A Frog In My Soup

Breastfeeding is something that is near and dear to my heart.  I breastfed my son until he was almost 18 months old, and I am still nursing my 20 month old daughter.  I feel very blessed that I have been able to nurse my children, however, I want to preface this post by saying that this is not going to be me preaching about why breastfeeding is the only way to go, or how awful formula is.  I don’t actually believe that.  For me, breastfeeding was the best way to go.  I completely understand and support families who choose to use formula, and would never judge another family’s decisions regarding their children.

What this post will do is tell you about a fabulous company that you will come to love if you choose or have chosen to breastfeed.

Glamourmom has been my go-to resource for nursing tanks and shirts for a long time; however, I’ve recently discovered that they have even more ingenious products for nursing mamas.  Specifically I just received the Glamourmom Nursing Tankini a few weeks ago and it has become a staple in my travel bag.

A few weekends ago we visited the Great Wolf Lodge.  If you haven’t heard of them before, you should definitely check them out!   GWL is a nationwide chain of indoor waterparks and resorts and it was a perfect winter getaway for us!  My concern was that we would be spending an immense amount of our day in pools, on the waterslides, and playing in the splash park.  I knew I would have to feed my daughter, and I knew that privacy would be at a premium.  I figured I would have to change us both and shlep up to the room everytime she wanted to nurse, until I learned about the Glamourmom Tankini.

First off, let me just say, this bathing suit is super affordable.  At only $59, you are getting a complete bathing suit – top and bottom – for less than what it might cost for just a top these days!  Not to mention, the bathing suit is simple and classic, yet still stylish, and you can easily use this even after you’ve weaned your little one.   A few other little features that I love are the slightly higher waist on the bottoms that hide the leftover baby belly, the adjustable straps, and the easy one-handed snaps to release the straps for nursing.  I felt that I was adequately covered when I was feeding my daughter at the waterpark, and she was able to latch with no problem.

Glamourmom has some really unique and extremely beneficial products in addition to the amazing tankini that I tried.  Another favorite of mine is the Long Tank that not only has a nursing bra, but also built in tummy control!  What post-partum mama doesn’t want a little extra control around their midsection?!  I am also really loving the Nursing Bra Tank with Lace.  It’s such a fun little detail to have the bottom lined with lace, and you can easily wear this as a layer or on it’s own.

The most versitale of all the Glamourmom products is the Long Nursing Bra Tank (seen above), and I have been wearing them since my daughter was born!  They go under everything providing support, easy access while nursing, and they are just downright comfy!  The amazing owner/founder of Glamourmom, Line Rothman, has kindly offered to give one of our readers one of her own!  So exciting!!!
