Funmum.com has listened to customer demands & the result,.”a whole new twist on breastfeeding fashion”!


Question from a Satisfied Funmum.com ‘Mum’:
Six months after the birth of my darling daughter, I'm returning to work as an architect at an inner-city firm. I'm still breastfeeding and pumping. Can you recommend some smart tops or dresses that come with rapid access to the dairy cabinet?
Funmum.com Reply:
A big pat on the back to you! Not only have you surmounted the often insurmountable - by surviving the first six months of motherhood with enough spring in your bounce to return to work - but you're also rising to architectural heights by choosing to breastfeed your baby. Woo hoo, we all applaud you!

Now aside from the fabulous nanny, the cleaner and, dare we say, the cook (yes all working mums DO dream about these luxuries), what you really need is sound wardrobe advice. Easy, inconspicuous access is key when it comes to dressing for breastfeeding and expressing.

Effortless is also useful. Avoid silks as they require dry-cleaning, and breast milk, not to mention vomit, can leave noticeable stains.

Classic design is best and the wrap dress is ideal. Funmum have reworked the simple maternity dress this season and designed a gorgeous classic style with luxurious fabric. It features a flattering v-neck created by the crossing of fabric wrapping making it ideal for breastfeeding.

Now, as every breastfeeding worker knows, pumping (expressing) and dumping (storing) is a complete science. You need clothes that work with you. Aside from the classic black wrap dress, there's a number of fabulous (yes, you heard right) breastfeeding tops from www.funmum.com that don't look all matronly.

Funmum.com has designed some stylish and fashionable breastfeeding tops – all versatile so you can wear during the day at the office to that special night out and both pre and post pregnancy. See our top best selling breastfeeding tops below.

Once again, we applaud you Super Mum and now you can relax feeling confident that you are not only going to look stylish but feeling comfortable going back to the office. For a complete workwear solution, Funmum is offering a 3 piece Workwear package. Essential items to complete your Maternity Clothes office wardrobe and all from the stylish Funmum.com collection at www.funmum.com

Preg Head Myth Debunked

Does your Brain Really Turn To Mush During and Post Pregnancy?

After years of extensive and thorough scientific study, researchers finally have confirmed what many of us have known for years, that "preg head", otherwise known as "placenta brain" DOES NOT in fact exist and that pregnancy does not turn women into ditzy absent-minded airheads.

Mmmmm, so it's official then, pregnant women aren't stupid after all. Of course, that's not to say that there's no explanation for why some women feel more distracted and less able to concentrate when they're pregnant; just because there's no physiological cause for it.

Pregnancy can be both hugely stressful and incredibly exciting and having what sometimes feels like an alien lodged in your abdomen is a pretty mindblowing experience in itself; it's no wonder that some pregnant women find themselves unable to focus on other, less important things during this time. Not to mention the post pregnancy daily grind including lack of sleep which can often result in 'mushy brain syndrome'.

To hear from a Funmum Fan herself, we will be posting a an Interview with Angela Brotherton (mother of 3) from Glasgow who shares her own experiences of ‘Preg Head’.

We'd love to hear from YOU so why not share some of your own experiences and tell us what you really think.....

What's on the baby-naming horizon for 2010?

There are lots of things to think about when choosing a name for your child, as our baby naming posting article points out.

One thing you may want to consider is what's popular at the moment and what's not. You might feel differently about naming your little boy Jack once you know it's been the most popular boys' name in England and Wales for the past nine years!

What we can all agree with is that every parent wants to give their baby the perfect name — one that expresses their family’s tastes and values, complements their last name, and gives their little one the best possible start in life.

At the same time, history has shown that the baby girl names and baby boy names parents choose are strongly influenced by trends. Those trends may come from any number of sources, including pop culture, fiction, religion, politics, even the economy.

What’s on the baby-naming horizon for 2010? Check out the popular name predictions at the following - http://www.epregnancy.com/baby-names/top-baby-names-for-2010.

Based on other data from the Social Security Administration, we predict that the following names, whose popularity grew significantly between 2007 and 2008, will emerge as front-runners in 2010.

2010 Baby Boy Names: Aiden, Alijah, Brady, Braylon, Caleb, Hugo, Lucas, Mason

2010 Baby Girl Names: Ainsley, Amari, Brooke, Fiona, Gabriella, Hailey, Jayla, Kendall, Mia, Mila, Paige, Valentina

Good luck picking a name, and we hope you have found some inspiration from the lists above that will help make your search for the perfect baby girl name or baby boy name a little bit easier!

If you have a favourite baby name that you want to share with the Funmum Network share with us.....
