Eco Child’s Play

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)
