how to be a hot mama


Finding functional nursingwear that's pretty is almost as hard as finding good daycare.

Filling that void beautifully is Bella Materna, a line of gorgeous goodies for the breastfeeding (or pregnant) mom. Loungewear, bras, slips and more, all in decadent Italian fabrics, pair incredible functionality with to-die-for styling. The butter-soft material has a technical edge; it allows moisture to evaporate faster than cotton does, so you stay cool and dry (plus it won't fade, stretch out or pill). Our favorite: the Sexy Nursing Cami, a piece that more than lives up to its name with a flattering V-neck shape and skinny straps (a built-in shelf bra offers hidden, comfortable support). From $22, 888-700-8438;

products to get pumped about


Pumping on the go doesn't have to be a major hassle.

The lightweight Medela Harmony is a manual breast pump designed to speed up letdown and milk flow. Multiple handle positions and fewer pieces to assemble and clean make it a go-anywhere must. Toss it in your bag with a package of Medela Quick Clean Anti-Bacterial Wipes ($9.99 for 24). Just one swipe completely disinfects all the pump parts, removing harmful germs and bacteria. (Because you don't need to rinse afterward, the wipes are also great to use with high chairs and changing tables.)

$49, 800-435-8316; medela.com.
