Nursing Aprons...

To all mothers who nurse.. Try this, made by my friend Leah...

-The nursing apron covers mothers while breastfeeding babies in public or private. The matching adjustable strap goes around the neck to provide further modesty for the mother and baby. The nursing apron is 34" wide and 24" long. The terrycloth corner on the inside can easily hold a pacifier, nursing pad, and/or can be used to wipe up mother and baby after nursing. The rigid neckline allows the mother to easily peek at the baby. All the hems have double stitching. They are 100% machine washable.

-It also comes with a matching diapers and wipes case with white lining that will hold a case of wipes and 2-3 diapers for travel. This is also 100% machine washable.

-The nursing apron and wipes/diaper case is $30 with free shipping to the U.S.

-Anyone who's interested can email me: leahshmeah@hotmail.com

-Also, I'm more than willing to make a custom apron/diaper case for anyone who wants them. They can even pick out fabric and send it to me and I will make the apron with their desired fabric.

Are you Baby Wise?

This book, On Becoming Baby Wise, is great for new moms. It was recommended to me by a few friends, I read it and i thought it was great! It talks about routines, and it claims to have your baby sleeping though the night as soon as 2 months! It has worked pretty well for me so far. Check it out... it's worth the read. You can purchase this book at your local Barnes and Noble Bookstore or online at barnesandnble.com.
