Where is good for maternity skinny jeans? Bought a pair in new look on last pg but never wore as they were poor quality and far too loose around the waste despite being the right size otherwise.

I bought a lovely pair in Debenhams last time. Or at least, They looked nice, but were under the bump and I was constantly hitching them up. I bought a similar pair yesterday, but these are over the bump, so way more comfy!

Edited to add, the similar pair also came from Debenhams!

I got a lovely pair of boot cut navy ones with over the bump material. Very comfy. Can't think of the style name and they are packed away in the attic!!!

Tried on the new look ones I bought last time to remind myself what was so wrong with them. Got my size 10 but they were way too big. Never brought them back. Bit of a waste..

Hi Milly33,
Honestly I wouldn't rush to get a pump til you need one.
I'd also highly recommend looking at a double electric pump, it halves the pumping time (assuming you pump from both) and most can be used in single mode.

Assuming am is going well with feeding, pumping isn't recommended til 6 weeks anyway to allow your supply time to regulate.

I have the ameda lactaline double pump, I got it from boots for €74. Around the 6 week pp mark, I got an offer through the parenting club for €30 off any pump, also an offer for €15 off a spend over €60 so it all helped to reduce the cost.

Great value. I think a base pack is the black basket and black part under the pram covers. The colour pack is the red pieces! That's what it was anyway when I was ordering my bugaboo!

I agree 100% with other poster on pumps.....wait till you have the baby. I personally hated pumping, you may end up formula feeding you never know
I used a double pump as did my sister!

Someone posted on here not terribly long ago for advice on a mothercare travel system, and the reports back were that it wasn't great. I can't remember the details though!

I also would say don't buy a pump just yet. If you do want to pump, you're not really meant to do it until baby is around 6 weeks, so I'd hold off and see! There's often different ones reduced! If you really want to breastfeed, I'd spend the money on a breastfeeding prep course instead. I did one on my first, and it was the best money I spent!

I had the Roam... for 4 weeks. Didn't suit us at all, replaced it with a secondhand Baby Jogger City Mini and that was much better.

Milly33

Have you considered buying from the UK? Weak sterling makes the pricing very favourable.

Milly33

Hi Rainbow, dya know we were only saying it the other day I wonder would there be that much of a differance in prices.. might check it out there any uk places your recommend

I actually just got it for 89 on Mama's and Pappas. I went to pay on Littlewoods and it was asking me to set up account etc so i just googled the product and got it cheaper. Happy days!!
