It’s interesting that Medela has never had a product that comes in contact with Mother’s Milk which contains BPA.
It’s exciting that they have a line of Nursing Camisoles.
It’s delightful that they’re pretty.
It’s thrilling that they’re giving one away to one EcoChildsPlay reader. Just thrilling.
As you probably know, bamboo fabric provides enhanced breathability, natural anti-bacterial properties as well as the ability to quickly absorb moisture. Additionally, many moms appreciate bamboo’s eco-friendly qualities — recognized as one of the fastest growing plants in the world, bamboo is extremely renewable and doesn’t require pesticides. It also helps replenish fresh air, producing more oxygen than an equivalent stand of trees. Additionally, the bamboo used in the Medela Nursing Camisole is Oeko-Tex certified ensuring environmentally-friendly practices.
“A mom who is just learning to breastfeed worries frequently about how she can breastfeed or pump easily and discreetly,” said Anne Ng’ang’a product manager of intimate apparel from Medela “Nursing camisoles are a great option for these moms. They make nearly any outfit breastfeeding-friendly and make it easy to express breastmilk without exposing the tummy.” Let me tell you something ladies, my “baby” is 7 years old, keeping my tummy covered is still a priority. This cami is cut long so that there’s no exposure between jeans and shirt.
Keeping modesty and support in mind, Medela designed its Nursing Camisole with an extra layer of fabric between the bra shelf and the outside layer. The Nursing Camisole features a scoop neck, comes in black and white and is offered in sizes ranging from small to extra large. It will be available in stores by the end of October at a suggested retail price of $44.99. (Shoot, quality isn’t cheap)

Jessica, you rock. My bed sheets are a bamboo cotton blend and I love them, I would love to have this nursing top in time for my second baby, due November 5th, the day after my bday! I have some nursing attire from my last pregnancy but having another top or two would be nice. And I like black, its a nice slimming color.

Thanks!
My bamboo/cotton sheets are so soft. I would really like to try the black nursing tank.
well, considering I just found out I’m preggers w/ #2 (after nursing #1 for 18 months)….a black one would be fabu!
Love this! I would like one in white.
And I posted a link to this contest on my facebook page.
i had a bamboo long-sleeved nursing blouse that I loved last winter! I’d *heart* a cami in black. Thanks so much!
What an awesome idea! I love black.
I would love this in black! As an extended nursing mom (first baby went 3.5 years, this one is 1 and still going strong!) I go through nursing clothes and bras pretty frequently and love Medela’s quality. The bamboo sounds interesting!
I would like one in black.

I don’t have a facebook or twitter, so I’ll have to settle for one entry. Either color would be great. . . my 3rd is due in December. !
I would love the black one; i’d wear it with a blue jean miniskirt and leggings!
Wow, that is pretty! And I am in the market for some nursing garb — that black cami would be great for me under a jacket or sweater.
ooooh – i could use a white one – nursing my third as we speak (er…type). blogged it at http://www.babybunching.com/baby_bunching/2008/10/calling-all-bab.html and twittered at http://twitter.com/babybuncher2
The black would be my choice. I had a few nursing tank tops when my daughter was little and they all disapeared. I think they got left in a dryer at the laundromat.
Please enter me! I would love a chance to win one in black!
thanks for such a generous giveaway
Thanks for running this contest, I could really use a new tank!! I’d like a white one. I linked to the contest on my website.
white – I am still lacking any decent nursing attire, since things went so horribly with my first. This time around, we’re already at 4 1/2 months & no signs of slowing down. Maybe it’s time to buy some nursing bras that fit properly!
I am breasrfeeding my 2nd baby and would love to try this shirt in black

This is beautiful. I’m done nursing (after 6 kids, 15 years!) but my daughter has a very beautiful little girl who’s really attached to Momma.
My daughter would probably like black…it shows the assorted adventures a little hands a bit less!!
Thanks for the intro to something new and different!

I would love one in black. My little girl just turned a year and is still extremely fond of nursing… which is good as I’m in no hurry to cut her off.

Would love one in black! I’m expecting my first baby soon.
A great find….nursing tops are so useful, and the tanks are especially versatile. I would wear this out in white, and likely purchase another in black once I fell in love…..
i would also love one in black. thanks for the great giveaways!
Sounds tasty! I will have to try it!
Oh this would be so nice… my small town has no place that sells maternity clothes let alone nursing clothes. I have to drive a full hour to get to a store that does. I would love one in black.
