Very “Kicky” Nursing Top Giveaway

August 3rd, 2009 • Related • Filed Under
feature photo

August is National Breastfeeding Awareness Month and what better way to celebrate than with a Nursing Top Giveaway from Boob! You read that right — Boob. Isn’t that a great name for a line of amazing nursing tops?

If you know me, you know I loved nursing my babies. In fact, I had a very hard time giving that up with this last baby and only weaned her a few weeks ago when she hit 21 months.  I wrote about that here. The word “boob” was  used often in our home and it served in several parts of speech:  ”The baby needs a boob” or “Would you please boob the baby” or “The baby is boobing.”  So, I was delighted to discover this line of nursing tops named for one of our favorite words and even more excited to give them a try.

Mia Seipel is the founder of Boob and she conceived the idea for this fashionable line while watching her sister attempt to breastfeed her baby in a park in Stockholm while the cold wind blew across her bare waist. She designed the line to look good on Moms through pregnancy and nursing. I was a little disappointed that I didn’t discover the tops until I was almost ready to wean my baby (okay, my toddler), but the company rep assured me that the tops are so fashionable that I would likely  want to continue to wear them even after I was done nursing. She was right. Check out this picture!

Okay, so I don't look as svelte as the model in the thumbnail above, but the top is adorable.

You can’t tell in this picture, but this amazing  top is fitted through the mid-drift and extends to down to mid-thigh. And you cannot tell it’s a nursing top, so I will absolutely be wearing it in the late weeks of summer and early weeks of fall, probably with a fun pair of black print leggings.

In addition to being fashionable, Boob  tops come with a clever patented overlap that allows  for discreet and comfortable access. The opening is simply pushed aside with one hand, leaving the other free to hold your baby. Don’t sacrifice fashion for function?with Boob Nursing Wear you get both.

So, onto the giveaway. Boob is offering a fabulous Boob nursing top to  three readers of Lipstick to Crayons. Here’s how you enter:
