Slurp & Burp

Slurpburp_wearI wish I had a Slurp & Burp when I was breastfeeding Madelyn. Not only does it have a built in burp cloth but the patented design allows mom to nurse discreetly without covering her baby.
I loved the way Madelyn would stare at me while she was breastfeeding. When we were at Grandmother’s house we couldn’t make eye contact when I was using my nursing cover which I didn’t like. This product is a great solution for that problem.

Missy’s product, the Slurp & Burp, gives expecting moms a reason to get excited about breastfeeding.  Breastfeeding doesn’t have to be dull and boring. Mom can make breastfeeding time fun and colorful by choosing from one of seven Slurp & Burp colors/patterns.

You won’t believe how easy the Slurp & Burp is to use. It is worn like a sash. Simply put it over your head and rest the burp cloth on your shoulder. Then put your other arm through the loop of material. Wahlah! Your breast is covered while baby is eating. You don’t have to take the Slurp & Burp off to switch sides. Simply lift it off the current arm and rotate it to the other arm. That’s it.

The Slurp & Burp is machine washable and made of lightweight cotton.

The Slurp & Burp is so comfortable that I didn’t realize I’ve been wearing it the whole time I’ve been writing this post!

Cheri Nursing Pillows

A nursing pillow is one of many items on most expectant moms "to buy" list. Unfortunately, most expecting moms don’t know that they have a choice when it comes to buying a nursing pillow. Visit the local baby store and you are sure to be bombarded with the ‘big brand’ nursing pillows, but is that the right pillow for everyone?

I wish I had a Cheri Nursing Pillow when Madelyn was breastfeeding. The main reason why is because  of the size, weight, the overall portability, and the ease of use of the Cheri Nursing Pillow. I remember many times that Madelyn would wake screaming to eat and it seemed like it took me forever to get situated with my nursing pillow… one of the big brands. 

The Cheri Nursing Pillow is the perfect size for storing, taking on trips, and for using in many different positions.

Once we stopped at a rest stop, I had to get my large big brand, nursing pillow out of the trunk, then I would spend a few minutes trying to get situated with it wrapped around me while in the front seat of the car all without sharing my breasts with the nice people at the rest stop. Try to be discreet at a rest stop with a huge nursing pillow.. it doesn’t work!

I recommend the Cheri Nursing Pillow to expectant moms and new moms. This nursing pillow also makes a GREAT gift!

The Cheri Nursing Pillow is available in nine colorful fabric patterns.
