Medela Sleep Bra & Tender Care

Nighttime Nursing Minus the Wardrobe Malfunctions
It's a name us nursing mamas know by heart and after being hooked up to one of their beauties religiously for many long weeks myself, the words pumping and Medela are forever ingrained in my brain. What you may not know is that in addition to their awesome pumps the folks at Medela have been paying attention to what other things a nursing mama needs.
For new moms struggling with sore, cracked or just plain leaky (glorious isn't it?!) nipples, the Tender Care line has pads and shells perfect for soothing your new high priority assets. We're huge fans of the the reusable 100% cotton nursing pads which will not only save you from embarrassing spots but are much easier on the environment than the plastic and packaging heavy, disposable variety.
Once you have all those ouch, latch and leak problems under control it helps to have a comfortable nursing bra that will work with your wardrobe (or lack there of). Medela has stepped up here too with a new collection of intimate apparel, full of nursing bras that are big on comfort and easy on your budget. The Sleep Bra [$20] is a must have for any nighttime nurser. It's supportive yet breathable enough for you to forget it's there, and the tag-less, racer back style help even more. Best of all it slips on over your head so there are no clasps to dig into your back just as you finally settle in. The drawback cup means easy access when you need it and no need to snap anything back into place.
