BoobBaby came about after my experience in trying to establish breastfeeding with my son. After a traumatic birth, which ended in an emergency caesarean and me being very poorly, we found it difficult to get breastfeeding going. It was made more difficult as my son lost too much weight after birth, resulting in a trip back to hospital. This completely knocked my confidence in my ability to feed and nourish my son and I was very close to giving up breastfeeding altogether. However, after a stern word from a midwife and with some determination, we stuck at it and have not looked back since. As a result of my experience I have become increasingly passionate about breastfeeding and think that there needs to be more support for women who want to breastfeed, but are finding it difficult.

There is a wealth of excellent information and advice on the Internet, and also excellent telephone support from breastfeeding charities. However I have found it difficult to find straightforward, accurate information quickly. Some websites who sell breastfeeding supplies do provide breastfeeding information however I have either found this information to be inaccurate and unreliable or too long winded for a busy breastfeeding mum to take in relevant points. So the aim of BoobBaby is to not only to provide quality breastfeeding supplies, but to also provide information and advice about breastfeeding that is easy to read and easy to find quickly. I have done a lot of research and the information on the website is from reliable, trustworthy sources. It covers the main issues experienced by breastfeeding mothers and aims to complement information from breastfeeding charities and organisations. There are also links to other reliable sites that offer more in depth information.

Here at BoobBaby, we pride ourselves in not only offering quality products at competitive prices but also offering outstanding customer service. As a small, family run company, we are able to pay close attention to our customer needs and provide on-going support and information, something that the larger companies cannot provide. Here are some recent reviews from our customers:

“Hi, I just wanted to thank you for such amazing service, I only ordered my spare part yesterday afternoon and it was delivered by 9.30am this morning. I will definitely recommend you to my friends and will use you again should I need to. Thank you (Niki, Suffolk)

“Thanks for the excellent customer service; I will recommend you to my other pregnant friends!”

We stock an eclectic mix of products including breast pumps and accessories from leading brands including Ardo, Medela and Lansinoh, along with products from independent, family run brands such as nursing covers from Mamascarf and Baby BuBu, Nursing Tea from Neuner’s, Belly Bands from BelleBelly and gorgeous handmade nursing cushions from Thrupenny Bits. We also stock nursing bras and vests from the increasingly popular Emma-Jane Maternity.

Our aim for the future is to expand our product range and this year we already have plans to add some gorgeous bamboo nursing pads and some breastfeeding necklaces and bracelets to our range. We are also aiming to expand our information section. Of course, no matter how much we grow we aim to maintain our record of providing great customer service.

What was the tradition?
From a very logical point of view, the whole ceremony of was a way of bringing women together, so that they could advise the expecting mother about the do’s and don’ts of pregnancy as she nears the time of child birth. It is a time, when gifts are brought to the expect mother by her near and dear ones, along with words of wisdom. With the advent of technology, there is a lot of expertise available and awareness of precautions that need to be taken. But, the ceremony of Baby Showers continues to be organised in order to celebrate the child who is about to be delivered.

The common practices
Although there are no fixed set of rules as far as baby showers are concerned, over the years there are a few common practices which are shared in most of the ceremonies. It is not uncommon to find baby showers being organised multiple times for family, friends or office colleagues. In fact, there are some people who celebrate the occasion of baby showers not only for birth through pregnancy, but also in case a child has been adopted.
It is common practice for the best friend of the expecting mother, also commonly the bridesmaid, to throw the party for baby showers. The whole function is to ensure that ahead of her impending motherhood, a woman gets all the supplies that she wants along with plenty of advice, tips and checklist of precautions too.

Events at Baby Showers
Baby showers mark an event when women folk share some laughter and excitement. There are various games played like guessing the birth date of the baby or trying to cut ribbons or toilet paper to find out the girth of the expecting mother. There are other interesting games like testing the flavours of baby food, throw games and in general some partying. There is cake cutting along with opening of gifts too, discussing their merits and usage.
This is the time when the expecting mother receives lot of items from her friends who try to pass on the baby articles they don’t need any more once their child has grown up. These could include dresses, sweaters, sleeping bags, trolleys, accessories, baby carrying bags etc. Not only will this save a lot of money for the expecting parents, it also builds a great sense of camaraderie. They feel more confident and secure knowing that there are lot of friends and people who have been there, done it, to see them through thick and thin. In short, baby showers turn out to be the big event, where it finally sinks in that the baby is going to arrive soon, thus allowing expecting parents to gear up in preparation for the child’s arrival.

Baby shower themes
Baby showers are also organised sometimes with lot of pomp and celebration in the same way that weddings or engagement parties are celebrated. If you want to make it a memorable day, you can go for various themes. The importance of having themes is that everything that happens at the event is focused around the theme and so the planning needs to be more intensive. If you are looking at cute animals or cartoon characters for your baby shower theme, your invitation card should reflect it and so should the decoration at home. The cake and the toppings should also bear resemblance with the theme, filling the ambience with cute cartoon characters, soft toys like teddy bears and lot of adorable posters all around.

Some parents use a lot of green plants and flowers as a symbol of hope and beauty. Sometimes the colours of the flowers are chosen to reflect the cartoon characters like Winnie, if that is the theme of the shower. There are also loads of pictures of friends and family as it is a common belief that happy and smiling faces always have a positive effect on the soon-to-be-delivered baby. Festoons, ribbons, colour paper and balloons, cribs with lots of toys and cosy and adorable paintings are all part of the celebration.

Supplies needed for baby showers
You will need a lot of supplies handy to prepare for the baby showers party. You will need a lot of candies, preferably in many different colours, to suit the festive spirit. You will also need lot of decorative tags, for tagging the personalised favours, labelling the gifts and used items that have come from various friends and the tips you received too.

Other common items seen at such functions include picture frames, personalised favour bags, frosted plastic cups, decorative paper lanterns, block candles, favour wraps, personalised cake bags and cookie cutters, to name a few. You need to start planning at least a month in advance if you have a strict budget to stick too. You will need this time to decide on the party favours which you would hand over to the guests, the kind of cake you will order, the decorations you will have at your place and most importantly preparing the guest list.

Ideas for baby shower gifts and favours
If you are organizing the baby showers you can conjure lot of ideas for favours. This could include baby blankets, cute card holders, glass photo vases, personalised cameras, shower candles, LED tea lights, table decorations, candles, scratcher games, candy pearls, flavoured jelly beans, save the date magnets, sticky notes, cookie cutters, party napkins, trivia games etc.”

Similarly if you are planning on gifting items, remember the best gifts with a personal touch are those you needed for your own baby. It is like a bond that you share with the expecting parents. You can also buy gift sets with baby games, glass ornaments and photo frames to decorate the nursery, photo books, animal blanks, keepsake boxes, diaper stackers or fortune shakes. The celebration is all about loading the parents with stuff they can use when the baby finally arrives.

Many parents these days are turning to items such as M&S’s Christmas Hampers, which offer both convenience and pleasing selections. These hampers, for those who may be unfamiliar with them, essentially consist of a number of different items within whatever theme applies to the particular hamper. For example, there are a number of different alcohol-related hampers, or hampers that include cheeses and crackers, which are meant more for adults. However, for children a lot of mothers enjoy looking into the more treat-oriented hampers, which can consist of appealing selections of cookies and treats that are perfect for kids during the holidays.

Another thing that many mothers worry about along these lines is what sort of food to serve during the holidays. While treats such as the ones mentioned above are almost a necessity during the holiday seasons, you probably also want to consider the health of your children and family. However, you also want to cook unique and delicious recipes that your family will look forward to in holiday seasons to come. Fortunately, the question of how to create a healthy and tasty meal is not a new or unexplored one. Because of this, there are a number of different discussions and selections that deal with this topic online and in magazines. This means that, if you are seeking a healthy way to provide a good meal for your family come Christmas time, you will certainly be able to find one.

Looking into some of the options listed above can go a long way toward alleviating some of the tension that comes with the holiday season. Particularly for mothers, this tension can result in stress that detracts a bit from the enjoyment of the holidays. However, preparing in advance, and having exciting things to share with your family and children, can do exactly the opposite. A well-prepared holiday is a more enjoyable one for everybody involved.

One of the biggest challenges is to fill your wardrobe with clothes that are going to fit and be comfortable, as well as being able to expand with your growing bump. These days there are some ingenious ways of expanding your current wardrobe, but there’s no doubt that you’ll need to invest in some maternity wear to help get you through your pregnancy.

Your maternity wardrobe should be much like your normal one; you want a variety of clothes that you can mix and match, and feel good in. Invest in a good pair of maternity trousers in a dark colour and a good pair of maternity jeans for casual days.

Maternity dresses are great for making you look and feel good, plus they are nice and roomy and light. The great thing about maternity dresses is that they can be dressed up or down. Chances are you’re still going to have a fancy meal out, birthday party or wedding to go to while you’re pregnant so you want to make sure that you have at least one dress that can be dressed up.

Tunics and short summer dresses are also another great option that can be worn with leggings. This is much lighter and summery than wearing jeans or trousers. Plus leggings are already stretchy and comfortable, so they are great for pregnant women looking for a practical, everyday wardrobe solution.

Shoes can also be problematic during pregnancy too, especially for those suffering from swollen feet and ankles. Luckily, more shops now offer wide fit shoes, although sadly ladies, skyscraper heels might be out.
