My problem is that the tops which fit me best are relatively fitted; this is not a style which suits breastfeeding.Violethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10547452802344363142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085694.post-1131569215632280452005-11-10T09:46:00.000+13:002005-11-10T09:46:00.000+13:00that all sounds so frustrating!as for clothes, I t...that all sounds so frustrating!<BR/><BR/>as for clothes, I tend to think they make most shirts for women a few inches too short. if i get something to fit my back, arms, chest, the bottom of the shirt hits above my belly button. not so good for office wear, you know? besides, i'm 27 and the days of showing off my belly button outside of wearing a bathing suit should be long gone. It's like designers think we all want to wear our pants with thongs exposed and shirts with bellys out. I get cold around the mid-section with all that exposed skin!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14469306039677871693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085694.post-1131550608838079462005-11-10T04:36:00.000+13:002005-11-10T04:36:00.000+13:00yay for you getting out and being baby buggy free....yay for you getting out and being baby buggy free. what a sweet boy to allow you to get out and shop. maybe if you get him a little someting as a thank you , he might watch the baby more for you. but your so very right about getting to enjoy your own 'me' timeAvery's momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10241017449879793578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085694.post-1131523544213357152005-11-09T21:05:00.000+13:002005-11-09T21:05:00.000+13:00mtnw: "Sane, happy mum makes for happy baby" - som...mtnw: "Sane, happy mum makes for happy baby" - someone should tell my baby that!<BR/>I've become a fan of ordering online - I have to stop myself from buying Buffy books from Amazon instead of breastfeeding tops.<BR/><BR/>juliabohemian: it's a good way of discouraging business I think.

It particulary irks me when childrens shops or areas of shops selling kids gear are virtually impossibly to get round with a stroller. <BR/><BR/>Incidentally, I found ezy buy good for post baby clothes, t-shirts etc. They were not especially nice but on the other hand not very expensive and being able to order on-line is good.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04797661728002935006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085694.post-1131443793622037522005-11-08T22:56:00.000+13:002005-11-08T22:56:00.000+13:00I always loved having some free time like that. It...I always loved having some free time like that. It was a real sanity saver--though strangely often ended up spending most of the time buying little presents for the baby. Either that or parenting books at Whitcoulls. Just the fact of being by myself for a bit was wonderful. A good mother takes care of herself.

But don't you feel like you've FORGOTTEN something? (pram, baby, etc).<BR/>Don't feel bad about fitting "big" clothes, either - I went sluming in Warehouse to try and find a cheap black skirt for dancing and I could only fit their XL... as IF!Ali-Bellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08605573956424016864noreply@blogger.com
