Hot Milk Will Put The Sizzle Back In Your Undie Drawer
What’s got us all hot and bothered? The super sexy undie sets and lingerie from HOT MILK. You thought nursing and maternity underwear was boring? Think again momma, cause this fabulous company from New Zealand will have you looking and feeling like the yummy mummy you are. Simply put, we were blown away by the beautiful colors and flattering cuts of their designs. The camisoles hug you in all the right places and the gorgeous bras make nursing your newborn in the wee bitter hours of the night a snap…comfy enough to sleep in and saucy enough to keep things interesting. Who wants to always be wearing the same gigantic white nursing bra? Sure it’s got it’s uses and place in your post baby wardrobe, but you need to mix it up a little. Looking your best and feeling sexy will keep you going mommy. We know this for a fact. We are so pleased with our blue satin bra and French knicker set…very comfy and so pretty. Love the Japanese flower design. We’re also lucky enough to own their sassy blue Sugar Coated Comfort PJ set…never want to take them off! The top is stretchy and has snaps that open for easy feeding. Love that! So ditch the safe and practical for now and dress yourself up a little in some sassy under things from HOT MILK…you ( and your husband) can thank us later. Go to www.hotmilklingerie.co.nz for a list of online shops that will ship some HOT MILK to you.
Hip-T Has You Covered
You know how it is…you just had a baby and you’re starting to get back into shape, but there is that little extra that keeps hanging on. We’ve all been there momma! What’s helping us get through those “muffin top” days? A little something called Hip-T. It’s a stretchy cotton hip wrap/band that you wear just over your jeans and under your shirt. It creates perfect layers without having to wear two shirts and you can adjust it to cover whatever you want to hide. We like how it keeps all our wibbly parts together, while making our outfit more stylish and polished. An extra bonus that we discovered while wearing it was that it covers up your belly while breastfeeding…sure it’s easy to keep under wraps up top, but it’s tricky to keep your tummy covered too. So simple and fabulous! Lot’s of colors to choose from, but don’t forget classic black and the all important white to compliment your summer wardrobe. Have a look at all their shades at www.myhip-t.com You’ll be looking like a celeb mommy in no time.
SlingEZee Has Us Hooked
SlingEZee knows a thing or two about making brilliant baby slings, as they’ve been around since the 80’s. They recently revamped a few things and their new patterns and designs not only offer superb comfort but necessary style as well. We chose the sling in the stunning Chocolate Aqua Flowers and couldn’t be more pleased. Love the perfectly padded shoulder strap and rails…no back pain which keeps both baby and mommy happy. We’re very “Princess and The Pea” here at Celeb Baby Clothes…too much fabric or too little on our sling and we notice right away. We’re able to take our baby to the market, the beach and the park and he sleeps soundly in his new sling while we chase our toddler around. SlingEZee also has enough fabric to keep you discreetly covered and baby cradled while you breast feed. However, we have to admit that the first thing we fell for was their fabulous choice of fabrics…just look at the patterns and you’ll toss out the Bjorn and convert to a SlingEZee. Have a peak yourself at www.slingezee.com and after you try one out let us know what you think.
Organic Gifts For Mommy & Baby
Who doesn’t like to receive a gift? Make that gift organic, safe for the environment and wrap it up in a gorgeous box and you’ll have us hooked. GreenBaby Gifts puts together all natural, eco friendly gifts that are super luxurious and safe for you and baby. After hearing about them from several impressed readers we had to see the gift boxes ourselves…and we ordered ourselves the Nursery Necessities Gift Box. All items are thoughtfully chosen and the presentation is very impressive. The box it came in is a gift itself.. Why wait for a baby shower when you can treat yourself momma? A beautiful box filled with all the lovely things you’ll need those first few weeks after baby arrives will make your day and who doesn’t need a little pampering? The organic crib sheet and onesie that came in the gift set are neutral in shade, and the body wash smells so yummy and won’t hurt babe’s newborn skin. Nothing “gimmicky” or wasteful, you’ll use all of the earth friendly and safe products. Greenbaby has gift boxes for mommies and toddlers too that are filled with organic goodness, and they make a smashing baby shower present. Swanky, healthy and tons of fun to open, get yourself a little piece of organic luxury at www.greenbaby-gifts.com
Belabumbum Has Us Looking Good
Sure…you’ll be sleep deprived, learning how to breastfeed and more hormonal than ever. You’ll also need to think about what can you wear that’s comfy and sophisticated while you entertain all the new visitors that want to meet your new bundle of joy. You’ll want to look good without the worry. People will drop in and who wants to greet their guests in old sweat pants and a baggy tee? New cotton jammies and lounge wear seem more appealing and exciting to us, because when you look fabulous, you feel better. It’s just a fact. We love the nursing chemise and baby doll tops at BELABUMBUM. Paired with their lounge pants and their sweet little robe, you’ll be set to accept all your visitors (don’t let them stay too long…you need your rest mamma!). The Cotton Dot pattern is classy and the cut is very flattering to your figure. We’ve been a fan of their maternity and nursing bras and panties for a long time (the Copacabana is well know as THE nursing bra to own). Their lounge wear is just as stylish and classy, with a little added oomph to make you feel pretty and sexy. Celeb mommies that have been known to pamper themselves in BELABUMBUM are MILA JOVOVICH and MARISKA HARGITAY. Before, during and after your pregnancy, BELABUMBUM has gorgeous lingerie that will make you feel beautiful and proud of your body, and isn’t that what really matters?

