Pregnancy and Postpartum Wear from Kindred Bravely

by Christine Swearingen Leave a Comment

As an expecting mom, you don’t have to sacrifice comfort for functionality anymore. Get ready to say goodbye to bulky bras, unflattering gowns, and frustrating fastenings, thanks to Kindred Bravely. They have designed three ideal comfort fit maternity wear items that are ideal for your growing body: the Ultra Comfort Smooth Classic Nursing Bra, Clea Bamboo Short Sleeve Classic Pajama Set, and the Eleanora Bamboo Maternity and Nursing Lounge Dress.

The Kindred Bravely Ultra Comfort Smooth Classic Nursing Bra is the answer to your breastfeeding wishes! The bra fits like a glove with a seamless design that eliminates chafing and is undetectable under your clothing. Not only is it comfortable to wear, it has a flattering, feminine cut to give you that extra boost of self-confidence. The straps are adjustable and convert into a racerback so your new favorite bra pairs well with T-shirts and tank tops. It has a one-handed nursing clip that allows you to easily unclip your bra to feed your little one. The padding is removable which makes it a great option for night-time wear.

What goes well with a great nighttime nursing bra? Equally comfortable sleepwear, of course! The Clea Bamboo Short Sleeve Classic Pajama Set is ideal for warm climates and those hot summer months. The breathable bamboo fabric helps to keep you cool and dry even when dealing with hot flashes. The short-sleeved button-down pajama top eliminates the struggle of having to remove your top every time you feed. Forget fussing with clasps and zippers while pregnant or recovering from delivery. These pull-up pajama shorts have an elastic waistband that makes changing a breeze. The set also stretches to accommodate your body’s changes. It evens has pockets!

For daytime, Kindred Bravely created the perfect, fun dress, the Eleanora Bamboo Maternity and Nursing Lounge Dress. The airy dress is lightweight and breathable, made from premium bamboo fabric. It stretches with you as your body grows throughout pregnancy and makes for comfortable day or night-time wear postpartum. With the stylish design, you can easily wear it to school drop-offs or to grab some groceries, and yes, it has pockets too! The Eleanora Dress makes breastfeeding easy with a discreet panel across the top. Once the panel is lifted, there’s a second, lower neckline that gives better access to the breast. It goes perfectly with the Ultra Comfort Smooth Classic Nursing Bra.

You shouldn’t have to sacrifice comfort or style in order to have functional clothing. Kindred Bravely is making sure you can have it all. The Ultra Comfort Smooth Classic Nursing Bra, Clea Bamboo Short Sleeve Classic Pajama Set, and the Eleanora Bamboo Maternity and Nursing Lounge Dress are all designed with moms like you in mind. They’re made to grow with you throughout your pregnancy and provide comfort and functionality during postpartum, and beyond.

Making Life Easier for Moms: Kindred Bravely

by Christine Swearingen Leave a Comment

Things can get busy with a newborn and there is no doubt moms already have their hands full. From their own postpartum care to baby’s care and maintaining some semblance of balance within their home, the last thing any mom needs is something else that’s going to require them to be hands-on. Now imagine if they could pump breastmilk completely hands-free or nurse with ease?

Kindred Bravely created their Hands-Free Pumping Bras with the busy mom in mind. Their all-in-one bra offers multiple layers of comfort with its soft nylon, polyester, and spandex blend that is gentle on both mom’s and the baby’s skin. The innovative EasyClip system has one clip for the pumping layer of the bra and another for the nursing layer, allowing moms to unclip each layer separately so they can breastfeed and pump at the same time without issue.

The Kindred Bravely Hands-Free Bras are designed to fit all standard breast pump flanges, such as Medela, Evenflo, Philips Avent, Lansinoh, Motif, Hygeia, Freemie, Willow, and Spectra, so there’s no need to remove the bra while pumping. Best of all? The bra fits snuggly over the flanges to prevent spilling milk. Moms can pump while going about their tasks with peace of mind. The bra is fitted with a thin layer of padding to ensure there is no restriction to the flow of breastmilk when pumping and this padding can be removed if needed.

