How To Dress For Work as a Pumping and Nursing Mama

September 3, 2019 by workingmama No Comments

Before I got pregnant, I swore that I wouldn’t buy special clothes for pregnancy and postpartum. After all, it was only a short season of my life, why should I spend the money on that? Then, I realized that this was the only time in my life I could truly, shamelessly, shop the pregnant lady section of the internet and stores and thought I should take advantage of that. On top of that, I realized that postpartum life had its own special needs, and my go-to wardrobe staples of knit pullover shirts and blouses just didn’t quite fit those needs anymore. Namely, I wanted to pump at work without having to completely undress and take my top off and sit half naked in a room where I may or may not get inadvertently walked in on. My workplace does not have a dedicated pump space, so, yay! After a bit of trial and error, I got my perfect formula down for dressing for work while pumping for baby.

Ekouaer: My Favorite Maternity/Nursing PJs

August 6, 2019 by workingmama No Comments

I used to always sleep in a T-shirt or nightgown, and this was more than adequate well into third trimester. After a certain point though, the belly was just too big for the T-shirt to comfortably fit over. I also realized that I would need something with nursing access, as I figured I’d be nursing the baby all day and all night long. I needed it to be still ultra comfortable, hopefully stylish, and I didn’t want to pay an arm and a leg!

In search of the perfect work bag: long-haul flights while pumping, with the Longchamp Le Pliage Expandable Weekender

July 26, 2019 by workingmama No Comments

Recently on my international work trip I found myself thinking a lot about how I would bring all my mom stuff (e.g., pumping stuff) with me everywhere and on the plane for a 15 hour flight. I needed something big enough to to fit all my pump stuff, including a large industrial strength milk cooler to keep everything cold, and ideally be able to carry on beside me in addition to a very large backpack I intended to keep in the overhead compartment. It had to be durable and lightweight. Something fashionable would be a bonus, as well as something expandable (in case I needed to bring back more than I brought over), and shrinkable to a reasonable size to double as a daybag if needed.

In search of the perfect work bag: Lily Jade Elizabeth review and why I returned it

July 24, 2019 by workingmama No Comments
So, I will admit, I succumbed to the aggressive social media and influencer marketing strategy of Lily Jade. Their diaper bags are so beautiful on Instagram! They convert to backpacks! They are full grain leather! Lots of organization inside! I fell in love with the look of the Elizabeth bag, especially in camel. It looks so incredibly chic, and I thought those outer pockets also would be so handy for organization too. I thought the search for the perfect work bag that would hold the long list of all the things I needed to bring to work (and in style) would finally be over.
