I was tired of the shields that you stick in your bra to prevent "lactic leakage". They are bulky and show through your clothes and you have to change them out all the time. <br />
<br />
Lily Padz actually stop the flow, hold the excess leche and can stand in for a bra on strapless dresses and such. I have purchased two pairs even since I've stopped nursing just to wear with tricky dresses or swimwear to prevent highbeams. They are a life saver during nursing, I wore them around the clock to prevent leaks. (There is nothing weirder than waking up in a puddle of milk)<br />

(Side note for new Moms to be - when/if you are breastfeeding, sometimes leakage can be a problem. At first it is very difficult to control and happens consistently, eventually they become trained and only produce when you are nursing your baby. To combat this problem, you can wear pads that are essentially pantyliners for your bra. These are the things that nobody tells you about in preparing for motherhood! )<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/387530613986298282-3128561789943345378?l=preciousorb.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Nerissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10146681424714868344noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-387530613986298282.post-5387747900741274712010-06-02T13:29:00.000-05:002010-06-02T13:29:23.934-05:002010-06-02T13:29:23.934-05:00Diaper Bag Deliberation<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I am scoping diaper bags that will handle a heavier load now that I will have two little travellers soon.

The stores give you lists of essentials (wipewarmer, really?) that they would like for you to buy, but I'll give you a list of potential lifesavers.<br />
<br />
My first, most useful item is the swaddler. Of course you can swaddle them in a blanket, if you are an origami expert, but it still won't last all night . Wrapping them up may seem like baby torture at first, but it simulates the security and coziness of the womb. With this little miracle, you wrap them up like some silly little burrito and they stay secure and happy through the wee hours of the morning. Nothing will prevent dark circles under your eyes like a full night of shut eye. <br />

My toddler's red cat eye glasses where nowhere to be found either. New shades all around! <br />
<br />
<br />
For the pint size diva, I snagged this <a href="http://www.childrensplace.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10001_10001_-1_615087_121005_25851%7C25911_baby%20girl%7Caccessories_babygirls">groovy pair</a> at The Children's Place. With two pairs for $5, who could resist!<br />

Each summer I stock up on cheap-n-trendies from Forever 21 so when they break or are swept out to sea, I don't shed a tear for them.<br />
<br />
<br />
For a great pair of investment glasses, try <a href="http://www.oliverpeoples.com/">Oliver Peoples</a>. They are chic, luxurious and the lenses provide superior quality and sun protection. Here is a taste:<br />

I spray it on dry hair to give it a pick-me-up any time. It also extends time between shampoos to 3-4 days, amazing for a mommy with no time to spare! I have dabbled in dry shampoos, but this stuff is far superior. The Amazon reviews say it works for gals with curly locks as well, making them beachy and tousled a la' Kate Hudson. (<em>She collaborated on this line of products</em>).</div><br />
As if being a great product weren't enough:<br />
<br />
With an exclusive blend of exotic natural ingredients, DAVID BABAII FOR WILDAID products are free of sulfates, parabens, animal products and animal testing. For Hudson and Babaii, DAVID BABAII FOR WILDAID celebrates "The nature in beauty and the beauty in nature."<br />
<br />
<strong><em>And</em></strong> a percentage of the revenue from the line benefits the global wildlife conservation organization WildAid.<br />

The retro 70's nude woman on the bottle is now a familiar friend. I slathered my bump with this after every bath or shower and did not get a single stretch mark for baby number one. Now, 5 months into baby number two, I still end my showers with Mother's Special Blend. It has a very faint, pleasant nutty scent. I recommend lubing up immediately after your shower or bath and then patting dry. The price is in the $10 range and one bottle will get you through your entire pregnancy! </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

Here are some of my current favorite non-maternity tops that will flatter and accomodate your bump.<br />

Any product touting an SPF of more than 50 is all hype and not a good choice. </div><br />
I'll be buying this one from Jason to slather on the bump and the family this summer!<br />

Everyone looks adorable in a sun hat. Not only will it keep you cool, but also relieves the pressure to have great hair when it is just not happening. Here are a few that go from poolside to out shopping in a snap. Throw it on with your cut-offs and a T-shirt and find yourself looking fashion forward even on a Sunday morning emergency grocery run!<br />
