5 best maternity brands that you can trust

Best maternity brands

A lot is going on inside that body of yours while growing a baby, so knowing the best maternity brands is a must to make sure you’re nice and comfortable during this time.

The Tell Me Baby community has rated the top maternity brands they’ve tried and shared their opinions on what has, or hasn’t, worked for them. (See all of our maternity wear reviews.)

You can also take a look at our maternity wear comparisons to find out the most rated products.

Here are five top maternity brands our community loves

1. Bonds

A popular brand for Tell Me Baby mums is Bonds, which has a wide range of maternity wear from tops, to bras and briefs. Our community of parents highly rate all Bonds products, especially the Bonds Maternity Hidden Support Singlet, Maternity Wirefree Crop and Maternity Contour Bra, with many saying they lived in the singlet top for the first few weeks.

2. QueenBee

Another great maternity brand is QueenBee, which has a wide range of nursing bras to support breastfeeding mums. The best part is they come with a discreet inseam pocket on the inside to put breast pads. QueenBee® – Organic Support Belly Band comes highly recommended in our community of mums, which reviewers said was “a lifesaver!”

3. Medela

Designed for maximum comfort, Medela’s is another great brand that Tell Me Baby mums love. And the Medela Maternity and Nursing Bra won Highest Rated Maternity Wear in 2020 Tell Me Baby Awards. As one mum wrote in her review, “This bra is amazing! Very comfortable with an easy snap opening for feeding.”

4. Belly Bandit

Belly Bandit has a range of maternity clothes, but it’s the Belly Bandit Upsie Belly that Tell Me Baby reviewers can’t get enough of. With a four and a half star rating, mums said these are a must-have item. “The bellybandit upsiebelly band was a life saver during the third trimester of my pregnancy. I had really bad sciatic pain during pregnancy, which became unbearable in the third trimester. Pelvic and back pain was also bad. This band provided me great back and pelvic support which really helped with the pain,” one mum wrote.

5. Modibodi

Although a completely natural part of pregnancy and breastfeeding, no one wants to have to worry about leaks. ModiBodi provides a perfectly comfortable solution to this, so you can say goodbye to pads of all kinds. Both the Modibodi Breastfeeding Singlet and the Modibodi Maternity Brief come highly rated among our community of mums. Many said they were sceptical but pleasantly surprised about how well both of these products worked.

Mums Review Alula Advance+ Stage 3 Toddler Milk

Meet Haley and Kayla, two Aussie mums who recently had the opportunity to try out Alula Advance+ Stage 3 Toddler Milk Drink as part of our Roadtester program.

As parents, they understand the importance of providing their little ones with essential nutrients for healthy growth and development. In this article, we’ll delve into their experiences with Alula Advance+ Stage 3 Toddler Milk Drink and hear what they had to say.

Watch our video below!

Made in New Zealand, this toddler milk drink is a good source of Omega 3 DHA, contains 8 nutrients for immune system function, and features prebiotic GOS to FOS in a 9:1 ratio, along with Lutein. With no added sugar, Alula Advance+ Stage 3 Toddler Milk Drink offers a convenient way to supplement your child’s diet when energy and nutrient intake may not be adequate.

Haley’s Experience: For Haley, the Alula Advance+ Stage 3 Toddler Milk Drink was a hit in her household. She found the taste to be mild and non-grainy, making it easy to incorporate into her toddler’s diet. Whether added to water or blended into a smoothie, Haley appreciated the versatility of this milk drink. As a parent striving to ensure her child receives essential nutrients, she found Alula Advance+ Stage 3 Toddler Milk Drink to be a convenient and tasty option, especially considering its origin from New Zealand.

Kayla’s Observations: Kayla was impressed by the sleek gold packaging of Alula Advance+ Stage 3 Toddler Milk Drink, which included a convenient scoop for measuring. Her toddlers enjoyed the taste of the milk, and she found it effortless to prepare. Kayla’s one-year-old, in particular, drank it enthusiastically, indicating its appeal to young palates. As someone new to toddler milk drinks, Kayla would recommend Alula Advance+ Stage 3 to other parents seeking a nutritious option for their little ones.

Haley and Kayla’s firsthand experiences highlight the positive attributes of Alula Advance+ Stage 3 Toddler Milk Drink. From its mild taste and easy preparation to its nutritional benefits and convenient packaging, this milk drink offers a practical solution for parents aiming to support their toddler’s health and wellbeing.
