Baby2Body Loves, Mother's Day Edition: Exercise Gear & Breast Pumps
This weekend marks the second Sunday in May, which means it's Mother's Day for many of our Baby2Body mamas around the world. So, for our May Baby2Body Loves round-up, we thought it best to highlight products we're loving specifically for mothers (and mothers-to-be).
Whether you need a last-minute gift for a new or expecting mama in your life (or if you're wanting to treat yourself), the following selections are tried, tested, and loved by our Baby2Body team and community of mothers around the world. We hope you enjoy, and wishing you all a very Happy Mother's Day!
May Baby2Body Loves: Mother's Day Edition
Honest Mama Kits by The Honest Company
We know our US readers may be familiar with The Honest Company, but it's only recently that they have become available to purchase in the UK, through Boots stores. We've been lucky enough to test them out and knew we needed to add them to our 'Loves' list. Honest has proven themselves as a trusted producer of clean and safe baby products, but they've also recently expanded their line-up for mothers as well. We love their Honest Mama kits (Bump Care & Beyond The Bump), which include products to nourish and hydrate your skin and keep your glow going strong.
Resistance Bands by Cheeky Peachy
This Australian brand has created the most Instagram-worthy resistance bands in a range of sorbet-inspired colors to help elevate your workouts. Available in light, moderate, or heavy resistance levels you can choose what suits your fitness level and movements. We love that you can use these bands to accompany your Baby2Body workouts in our app, too. Resistance bands were created and developed by an Exercise Physiologist to enhance the training experience through the correct activation and stimulation of certain muscles and muscle groups, and they're also great for stretching and the best part is they take up virtually no space in your 'home gym' and can be packed for on-the-go exercise. Check out the full collection below.
Nike (M) by Nike
Nike has spent three years developing the four pieces that make up its maternity collection so you can be sure there is a great deal of thought and love put into every stitch and detail. Designed for mothers, by mothers, it puts comfort and functionality first - without compromising on style. Every piece is designed to grow with you, adapting as your body changes - so your pre-pregnancy size will see you from the first bump to baby and beyond. The range consists of a bra, legging, tank, and pullover, all designed to support you on the ultra-marathon called motherhood. We've linked their innovative sports bra below, but we encourage you to check out the entire range.
Generation 3 Silicone Breast Pump by Haakaa
We recently posted an image on our Instagram of a mama using a Haakaa breast pump and the comments poured in raving about this must-have product. For those of you that haven't heard about it, here's what you need to know: New Zealand company, Haakaa, knows that the last thing you want to do as a mother is compromise your precious breast milk by using a breast pump made with dubious materials that might leak when exposed to high sterilizing temperatures which is why they have produced a silicone one. The Gen. 3 Pump comes in two sizes, is made from food-grade silicone, is compact for easy and efficient usage and doesn't require cords or batteries. If you're in the market for a breast pump, we recommend taking a look at Haakaa's range.