Comfort is a top priority for the Kindred brand and they delivered in this design. In addition to the extremely soft fabric, the stretchy material of the Kindred Bra fits your postpartum body and is ideal for all-day wear. The straps are fully adjustable making it easy for you to find the right fit for your comfort. The Hook-and-Eye closure makes it easy to put on or take off, giving busy moms one less thing to struggle with throughout the day. They offer a wide range of sizes from S – XXL, with busty options, fitting sizes 30B-44I, and all sizes come with a bra extender so moms can adjust to their body’s changes during pregnancy and postpartum.

Kindred Bravely bras can be hand-washed with a gentle detergent or washed in a lingerie bag on a delicate cycle in the washing machine then line dried. Lucky for moms, there’s no underwire to be concerned about when machine-washing. They do advise wearing breast pads in order to avoid stains, especially when using ointments or lanolin products. For moms who are concerned about leaking, Kindred Bravely also offers Ultra Absorbent Reusable Nursing Pads that can be worn with their bras.

There’s so much to adjust to with a newborn – from coping with this great change to navigating breastfeeding and keeping on top of your daily tasks. With Kindred Bravely Hands-Free Pumping Bra, multitasking like a mother can be done in comfort! As a bonus, moms get 20% off their first purchase with the coupon code – GUGUGURU20.

Get Some Precious Mommy Me-Time with Kindred Bravely

by Christine Swearingen Leave a Comment

One of the biggest challenges for any mom is finding the time to kick back and relax. Whether you’re preparing for a new arrival or juggling the daily duties of motherhood, that precious window of “me time” gets narrower by the day. Even finding a few moments of respite feels like a pipedream. That’s why we love @KindredBravely, a company that truly understands the struggle of work-life-baby balance. Take it from CEO and co-founder, Deeanne Akerson, who created the Kindred Bravely brand for two reasons: one, to support new and expectant moms with comfortable, stylish, and practical maternity wear; and two, to build a supportive community of moms who help encourage and empower each other along stressful every step of the way. Here are some of our favorite Kindred Bravely products that make the journey of motherhood easier, from the bump to the breast and beyond!

Sublime Hands-Free Pumping & Nursing Bra: When it comes to nursing, efficiency and comfort are key, because Mother Nature waits for no one. Why make breastfeeding more difficult than it has to be? That’s why Kindred Bravely developed the Sublime Hands-Free Pumping & Nursing Bra, a gamechanger for any postpartum mama. Forget about fumbling with bra hooks and uncomfortable wiring; with Kindred Bravely’s patented unique Easyclip™ design, moms can wear the same bra day and night, moving from pumping to nursing without skipping a beat—no cumbersome wardrobe changes necessary. Made with removable padding and ultra-soft fabric, this double pumping bra fits comfortably and securely. Plus, it’s compatible with all standard pump flanges, including Medela, Spectra, Lansinoh, Ameda, Hygeia, Philips Avent, Motif, and Evenflo.

Sublime Nursing Sports Bra: Don’t let nursing throw a wrench into your workout plans. Active moms can now make Saturday morning yoga class without ever having to compromise baby’s feeding schedule. With the Kindred Bravely Sublime Nursing Sports Bra, new mothers have the best of both worlds. Made with breathable, moisture-wicking fabric to keep new moms comfortable during low-impact activity, this bra features convenient clip-down cups for easy breastfeeding access. When baby’s hunger strikes, simply pullover for a quick, convenient pump. Plus, we aren’t the only ones who love this bra. It’s a National Parenting Product Awards winner, too.

Relaxed Mama Athleisure Nursing & Maternity Top: Nothing feels better than cuddling up on the couch in your coziest sweats and comfiest tee. But for new moms, it’s tough finding the time to luxuriate. Kindred Bravely gets it. That’s why they made the Relaxed Mama Athleisure Nursing & Maternity Top. Its buttery-soft, moisture-wicking fabric skims the body, giving moms the perfect amount of coverage for extra comfort. It also features a hidden underlayer for easy and discreet breastfeeding. Go ahead, put it on and relax!

Clea Bamboo Short Sleeve Classic Pajama Set: Just because you’re a mom doesn’t mean you have to forgo fashion for comfort. With the Clea Bamboo Short Sleeve Classic Pajama Set, now you can have both! This classic sleepwear style features sleek piping detail, button-down nursing access, and an elastic waistband to accommodate moms’ changing bodies from pregnancy to postpartum. Its breathable bamboo fabric also helps keep you cool, so you can look and feel good all throughout the night.

