Ever since I started using Belli Pregnancy Safe Acne Wash on the advice of Mama-To-Be, I’ve been a fan of Belli Maternity Care. The products are on the pricier side but I find that the quality and peace of mind are worth it–plus, their tubes and jars of creams, lotions, and cleansers go a long […]

The Five Best Maternity Jeans (for the rest of us)
Oh how I enjoy window shopping–whether it be on Spring Street or on Internet Explorer, on Robertson Boulevard or on Firefox. And if you’ve got it, well girlfriend, go ahead and flaunt it. But like most of the mamas I know, I need to be practical when actually pulling out the plastic. So, here are […]

Tame The Wild Animals Cluttering Your Child’s Room
Stuffed animals are cute and cuddly. But all of those plush bears are total space hogs. Baby Mwah started off with just one stuffed bunny, but the animals have multiplied as fast as real bunnies since well-meaning relatives (and sometimes even his mommy) can’t resist buying them. Unless you have a baby too young to […]
You’ll Be the Belle of the Ball in this Hip Baby Carrier
Babywearing enables you to calm and comfort your baby without sacrificing freedom of movement or your sense of style. But the sheer number of babywearing options (wraps, pouch slings, ring slings, padded slings, backpack carriers, hip carriers, back carriers, front carriers, mei tais…and more) can be overwhelming.

Is Breast Always Best?
Dear Mamanista Readers, As you can tell from our frequent reviews of breastfeeding products, we’re very pro-breastfeeding at Mamanista. But– most importantly– we are pro-mama. After her c-section and some other delivery complications, one of Mama Mwah’s friends developed post-partum depression. She also was having a difficult time breastfeeding and suffered a painful nipple infection. Through all of this, the doctors she spoke […]
Ann Taylor Loft Maternity – Looking Good, Feeling Good
Joking with a pregnant friend the other day who happens to be a big firm attorney, I observed that it is difficult to look professional while very pregnant. Cute? Definitely. Glowing? Absolutely. Divinely Gorgeous? Hopefully. But professional is a stretch. I understand that there are many women who are glad to have some increased, ahem, […]
Celebrities and Mamanista are fans of the Bravado Nursing Bra
I heard that celebrity moms like Christina Aguiliera, Jennifer Garner, Julia Roberts and Sarah Jessica Parker all wore nursing bras by Bravado. Celebrity moms can afford the very best, so it was nice to hear that their favorite nursing bra was so reasonably-priced ($45 at figleaves). Since I’ve been looking for a nursing bra that was comfortable, supportive and […]
