bras4mums launch innovative products to pregnant and breastfeeding Mums at the Birmingham Baby Show

May 15th, 2012

bras4mums are delighted to be launching two new companies at the Birmingham Baby Show, NEC on 18th May. Both bring innovation to the maternity and nursing clothing market with their clever designs and a focus on value for money and longevity of use.

Lorna Drew nursing bras have special clips designed to be adjusted up to 3 cup sizes, and can be worn during pregnancy, breastfeeding and beyond. Seren Maternity designs bring quality in design to maternity and nursing clothes. The fabric has been cleverly cut and finished to ensure the products can be worn during pregnancy, breastfeeding and beyond.

Women’s bodies change so much during their pregnancy and when breastfeeding, it’s often difficult to get bras and clothes that will last throughout. bras4mums are delighted to have come across these two new designers and are pleased to bring them to the mass market at the Baby Show.

T-J, owner of bras4mums, said, “We know that women want to get more wear from their maternity and breastfeeding clothes, and not just wearing them for their next baby! Lorna Drew and Seren Designs are really leading the market to ensure women get the value for money with good looking and fitting products that will last more than a couple of months!”.

Friday 18th May will see the launch of both Lorna Drew and Seren Designs on stand H8. A pregnant Mum of 1, Jessica Guglielmetti, will be modelling the Lorna Drew nursing bras and talking about her own experiences.

Jessica said, “I wanted to do this to show new mums that your changing body shape isn’t a taboo subject and that you

can be confident in yourself whilst breastfeeding/pregnant. I am determined to invest in some “decent” maternity/nursing wear as last time I didn’t realise what was out there and available until near the end of my breastfeeding time. bras4mums offer great advice and service, so I’m delighted to be one of the first women to try out the new products.”

bras4mums, will be offering a free bra fitting service at the show with a wide range of products, including the popular HOTmilk, Royce, Bravado and Emma Jane ranges. Customers will be able to try the Seren Designs products with their newly fitted bras and take advantage of the many show offers available.

The first six months

May 12th, 2012

1) The baby always calls the shots. You might like to think little one can be put into a routine; fact is they’ll only do what they want when they want. They choose when you eat, sleep, bathe….everything you want to do is dependent on them.

2) You won’t start to feel remotely like a human being until six months (five months if you’re lucky). This is when newborn becomes a baby and when you start getting some elements of your life back!

3) No matter how house-proud you once were your living room will look like a fairground.

4) Breastfeeding is hard work. It does get easier around 6, 10, 12 and 20 weeks.

5) You need to have ‘you’ time. Make sure you have time to yourself. Ask a friend to come over so you can have an uninterrupted bath or you and your partner can ‘reconnect’. The first few times away from baby are hard, you will feel guilty but you are not bad for wanting time for yourself! If you have no one to look after baby Activity Centres were made so you can eat a full meal or drink a hot cuppa. Invest!

April 26th, 2012

We’re not known for stocking maternity clothes, as we focus on maternity and nursing bras. HOWEVER, when we come across something like Seren Maternity Designs, we get excited, run away with ourselves and then want to offer them to our customers! (Yes, we do get excited here at bras4mums HQ!).

So, we’re delighted to bring to you three new products by Seren Maternity that we believe you’ll love. Value for money, good quality products that are designed to last during your pregnancy, breastfeeding, post baby and beyond! The styling is very clever and Seren say about themselves, “All of our clothes are dual-purpose and designed to work throughout the whole of a pregnancy, help the wearer enjoy discrete and comfortable breastfeeding after the birth, and to still be wearable long after the baby years are over.” Read the rest of this entry »