Louisa Maternity & Postpartum Support Leggings: We’re living in the golden era of athleisure, so we couldn’t be more thrilled for Kindred Bravely’s Louisa Maternity & Postpartum Support Leggings. Sleek, stylish, and versatile, these leggings are perfect for any woman, especially those needing extra support for a growing belly. Its premium fabric molds perfectly to the body and never loses shape, no matter how many times it goes through the wash. Plus, its ultra-high waist panel creates a flattering silhouette for every shape and size. Dressed up or down, these leggings are so comfortable, you’ll never want to take them off.

Eleanora Bamboo Maternity & Nursing Lounge Dress: Designed to wear before, during, and after your pregnancy, this airy lounge dress is made of super-soft, premium bamboo fabric. Lightweight and breathable with a relaxed fit, it’s perfect for warmer weather (or hot flashes!). The fabric stretches with you throughout your pregnancy, and the nursing panel makes it easy to feed your little one at home or on the go. And, yes, it has pockets. Pockets! You might love it so much, you’ll never want to take it off — and since this two-in-one dress doubles as a nightgown, you won’t have to!

Why You Need This Diaper Bag from Parker Baby Co.

by Christine Swearingen Leave a Comment

Parker Baby Co. isn’t just another baby-centric brand. Founded by a husband and wife team, this small business has taken the market by storm, going up against the most expensive products from top name brands and offering affordable, high-quality, thoughtful products that every parent will love.

The company was founded by couple Kirsten and Sam who were quickly overwhelmed by all the baby products they were told they needed when they had twins in 2015. Ever since, they have strived to redesign these same products to make them multi-functional and fit for the modern family.

The couple now has four children to call their own, and throughout each experience of welcoming a new bundle of joy into their family, they’ve been able to try out new iterations of Parker Baby products and make notes about what they’d like to see added or changed first-hand.

It also has a padded laptop pocket because Parker Baby Co. knows full and well the needs of today’s working and travelling moms.

Add to the list a keyring, built-in changing pad, and stroller straps, and you’ll instantly understand why so many new moms are adding this diaper bag to their baby shower wishlist. Plus, it features a neutral and modern color scheme to boot, so it seamlessly blends into any stylish mom’s wardrobe.

4 Moms Tell Us How These Diaper Bags are a Gamechanger

by Christine Swearingen Leave a Comment

Baby K’tan Diaper Bags

Baby K’tan is well-known and loved for comfortable wrap baby carriers. But, did you know they have two fantastic new diaper bags? Our village mamas had the chance to review these two bags and are sharing their feedback below. Check it out for yourself. If you love what you see, shop now!

The Flex Convertible Diaper Bag gives you the adaptability, practicality, and innovative design you need for ease. With features intentionally crafted to help you take everything you need anywhere you need to go, the Flex lets you and your little ones play, work, snack, and explore with flexibility and simplicity. It’s the bag you’ll rely on while they’re small, and love enough to keep carrying long after the diaper days are gone.

The Sojourn Backpack Diaper Bag lets you pack everything you need for a day trip with your little ones into one pack! Designed to keep your hands free and ready for adventure, the Sojourn includes all the features you love in larger bags, streamlined into an easy-access carry-all, perfect for travel, amusement parks, or wherever the day takes you.

Christine S. – Toddler girl – reviewing the Sojourn and Flex

I love the versatility of these diaper bags. The Sojourn is a perfect everyday bag. It has become my new go to! It is lightweight so even when weighed down with all of my toddler’s stuff, it still isn’t bulky. The tie dye print is AMAZING and I love that it’s washable so I don’t have to worry about it getting messy, no matter what we are out and about doing. It’s roomy and I have no doubt it will have plenty of space to still use when baby #2 arrives in a few weeks!

The Flex is awesome in that it can be carried over the shoulder or as a backpack. I like this one for longer trips, or overnight trips. It has lots of pockets and space and I like having the versatility of carrying style while away from home. Just like the Sojourn, it’s a lightweight material and doesn’t feel bulky even though it can hold all of the things!

Chelsea C. – Toddler boys – reviewing the Flex

As a busy mom with two young boys we also pack what I feel like is an abundance of things. I’ve used backpacks to literal small duffle bags to find what works best for us. I’ve found the Baby K’Tan mesh diaper bag as a great in between alternative. 

 It’s very versatile as it can be carried as a handbag, with the shoulder strap or the shoulder strap converts it into a backpack. It has many pockets for organizing and a great zippered bottom which provides cooler space. I really love the way it was designed, it’s been a perfect diaper bag for us.

