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). Have a look at their healthy bars, chews and shakes at www.nutrabella.com
Hip & Comfy Nursing Bras
Nursing bras have come along way since your momma had you. No need to suffer ill fitting cups, straps that dig in and designs that make you feel frumpy. You just need to know where to look, and we can help you. NUMMIES, a fashion savvy company that knows how to make a nursing mommy feel beautiful and supported. We were so lucky to try out their new chic nursing bra and we may never take it off. So comfy and pretty. It’s called the NUMMIES STYLE NURSING BRA and it is super gorgeous. Love the seam free design and molded cups, as all you want to wear during the first few weeks of breastfeeding is a tee shirt. We chose our bra in their classic black (practical yes, but sleek and modern too), but the signature pink looks fun and flirty…just what you may need during those long mommy days when wearing great underwear makes your day. You may be wearing your husband’s old tee and boxers, but it’s what underneath that counts. Add some va va voom to your undergarment drawer at www.nummies.com

Hip & Smart Travel Gear For Baby
Can you tell we have travel on our minds? When spring hits we can’t help but think of the warm summer months ahead and how fabulous it is to jump on a plane and have a fun family vacation(yes it can be done mommas). How do you keep a wee one busy on long car rides down Route 66 and delayed flights at Heathrow? What do you do when they tire of the DVD and start to whinge?

Baby Must Have: Stylish Passport Holder
What’s the most put together baby carrying these days? A chic passport holder to get herself around the world with mommy and daddy in style. Got a trip to Paris booked? Show up at Charles De Gaulle looking chic and haughty with babe’s new passport carrier.We think Mary Jane Bags makes the best ones we’ve ever had the pleasure of using. Their designs have been featured in Lucky and Instyle magazine, two of our favorites here. The patterns are fabulous and your toddler will love having their own little passport case. They make a brilliant gift for mommy and baby when planning a little family getaway. We chose the oil cloth passport holder in pink toile…so perfectly girly that our little one squeals with delight when she takes it out. When on the road your little one will also need a functional and gorgeous bib to go to all those posh restaurants you’ve been dying to try out. Mary Jane makes some sweet oil cloth bibs that will keep the mess to a minimum while you tour Tuscany and trek through the Outback. Have a peek at all of Mary Jane Bags creations at www.maryjanebags.com
Wipe Without Worry
When something catches GWENYTH PALTROW’S eye it catches our eye too at Celebrity Baby. What does GWYNNIE have in common with us? Our mutual love for ELSIE’S ORIGINAL GERM FIGHTER WIPES. These all natural wipes are perfect for cleaning toys and pacifiers when they fall out of little one’s mouths, as they do not contain alcohol or chlorine. Who has soap and water ready to go 24/7? These wipes in their handy little case will become an addiction. They’re even gentle enough to wipe away that dribble of organic carrots running down you wee one’s chin. We love the scent (organic lavender and chamomile) and how soft they are on our babe’s face. Elsie also makes bum wipes (they have a smidgen of tee tree oil), a germ fighting spray and all natural cleansing wipes…your whole body is covered! We even use them to wipe away makeup after a long mommy day. Try them out and see why Gwynnie always picks a winner. Did we mention that KATIE HOLMES and HEIDI KLUM also know how fabulous ELSIE’S WIPES are? Get cleaned up at www.elsiesoriginal.com
