breastfeeding | A Mummy Too

I can’t find my bra – me, most days, because I’m a ‘nana

Now I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with posh underwear, but for daily comfort – especially if you’re breastfeeding – I don’t think you can beat M&S.

So when I was asked to try out something from the M&S lingerie range, I decided to skip the nursing bras since Miss J doesn’t feed constantly anymore and head straight for support and comfort with the 2 Pack – Cotton Blend Assorted Non-Wired Padded T-Shirt Bras, priced at £16.00.

They’re good, practical bras. Comfortable, soft and supportive. They barely show under clothes and wash really well, as I discovered when I spilled half a cup of tea over them when getting them out of the packaging. Yeah, yeah, laugh it up.

They don’t unhook from the strap like a nursing bra, but they do undo at the back and lift up easily enough for crafty feeds when you’re out and about.

If you’re transitioning from baby nursing to toddler nursing, or just want a bra that’s comfortable, breathable and underwire free, these ones are pretty good.

Disclosure: M&S sent me a pair of bras to review. No payment was received. All posts are 100% honest.

And then it goes tshhhhhhh and all the snot comes out! – JD, 4

Several months go, I was sent a Stérimar Baby natural seawater base nasal spray for review, which I duly stored in the cupboard ready for when Little Miss J faced her first cold.

With JD regularly attending that little germ factory we call preschool, it wasn’t long before he brought home a nice fresh cold and Little Miss J became all red eyes and snotty nose. It’s heart breaking seeing a baby not able to feed properly and Stérimar Baby did the job of clearing her nose brilliantly – you can read my full review here.

Fast forward a few months and we’ve used Stérimar regularly – it not only clears her nasal passages, it keeps them clean and stops the infection getting as nasty as it otherwise might. And a big bonus is that it’s totally natural, so you can use it as much as you like without fear of overdose.

I use the adult version for myself and have raved about it at nursery and baby group, so when Stérimar asked me to work with them as an ambassador, sharing the benefits of the nasal spray with other mums, I was happy to go ahead.

One of the main things I’ll be doing as an ambassador is spending time on the new Stérimar Baby Facebook Page with experts and other mums, talking through our experiences and sharing thoughts on all things parenting related.