Crystal B. – Toddler and baby – reviewing the Sojourn

After going through a few diaper bags with my now 4-year-old, I kinda knew what I wanted and what I didn’t want. I knew one of the things I absolutely hated was rummaging through the organized bag to find what I wanted, to then end up with a messy bag. This in turn made me really despise using a diaper bag when my son came along. Thankfully, we were quarantined so we didn’t have many places to go when my son was born!!

So what I love about this bag so much is that it has a zipper that allows me to FULLY UNZIP THE BAG!! I can open it and see everything that I packed. This bag is great for my 4-year-old and 1 year old so that I can pack necessities. It also has 9 POCKETS!! You hear that moms…9, one of which is an insulated pocket for refrigerated snacks and bottles and another dedicated pocket for wipes! I love the removable wet bag, especially during the summer months to just throw the swimsuits in there when we are done for the day. I also used to carry a separate changing station and now I don’t have to do that because it has one on the backside of the bag. The best thing about all this is that it’s machine washable!!! I can just throw this baby in with the laundry and I’m done! I have to say that Baby K’Tan really listened to some moms and created a great all-in-one bag for many different lifestyles.

Anais Z. – Toddler and Baby – reviewing the Flex

I am quite literally a mess. I love the idea of being organized and I do try but my efforts always fall short. I love the Baby K’tan Flex!! It allows me to maintain a bit of my sanity while toting around 2 toddlers (3 & 1). With just the right amount of pockets and compartments, I can carry around essentials and leave them in there for the next time we go out. There’s an interior side mesh pocket that would fit my tumbler perfectly but I throw 2 pouches and a spoon in there for easy feeding.  

The bottom has a HUGE compartment for literally everything. I use it to store my kids water since they both like ice water. It really comes in handy on a hot day! I can fit about 4 bottles of water and 2 baby bottles comfortably. Other days, I keep snacks there. 

Fortunately (for my wallet), my kids are at the ages where we don’t go thru 15 diapers a day so I just pack 3-4 of each size, along with an extra outfit and wipes and a diaper cream. There are a ton of pockets. I don’t use them much because I know if I do, I’ll lose everything (at least I’m honest with myself). 

I love the Flex because it allows me to carry the right amount of stuff for my kids. My absolute favorite feature of this diaper bag is that it has a soft shell and is super lightweight! I like wearing it messenger style and it just conforms to my body. It’s so comfortable I forget I’m wearing it. Comfort has become key for me. I even use this as a diaper caddy at home! I’ve found so many ways to use this and make it work for my kids and I. 

So in summation, this bag is totally worth it. It’s comfortable and fits a good amount of stuff for my kids with room for my wallet, phone and keys. The insulated bottom is discrete and when full, doesn’t make the bag appear overly clunky. It fits the perfect amount for a day out with kids.

Soothing Scents Expecting Personal Inhaler for Morning Sickness: Those dreaded days full of morning sickness (or all-day sickness) can be behind you! Utilizing essential oils, this inhaler works immediately and is 100% natural. Check with your OB before purchase, but we love the idea of combating morning sickness without added medication.

GLOWE Maternity Leggings: These leggings will be supportive and comfortable from first trimester to the postpartum days! They will give you the support of a medical maternity belt without the bulk of wearing one. Plus they are made from a super soft Italian fabric so you will beat that back pain in style!

The Laundress New Mom Kit: It’s absolutely amazing how one (or two in my case) little babes can dramatically increase the amount of laundry you find yourself doing. The Laundress has created their New Mom Kit to help combat those messy spit ups and blow outs without harsh chemicals, petroleum, phosphate, phthalates, or artificial color. Plus I love that this kit comes with stain remover (a must for little ones) as well as all other detergent products you would need!

HATCH Mama Must-Haves Kit:  An excellent set for pregnant and new moms, HATCH has put together a set of three top selling products. Their Belly Oil is excellent for your moisturizing your growing belly. Down, Girl is  great for relieving swelling in your legs and feet. Nipple + Lip helps keep those special parts (your nipples and lips) hydrated during pregnancy and while nursing. Plus it all comes wrapped in the cutest gift box!

 

Please note that these opinions are 100% my own and I have not received any products in exchange for placement in What’s New on Gugu!
