After my first son was born weighing in at 9 pounds 11 ounces, I was lucky enough to lose most of the weight that I carried throughout my pregnancy in the first several months, much of it thanks to breastfeeding! I was comfortable enough less than 6 weeks later to get into pre-pregnancy dress pants and tops for the Christmas holidays.
When my second son arrived 19 months later, my body was not snapping back like it had before. I was watching what I ate (especially so, as my son had some allergies) but for the first 6 weeks, exercise was out of the question (not to mention next to impossible to find time for with 2 under 2!) How was I to be expected to enjoy the summer outdoors with my boys when I wasn't even comfortable in my own skin?
Enter... the Mother Tucker! Not long after I started working at Nicki's Diapers did I discover this wonderful product. It's a compression tank top that smooths over the dreaded Mommy Muffin Top. It's comfortable and not overly heavy. I found it to be completely discrete under clothing, but I also chose to wear it occasionally on it's own! It gave me the confidence and motivation to get back into my pre-pregnancy wardrobe and allowed me to enjoy my time with my boys, rather than worrying about what I looked like.
Belly Bandit, maker of the Mother Tucker, has since gone a step beyond and above! They recently released the Mother Tucker Nursing Tank! It has all the features of the original Mother Tucker but with convenient slide-over cups for discrete nursing. With my THIRD boy due this fall, you can bet that I will be making sure the Nursing Mother Tucker is part of my after-baby wardrobe!
Belly Bandits and Mother Tuckers are a favorite of celebrities like Kourtney Kardashian, Halle Berry, Christina Applegate, and Jennifer Garnder. We all may not have access to 24/7 chefs and personal trainers, but this is one tool that we can all have to help us get our stylish mommy figures back!
Belly Bandit was so generous to sponsor a giveway to give one of our lucky blog followers a Mother Tucker Nursing Tank of their own!
