Lactation from Premama
Fenugreek and fennel seed are fantastic for boosting milk production, but fennel’s licorice like taste isn’t for everyone. Premama’s lactation support drink mix is a berry-flavored supplement in a convenient packet designed to mix with non-carbonated liquids.
Fenugreek, Fennel Seed and Blessed Thistle to help naturally support healthy milk production, along with Folic Acid, Vitamin D3, Calcium and other essential nutrients for both mother and baby. Mix it with water or add it to your morning smoothie to keep that milk supply going. Premama Lactation is doctor approved, vegetarian, gluten-free, non-GMO and is made in the USA. Lactation from Premama products can be found in over 2,300 CVS stores throughout the country.
Baby Love Lactation Cookies
It’s hard not to love a chocolate chip cookie… but a locally made, vitamin packed, chocolate chip cookie with organic ingredients that will also help boost your milk supply takes the average cookie to the next level. Just one or two cookies a day (although stopping yourself at one or two might be a new challenge) can help boost your milk supply if you’re feeling low. And just when you think you’ve gone to heaven… they deliver. Makes a great gift for new moms, too.
Natural Nipple Butter
If you’re allergic to wool, you’re probably allergic to lanolin too, making it a not so soothing cream for already sensitive nipples. Earth Mama Angel Baby has created a lanolin free, non-GMO nipple butter is great for sore, cracked nipples… but it also works well on chapped baby cheeks in the winter, rough spots on your skin and even a diaper rash cream. Of course, this nipple butter is totally safe for baby – no need to wash it off before nursing. Apply after each feeding, or as needed on lips, cheeks, heels and elbows. Pick it up locally at Hip to be Round.
Belly Armor Nursing Cover
With technology growing and changing so much, suddenly infants are exposed to a lot more of something we never were: radiation. The Belly Armor Nursing Cover allows moms to nurse in privacy while shielding baby from 99.9% of radiation from cell phones, laptops and other devices. Made with pure cotton outer fabric and lined with RadiaShield® Fabric, a highly conductive silver textile with the same shielding properties as a 1/4-inch thick sheet of aluminum (but much more stylish). It shields by neutralizing incoming electromagnetic waves, canceling out the ambient radiation and reducing your exposure. MSRP $49.
Coobie Nursing Bra
When it comes to nursing bras, mamas feel like they need to choose between comfort and a reasonable price point. Enter the Coobie Nursing Bra. Coobie bras are known for their super comfortable seamless fit at a great price ($22/$24). The new Coobie Seamless Nursing Bra is made from the same soft stretchy materials for a comfortable fit but with an easy to use clasp and drop down cup for nursing. Wider straps and racerback style are designed to keep as much weight off of your shoulders and back as possible keeping you comfortable all day. It has a wide, soft, inner comfort band that helps keep it in place and keep the pressure off your ribs. This style comes in our one size (fits 32A-36D/DD) and is available in Black, White and Nude. Full size available in black only (fits 38A-40D/DD). Try them on locally at Hip to be Round.
Enter to win the Belly Armor Nursing Cover and Lactation from Premama (provided by Belly Armor and Premama). Must be a Virginia resident to win. See full contest rules here.

]]>Fresh air, some sunshine, a little warmth and breastfeeding at the park in front of strangers… Well, the first parts are fun. Clothes with easy access for nursing moms can be hard to come by. But fear not, you don’t have to turn in your style card when you have a new baby. Here’s a few spring styles available at Hip to be Round for spring 2015 that we can’t wait to get our hands on.
Basket Weave Nursing Maxi
Believe it or not this nursing/maternity maxi dress has a hidden nursing panel right behind the top basket weave. Works great for maternity and falls completely flat for a no-way-that’s-maternity look postpartum.
Zahra Applique Dress
Pleats and draped fabric hide easy nursing access just below the detailed neckline. Bonus: you can wear this one pregnant too!
Must Have Maxi Dress
Keep it simple with this solid maxi dress, seam lifts for easy nursing access.
Ikat Nursing Dress
This dress leaves a little room for that post-belly-belly to create a flattering fit, nursing access is hidden just behind the panel.
Gemma Nursing Dress
Cute print: check. Spring colors: check. Nursing access: check.
Enja Cap Sleeve Dress
Perfect dress for work which is great, because the word “pumps” has taken a whole new meaning.
Britney Bubble Top
Dresses not your style? We’re loving the watercolor print. Front pleating covers nursing panel and provides a flattering not-too-snug fit.
Express Nursing Tank
Can’t go wrong with a nautical stripe. This nursing tank is super cute on it’s own or paired with a light cardigan for spring.
Shop all the new arrivals and try them on in person.

