Wintry spring

So it snowed last night. Again. It supposed to be spring, after one of the wettest and coldest winters on record. Needless to say, I am sick of the freezing weather and I can’t wait for storing away my winter coats and boots.

Is spring being kinder to you guys?

Instant success adventure book

Posted on March 30, 2013 by mamalooks

When we borrowed “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt” from the local library to have something new to read during the Easter holidays, we expected that our boy would like the book. What we didn’t know is that the first time we read the book, we would have to do it about 10 times straight.

So, if you have a child you loves family adventures and is fascinated by bears (or any animals for that matter), this is the book for you.

7 Fail-safe Spring & Summer Fashion Items from H&M MAMA

Posted on January 21, 2013 by mamalooks

It’s freezing and raining (or even better, snowing) outside, but shops have started stocking pretty flowery things already. H&M, as always, has the best maternity basics a pregnant gal can wish for. I really recommend the nursing vest, they are perfect for layering on cold winter nights when your child feeds several times a night (like mine).

Where the wild books are

Posted on January 15, 2013 by mamalooks

Hi there, how has the new year been so far? Hanging tight to all those resolutions?

I wanted to share some fantastic books we have been enjoying lately, the little boy can’t have enough of them!

Any good suggestions for a 2 and a half year old with a wild imagination?

nursing tip for cold winter nights

Posted on January 3, 2013 by mamalooks

This great tip is taken from Elizabeth Pantley’s The No-Cry Sleep Solution book, and it’s so useful when you have to nurse your child several times on cold winter nights. The book didn’t work for my son to sleep through the night, but it is an interesting read, specially if you are craving some uninterrupted rest and don’t want to go through the sleep-training route. It might work for you, you never know!

8 whimsical breastfeeding-friendly dresses from People Tree

Posted on December 31, 2012 by mamalooks

Hey hey!

I hope you all had a great Christmas, ours was nice and quiet, with the traditional family meals and (too much) good food.

I am sorry I haven´t been able to post regularly lately, as I said before I have started a new course and I am very busy with the assignments. I am also working on a new exciting addition to the blog.

But hey, I think I bring you all nursing mamas an interesting post. I have been breastfeeding my son for almost 30 months now and fashion-wise the most challenging part is always finding suitable dresses. So I nearly jumped of joy when I found all these cute printed nursing-friendly dresses on People Tree, the fair trade and sustainable fashion brand.

(Psst, some of them are on sale!)
