Pump Hands-Free and in Style with PumpEase

Mom and Baby Naturally is happy to be carrying PumpEase™, the world's only fashionable hands-free pumping bra.

PumpEase™ can be worn over any nursing bra/top/dress, or over nothing at all. It allows you to pump hand-free while working, caring for your baby, or even nursing on one side and pumping the other.

It also provides maximum coverage, just in case of an awkward oops moment with a coworker or your mother-in-law!

PumpEase™ products come in a variety of fun, fashionable prints, because as the manufacturer says, "women like pretty things, even when they're pumping."

PumpEase Classic Tuxedo Hands-Free Pumping Bra

The PumpEase™ Classic Collection features the fun and fruity Very Cherry, beautiful blue Stoney River, and for those formal pumping occassions, Tuxedo.

PumpEase Classic Stoney River Hands-Free Pumping Bra

The PumpEase™ Fabulous 50s Collection offers retro polka-dots in T-Bird Red, BelAir Blue and Galaxie Black.

PumpEase™ organic is made from a beautiful, unbleached and undyed knit fabric, and is the world's only organic hands-free pumping bra.

By purchasing the Best for Babes PumpEase™, you can help to support the work of The Best for Babes Foundation, which helps moms to beat the Booby Traps™ – the cultural and institutional barriers that prevent parents from making informed feeding decisions and moms from achieving their personal breastfeeding goals, whether that’s 2 days, 2 months or 2 years!

All PumpEase™ products feature patented, 'no-stitch' horn openings, guaranteed to accommodate any breast pump on the market, and fit moms sized from 32AA to 48H and beyond. Please visit The Fitting Room for more information.

Hygeia Pumps Are Here!

Mom and Baby Naturally is proud to be a retailer for Hygeia breast pumps and accessories.

Hygeia's pumps are truly multi-user, when each mom has her own personal accessory set. All Hygeia pumps feature a unique filter that blogs bacteria, viruses and fluids from entering the pump and causing cross-contamination.

Hygeia’s motto is No Pumps in Dumps™, and they are committed to keeping breast pumps out of landfills. When you no longer need your pump, just send it back to Hygeia to be recycled. (See the recycling instructions included with your pump.)

All of Hygeia's electric pumps come with a three year warranty, one of the longest for any personal-use breast pump on the market.

And Hygeia is one of the very breast pump companies that is compliant with the World Health Organization Code on the marketing of breastmilk substitutes (WHO Code).

In addition to electric breast pumps designed for frequent use, Hygeia also offers one-handed and two-handed manual pumps, and a hand expression cup.

I've used the hand expression cup myself, and it works much better than expressing into a regular pump flange and bottle, because the shape reduces the chance of spillage.

(And any mom who's ever pumped know that spilt milk certainly is worth crying over!)

This chart will help you to decide which of Hygeia's electric pumps is right for you. (Click to enlarge.)

Sunday Smile: Benefits of Babywearing

I ran across this on Facebook and just had to share :-)

(Based on some of the comments on the original post, I'll suggest that we all just assume that's a decaf iced coffee that she's drinking.)

Hurricane Sandy Update

We (and our inventory) are fine here in South Central Pennsylvania, but of course, many people, especially those closer to the coast, have not been so lucky.

Sheepish Distribution, our supplier for Fresh Moon Menstrual Products and Nursing Pads and Punkin Butt Teething Oil, is hosting an emergency fundraiser this week.

They will take 25% of all orders that come in between now and Sunday November 4, and put together emergency supplies to ship to affected areas, as well as donations to the Red Cross and other organizations that are providing emergency services. They are making first aid salves, sending real food, first aid kits, batteries, blankets and other supplies.

When you order these products from Mom and Baby Naturally, they are shipped directly from Sheepish Distribution, so your order through our store will count toward the fundraiser.

Please help us help them to make a difference!

New Connecta Carriers Now Available for Preorder!

All quantities are limited, so act quickly!

Connecta Solarweave Carriers
Solarweave is a sun-protective fabric which blocks 95- 99% of the suns harmful UVA and UVB rays. It is highly breathable and non-irritating, even to sensitive skin. The Solarweave Connecta is constructed to keep your baby cool in the heat of summer as well as offering protection from the sun. Solarweve is a very strong fabric but with a soft cotton like feel. It is very quick drying and is the ideal hot weather baby carrier.

Connecta Integra Carriers
In a redesigned carrier with some exciting new features we present the Connecta Integra. This new design retains all of the comfort, safety and security of the original design with a few changes. The Connecta Integra is slightly lighter weight than the original, packs smaller, and is cooler in summer.

It features a integrated sleeping hood that is a seamless addition to the top of the carrier. It also has the clever ability to tuck right away inside the carrier, which also creates a handy pocket for soft small items when the hood is not in use. You simply separate the front and back layers of the carrier and tuck the hood away inside!
