Maternity Lingerie and Bra Fitting

We have a trained NCT Bra Fitter to fit Maternity and Feeding Bras.

You can visit the shop or be fitted in your own home (Bromsgrove & surrounding areas only)
We offer the Carriwell range of maternity lingerie which has proved very popular and comfortable.
We also offer the large range of NCT Bras. They have some great designs from practical to pretty that will fit all shapes and sizes. (The proceeds from these bras go towards The National Childbirth Trust)

Breasts will usually get bigger and heavier when you are pregnant (although not necessarily for everyone) and wearing a well-fitting bra is important for you to stop ligaments from stretching and keep your breasts supported. Once your baby is born and you start breastfeeding, a well fitted feeding bra will make life easier and more comfortable for you.
Because we stock such a large range of Bras you can be assured of getting a bra that fits you correctly and will be comfortable to wear.

We also stock Washable Breast Pads and Breast Soothers.

You will also find a selection of Pregnancy Support Briefs and Belts and some great Post Pregnancy Briefs including; Support and Shape Brief, and Hipsters which are great if you have had a C-section.

Goto MATERNITY LINGERIE & BREASTFEEDING for the Maternity Section.

Our next group Bra Fitting is at the Breastfeeding support Group - Baby Latte in Malvern on Thursday 7th October.

Mother & Baby in UK market first with breastfeeding mother on cover

Mother & Baby Magazine will feature a breastfeeding mother on the cover - the first time a UK magazine has used such an image.

The August issue of the market-leading parenting title also features a comprehensive breastfeeding survey and goes on sale 9 July.

The survey was conducted by Mother & Baby magazine and online at Bauer Media’s parenting site www.askamum.com and National Childbirth Trust website www.nct.org.uk. The issue will also include a six-page guide to breastfeeding, with a section dedicated to working through any problems mothers may have.

Miranda Levy, Editor of Mother & baby commented: "One of the most unique experiences of motherhood is the intimate joy of breastfeeding your newborn, but Mother & Baby’s research has confirmed what we always suspected, that Britain needs to be more friendly to breastfeeding mothers. We wanted to help challenge and change these perceptions with more positive images of breastfeeding women such as the gorgeous and groundbreaking picture on this month's front cover."

Follow-On Milk Adds Misleading
Nutricia, which trades as both Cow and Gate and Milupa, was told to remove adverts which claimed they could "support" the immune system.

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) ruled the magazine adverts were misleading and such claims should not be made without "robust" evidence.

The World Health Organization recommends that babies are given breast milk exclusively for the first six months and after that it should continue alongside food until the age of two.

In one of the ads for Cow and Gate, a toddler is shown with text stating "still building their self-defences Cow and Gate follow-on milks support your baby's natural immune system".

As well as the immune system ruling, Milupa Aptamil was also told to stop claiming it was the "best" formula milk.
