is the sweetest thing to watch :)