Pantone Color Forecast for Fall 2012
We love orange with neutrals like this combo from Design-Seeds
Orange has gained popularity in recent years (Tangerine Tango was the color of the year last year) which is great because it’s bright, sunny, rich and autumnal all at once.
So, since it’s August, and that’s only one step away from everything pumpkin spice, let’s talk about the do’s and don’t of wearing Koi.
Do: Use orange to spice up neutrals; we love koi with steel, navy, nude & brown.
Don’t: be afraid to wear orange if you can’t wear it next to your face. Break it up with a chunky brown necklace or tone it down with a neutral cardigan.
Do: wear it to your baby shower! Not that you must wear blue or pink, but orange makes a fun, gender neutral color to wear to your shower which is especially fun if you’re not finding out.
Try grey and orange for an alternative if you’re tired of browns.
Don’t: shy away from wearing it in the winter. True, orange is synonymous with fall, but that doesn’t mean it’s hands off after November. Ward off the dreary days of January and wear a splash of orange with dark denim and a grey cardigan (you can even wear those basic black flats you’ve been living in).
Do: tread carefully when pairing with black lest we look like a pumpkin on Halloween. If you’re unsure, skip the black, not the orange.
Do: Try orange instead of red. I love red, don’t get me wrong, but koi makes a great statement in an unpredictable way.
One of the great things about your maternity wardrobe is that it gives you a chance to try out a few new trends and wear some things you don’t normally wear (after all, unless you’re a Duggar, you’re not typically pregnant). So even if orange isn’t in your safe-zone – stop in and give it a try!
Left to Right: Orange paired with chocolate brown, black and navy.
Is anyone else planning on giving Koi a try this winter? What is your favorite thing to pair with orange?

Jessica Alba stays comfortable in leggings.
Fall is on it’s way and just because your pregnant doesn’t mean you can’t get in on great style.
Here are the top 7 staples that should be in your maternity wardrobe as autumn arrives…
1 Noppies Leggings.
There is no doubt that leggings are a pregnant girl’s best friend. Pair them with tunics, under dresses, big chunky sweaters, you name it. Just when you thought leggings couldn’t get any better (or more comfortable) one of our favorite maternity brands managed to improve them with a soft stay-put underbelly fit and adjustable waistband making them great for postpartum.
Style Tip: During your pregnancy, your growing belly will bring the hemlines of dresses and tunics a little higher, leggings will give extra-coverage under dresses that have become too short during pregnancy.
2 Skinny Jeans.
While some women balk at skinny jeans for maternity nothing really beats the versatility. Skinny jeans look great pre-fall with a pair of oxfords, tuck into your favorite boots neatly and cleanly and then in spring again (postpartum) with some colorful flats. We love bootcut styles and straight styles, but if you’re only going for one pair, opt for skinny.
Style Tip: When shopping for denim, look for something that you can wear postpartum, like Paige Maternity underbelly jeans which provide a comfortable “muffin top free” fit after baby.
3 We love fitted styles because of how they flatter your bump, but some days you just want to be covered up. A chunky sweater looks great with your leggings or skinny jeans or paired over a slim line pencil skirt for work.
Style Tip: if you’re having your baby in the fall or winter, they provide a good postpartum fit.
If it’s not clear by now we love items that can be dressed up or down and Michael Stars Shine tops hit the sweet spot between dressy and casual. Wear with your skinnies on the weekend and dress it up for the office. Wash and dry this top 1,000 times and it still looks as great as the day you bought it which is great since the gentle stretch and longer fit makes it a top you can count on for week 40.
Style Tip: If you’re tall, pair the Michael Stars Shine top with skinny jeans, if you’re shorter, with leggings. Ruche the top more or less to bring the shirt to the right length for your body.
Wear it to the office, wear it on date night, pop on your chunky sweater and favorite boots for a perfectly put-together fall look.
Style Tip: Fitted dress can double as a pencil skirt when you pair it with a longer top or sweater
Selma Blair tucks her skinny jeans into boots.
The LBD rule doesn’t escape maternity. Fall and winter pregnancies mean you’re going to need something for holiday. Find a black dress with a great fit that you can dress up or down.
Style tip: use accessories to change this dress up: a knit scarf to dress it down, a chunky necklace for a party or a patent belt and matching shoes for something more professional.
If there is any time where you have fewer clothes than when you’re pregnant, it’s postpartum. Many maternity brands have been making life easier for mom by incorporating nursing access into their maternity wear to help bridge the postpartum gap. If you’re headed back to work, nursing access makes pumping easier.
Style tip: Pack this item in your hospital bag to have something flattering and comfortable to go home in.