Play Outside In Style
We have a general rule around here at Celeb Baby Clothes…if it’s good enough for the gorgeous model mommy CHRISTY TURLINGTON, then it’s good enough for us. We heard that CHRISTY is a fan of OUTSIDE BABY, a company that makes very functional and durable outdoor products and clothing. We spotted their hip and modern Cooler Backpack, and we decided to try it out. Now that it’s getting warmer, it’s so nice to pack a picnic lunch or supper…but what about all the other stuff you have to lug for baby and family? This particular backpack has a roomy cooler on the bottom and a separate compartment up top for all your necessities like diapers, wipes, picnic blanket and sunscreen. We’ve been packing it up with yummy treats and baby gear the past few weekends and are super impressed. It’s not too heavy when full, the straps do not dig in, and the style is very fresh and appealing. What more do you and Christy need? Sure it’s cute to carry your wicker picnic basket while having a family day out, but not very practical. This bag is perfect for a fun city day of museums and cafes, and for a sunny day at the beach. Go see all the brilliant outdoor gear and clothing that OUTSIDE BABY has created at www.outsidebaby.com
Best Maternity Jeans Ever!
We don’t gush about things easily…it has to be super fabulous for us to be impressed and tell all you mommies. You know can get maternity jeans just about anywhere now….but why settle for “they sorta fit…good enough” when you can get maternity jeans that look and feel gorgeous? We just discovered YIM MATERNITY JEANS and we are hooked. These jeans make your pregnant bottom look spectacular, which is just what you need when you’re growing a little baby. YIM makes their jeans with an adjustable and concealed waistband that grows with your belly, so they last from the first days of morning sickness to those post delivery days when you still need something super comfy and stylish to wear ( you can’t hide in sweat pants everyday momma!). We’ve been sporting YIM’S brilliant Aussie cropped dark demin jeans throughout our roller coaster pregnancy…should have ordered more than one pair…thank goodness they wash well. YIM’S tops also caught our stylish eye, and we couldn’t resist the striped tank in cherry. Don’t you just hate having to keep pulling at your maternity top when it rides up? Not an issue with YIM as they make them the perfect length to cover your Budda belly. No more frumpy oufits mommies-to-be…time to strut it like you’re a celeb mommy with a stylist on speed dial, and we think YIM should be your first stop at www.yim.com.au
Safe Drinking Bottles With Major Style
Now that we’ve all tossed our chemical filled sippy cups and water bottles, we need to find a stylish and safe alternative. We want something with flare and color..nothing boring for us stylish mommies. We are very impressed with our SIGG bottle. These Swiss beverage holders are made of light weight aluminum, so your wee one’s hands can easily carry them, even when filled up to the top. We love that they have designs for grownups and kids, so everyone in the family can sip and look fabulous. We heard that MADONNA and CINDY CRAWFORD are two celeb moms that love their SIGG containers…such good taste. What sets SIGG apart from the rest is that they take it to the next level and add creative designs and patterns to their non leaching, ultra safe bottles. They also make sleek thermo bottles so you can carry your skinny mocha to the park with your tot…no more take out cups for you, eco mama! Fashionable, earth friendly and very sophisticated, SIGG bottles add class and much needed safety to your child’s life. Ditch the toxic plastic and see all of SIGG’S smart designs at www.sigg.com

Healthy & Addictive
Deciding that you are hungry when you’re pregnant isn’t a problem…it’s what to eat that has you feeling cranky and annoyed. You’re too tired to make something when you need a snack, and you want to be healthy and sensible. As busy moms on the go, we need a snack that we can take on the road and munch on while stuck in traffic that tastes good. We were thrilled to finally try out BELLYBAR’S yummy selection of nutritional snack bars. We were curious if these bars would do the trick, cause when a pregnant woman wants chocolate, she wants delicious chocolate. The Baby Needs Chocolate bar (our favorite) completely satisfied our devilish cravings and didn’t make us feel guilty, as it’s packed with all that good stuff your OB wants you to have like iron, folic acid and calcium (talk to your doctor if you take a prenatal vitamin, as there is such a thing as too much of a good thing mommies). We think BELLYBARS would make a fantastic snack for breastfeeding mommies too. Honestly, I was more hungry breastfeeding than when pregnant.That’s when you really need an easy, scrumptious little snack to keep you going ( 3am feedings are so brutal).
