Contests

I have a Bebe au Lait nursing cover and I use it all of the time. It’s a “breastfeeding essential” in my book. I can breastfeed anywhere – discreetly and comfortably! Enter to win one of your own over at “Deal”ectible Mommies before July 8.

Did you know that JCPenney has a Baby Registry? I took a brief peek at their product offerings and they have some nice things, but I’d like to see more unique products in their line-up (Bebe au Lait, Shower Hug, Majamas pajamas, etc.) and I’d also like to see some in-store amenities for pregnant/nursing moms (nursing lounge, play area for toddlers, free maternity portraits, educational sessions, etc.). All that to say, Mom in the City is giving away a $100 gift card to help promote the registry service. Deadline: July 31.

Cool Deals

DownEast Basics has some classic maternity tees and tanks on sale for $5-$10. That’s a great deal and they look like versatile pieces you could wear for the whole 9 months. Has anyone tried the DownEast Basics brand?
