Mitten Sleeves (Review)

Thank you Susan for taking the time to write this review about the anti-scratching  Mitten Sleeves , we’re so glad they have helped your baby.

 

My second born has eczema since he was a few weeks old. He had flare-ups quite often & even though we used many types of creams to soothe it, he would be back to itching, when he was stressed out, or not well in hospital but especially when he was tired or asleep. We started swaddling him at night just so we could get a good nights rest without worry, as well as using socks & mittens during the day. He is now alot older and swaddling etc isnt an option anymore these arm sleeves are fantastic. Worn like a little jacket/shrug which goes across the back, makes it impossible for them to wriggle off, & i do now have piece of mind that he will not wake up in a mess from scratching. The material is nice & soft on the skin. It can be worn all the time & does not interfere with the lil ones playing they can still grasp easily. I tend to keep arm sleeve for day/night naps, & now always keep in nappy bag. Winter is coming up & i know he will be nice and snug. I believe this product to be beneficial for all babies and children. Great for new borns because they scratch in their sleep. Awesome for eczema and other skin conditions, as well as chicken pox even. I dont know where i'd be without the arm sleeve but am completely sold on this product, & will use for as long as my toddler needs it. We love it.

Clip on Cami Review

 

It was so nice to stumble across this random review of my “Clip on Cami” on the Sweet Mama M blog

 

I liked the part that said “They are PERFECT. I would highly recommend them to any new nursing mother and I wish that I had got mine sooner. They hide my tummy, leaving only the slightest sliver of skin when feeding. They’re also worn snuggly and I feel that my mummy tummy definitely looks better in them, smoother under clothes. I love that it’s quadrupled the wardrobe that I have while nursing and that it works well with both brands of nursing bra I own. When my nursing days are over, I’ll definitely be filing these away in case of a sibling.

Mitten Sleeves

A nice review about our Mitten Sleeves (Arm Socks) that stop baby scratching.

 

 

Mitten Sleeves

They have been absolutely brilliant! It was so easy for little man to take the socks off his hands so to have something that he can't remove has saved us from the daily & nightly battles and resulted in a happier toddler and mum! Highly recommend!

Seamless Nursing Bra

Thankyou  Genevieve for telling us your review of the Seamless Nursing Bra, I’m so glad you like it!!  It doesn’t look glamorous but the comfort level is amazing ay!
I got one of these when my baby was 4 months old but I wish I got it sooner! It is the most comfortable bra I have ever had! I wear it in bed and day time too. It also washes well. I highly recommend it!

Sports Nursing Bra Review

Sports Nursing Bra

Rating: 4

Name: Charlie

Comment: Thank you, thank you, thank you!  I can finally jog & mountain bike comfortably.  I was a size 10-12 A prior to pregnancy & am currently a size 12 D (give or take...)  with plenty of new back fat to go with my new breasts.  Size wise I went for a medium.  It is very firm fitting so perfect for exercise but probably a bit too firm around the band for comfortable sleeping (the join on the band digs in if I am lying on it).  It is also probably a bit on the small side around the arms - but only because it comes up high for extra support & my new back fat!  It is certainly the best sports bra I have found - despite the minor points above it is super comfortable & I wanted to buy another after my first day in it.

 

 

 

                       

 

Breastfeeding Top

A nice review from Charlie about this breastfeeding top

 

This top is great - it covers my post baby belly, falls nicely, is super comfortable & is very easy to discretely breastfeed in.  I was a size 10-12 prior to my pregnancy weight gain & medium fits well.

 

Maternity and Breastfeeding Top

Another great review from Happy Customer Charlie, Maternity Top

 

This top looks great - it somehow gives me slim length!  It is super comfortable, easy to breast feed in and totally covers my post baby wobbles while being fitted across my upper chest & arms.  If I had one top for cooler days this would be it.  I bought the medium (pre pregnancy weight gain I was a 10-12).  Love it!

#customerlove

Customer love from Karolina today.  I share these types of messages to this blog so that I have a record for myself in the future!

I placed my order on Wednesday night, and the package arrived this morning (Friday)! Amazing!  Love the dress, so comfy and looks really nice on. I have bought quite a few things off Breastmates and I was very very happy every single time. Your products are great, but what's more important - your customer service is absolutely exceptional!  Love shopping with Breastmates - Franny you deserve more than 5 stars!

After Labour Belly Wrap

Thanks for your feedback Kirsty, about the Belly Wrap.  Great idea to wear it inside out so the Velcro doesn't scratch

Comment: This has been really useful for getting my tummy to shrink. I found the Velcro a little scratchy because I have sensitive skin but then realised you can actually wear it inside out and it still has the same effect! Very friendly and efficient service, too, so I am a happy customer :)

Maternity Dress

#customer love from Rachel,

 

I love the pink maternity dress I brought, great price and loved the $10 off voucher!  I also have a few other items of yours such as the purple/blue dress and I love them all.  

I feel as though your clothes were made to fit me.  When your new season stuff arrives, I think I will come to Cambridge and try on :)

Breastmates Breast Pads (Multipack)

Rating: 5

Comment: I brought these when my daughter arrived 4 months ago and have used them everyday since.  We were away the other week and I didn't pack all 3 pairs and ended up buying another brand, needless to say I ended up with a soggy t-shirt in town for all to see!  So to avoid this happening again I am about to order a back-up set to have in the car and nappy bag!!  Thanks Franny for a great products.
