Blogiversary Celebration – Melinda G Nursing Bras – CLOSED

I discovered Melinda G because my friend Amy recommended them to me. Amy has had 4 kids and breastfed each one for 1.5 to 2 years – so when it came to nursing bras, she had a lot of experience! When she told me about how wonderful the Melinda G bras were, I immediately checked them out and added them to my store. I contacted Melinda and she was super nice to work with and she made adding a line of bras to my store so easy! I can’t tell you how happy I am that I found this line!

My absolute favorite nursing bra of all time is the Melinda G Tee-Shirt Underwire Nursing Bra. This bra is fantastic for a number of reasons.
1) It is an underwire bra that accommodates a large bust.
2) It has a padded underwire, making it the most comfortable underwire bra I have ever worn.
3) It has 3 nursing clips, so you can adjust your cup size to fit your breasts – if they are fuller in the AM vs. the PM or at 3 months post-partum vs 8 months post-partum – this bra will continue to fit you.

But don’t take my word for it, visit our Boutique Store and check out all of the great customer testimonials about this bra. There are lots of moms who love it as much as I do! This bra is so fantastic – my mother (who clearly is not nursing) is wearing this bra!

In addition to a number of fantastic bras, Melinda G also makes a pretty fantastic nursing camisole! This cami is called the Cami Sutra and it is brand new! I have to be honest – originally I had no intention of stocking it in my store. So Melinda sent me one to try out and I am a true convert! I now have them on order for my store (they will be in stock in a few weeks!). Let me tell you why I love this cami so much and what sets it apart from other nursing camis/tanks that are available.

• This cami has a FULL BRA inside. Not a shelf bra, but the same bra that is in Melinda G’s best selling Tee-Shirt Soft-Cup Nursing Bra – so you will get excellent support and won’t need to wear another bra underneath of it.
• This cami looks like a tank top, not an undershirt or bra – so you will feel comfortable wearing it as a shirt.
• This cami has an adjustable back closure to the bra inside of it – so you can adjust the fit of the bra to fit your body – independent of how the cami fits you as a top!
• This cami will fit you when you are pregnant and when you are nursing – so you can keep wearing it for breastfeeding after the baby arrives!



• And most important to me – this cami fits like a shirt – it isn’t too tight – so it looks great on everyone – you don’t have to be super thin or have a flat stomach to look great in this one! Just take a look at the photo of me in it. I never wear tanks or camis because they always accentuate my “rolls” at my mid-riff, but I love the way this one looks on me! And the support is AWESOME as well!

Signature Nursing Tank Now Comes In A Silky Bamboo!

The classic nursing tank that flatters just about every figure now comes in a silky smooth environmentally friendly bamboo blend. When you combine it with a great jacket or cardigan it’s perfect for all seasons.

• Abra-strap friendly, tank-top with a diamond-shaped ruching at the tip of a sexy V-neck.
• Back is V-neck and length ends at lower hip for a more flattering and forgiving fit.
• Shoulder straps measure 1″ wide at the narrowest.
• This unique fabric blend is soft to the touch (feels almost 2nd skin) and falls beautifully.
• This design is cleverly constructed to compliment even immediate post-partum figures.
• To nurse, lift front layer to access the side slits.
• Made from 70% Bamboo,25% Cotton,5% Spandex.

Our third winner of the September Baby Photo Contest not only loves this tank but also deserves a round of applause as she has not only reached but surpassed her breastfeeding goal!

… We were celebrating a lot that day, including making it to our goal of “one year of exclusive breastfeeding!” With the support and encouragement of Judy & A Mother’s Boutique, we have surpassed our 1 year mark, and are still going strong. Judy was always available for suggestions about clothing, as well as general breastfeeding support! How can you wean when you have all these great clothes to wear?! This particular top is one of my favorites: bright, soft, comfortable, slimming, and bountiful side nursing openings. What else can you ask for?
