Pregnancy Body Changes - Weird Stuff
Being pregnant is certainly not without its challenges! Aside from the obvious expected body changes – a growing tummy, swollen breasts, morning sickness and slightly erratic moods – many mums-to-be also endure their fair share of unusual, but frankly quite amazing, changes as their body prepares for the exciting journey ahead. Don’t be too surprised if you find yourself experiencing some of these rather curious and sometimes downright weird body changes during pregnancy. You can read this article here:

Maternity Clothes
Maternity clothes have come along way in recent years - gone are the pinafores, smocks, and gigantic dresses. These days garments are figure hugging and flattering to show of your gorgeous belly and suit your mummy curves.
Shop for Maternity Clothes Online at our trusted store
The basics of maternity clothes include the following:
- maternity tops and tshirts. Designed with a good fit across your shoulders and stretch over your bump, generally slightly longer in length than standard pre-pregnancy tshirts, and with a curved dip at the front so there is enough fabric to cover your bump. Ruched sides to allow for shape. Many designs are also suitable to be used as nursing tops when baby is born. Look for clothing in easy care fabrics.
- Maternity tunics are very practical, as they can easily accommodate your shape. These go great with leggings and boots. Team them up with maternity tights - these are specially designed with a wider belly gusset and don't gut across the top of your bump.
- Maternity jeans and pants, and summer shorts: these are designed with either a stretchy waistband or extendable elastic. Maternity pants with stretchy waistbands are so functional! You can wear the waistband pulled up over your belly which is a great way to bridge any skin gap that might be showing below your tshirt, and it also provides gentle support. Alternatively you can fold the waistband lower and wear it over your hips. This functionality ensures that the pants can last you throughout your entire pregnancy.
- Maternity jeans with extendable elastic - these are made with elastic that you can access in the waistband and you can pull tight or loosen, and fasten through a specially placed button at the fly opening. This means that you can adjust your pants as your belly grows.
Maternity skirts are popular - wear with tights and boots in winter, or sandals in summer. These are generally also made with stretchy waistbands that you can roll up or wear down. Bright bold patterns are a great way to feel fantastic.
Maternity dresses are available online too, which are great for a special occasion like attending a summer wedding. Maternity dresses usually have a fitted effect across your belly.
Even if you are a larger plus size women - wearing fitted maternity clothing is more flattering than wearing looser garments which will tend to exaggerate your size.
The crucial piece of advice that we can give you when it comes to buying maternity clothing - DO NOT wear your partner's tshirts. They won't be flattering at all, and you need to cherish your new body shape rather than hiding under his baggy tshirts!!

Solids Starter Kit
The Solids Starter Kit is great for freezing expressed breast milk (as well as baby’s meals of coure).
Here is a pic of a 30ml+ cube and a very narrow neck bottle. So easy enough to remove frozen breastmilk and put into your bottle ready for a feed

How to test your breast pump is working
It's a bit hard to test it precisely without pumping. But you could check that the pump is running and has suction.
Get a balloon and blow it up to Breast size, and then check that there is suction that pulls the balloon towards the breastshield funnel. Or put your hand over the breastshield and you should be able to feel suction at least.
Also check that the tiny white membrane disc is perfectly intact, with no rips, tears, or milk residue. That is the tiny part that controls the suction and often needs replacing.
Check this diagram which shows all the parts and the spares that we have available for you to order online: Swing Breast Pump Parts

Breastfeeding & What to Wear at Night
We are pleased to announce the arrival of MumDrop wrap, a new product for bedtime wear
The MumDrop wrap was invited by a customer of ours, who saw the need for a breast pad / bra type product for night wear.
She needed a product like this to take care of heavy nighttime breastmilk leakage that would also provide bust support while sleeping.
Lovely and comfortable to wear, and highly absorbent so you don't wake up with soaked PJs and wet sheets in your bed!
Check them out here: MumDrop Wrap
It's fun to be involved with a new product like this, and to provide a tiny bit of support for another mum starting a business. (Thats how Breastmates was started in 2004 - with one product and selling on Trademe).

FreeStyle Breast Pump Review
Medela Freestyle Breast Pump (review from
Comment: I purchased this Medela Freestyle Pump 6 monhts ago I pump exclusively for my boy as we couldn't get the hang of feeding and just had so many issues - I decided I was committed to breastmilk and invested in this pump not knowing if it would auctually work and this pump makes it work. It's awesome I can hook it on with the hands free kit (not actually hard to use) and wear a large t-shirt over it and nobody minds me being around and I can do dishes, or other light jobs. It's much quieter than the mini pump and even after atleast 2 hours a day pumping for 6 months it's good as gold - this was the one of the top baby items that we have purchased.
