One Dress, Three Ways

stephani — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 22:49:38 +0000

A must have for your wardrobe this Spring is the Maternal America Convertible Dress/Skirt. We are loving the versatility of this piece and the fact that you can get so much use out of just one item. It can be worn as a tube dress, knee length skirt, or maxi skirt.

Fire Pro CPR

Don’t miss out on this life saving opportunity on Wednesday, February 15. Local firefighter, Nick Schaumburg, will be at Xpecting Maternity Boutique to teach infant and toddler CPR. This is something all parents, grandparents, mom-to-be, and even babysitters should learn.

You do not need to be a new parent to take this class, but it was designed to teach what a new parent needs to know – infant and child cpr, use of an automatic external defibrillator, and choking prevention.

Packing Your Hospital Bag

stephani — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 18:28:35 +0000

This is something you don’t want to wait until last minute to do. Packing your hospital bag is essential so that you don’t forget any last minute items. We typically recommend you have your bag packed a month and a half before your due date. Here are Xpecting’s top 6 must-haves:

Dear Johnnies hospital gowns will keep you look stylish while you are in the hospital.

A good nursing tank is ideal for lounging, nursing, and to greet visitors. We offer them in multiple brands such as Bravado and GlamourMom. They both have a built in bra to make nursing easier for new moms.

If you’re planning on nursing, it is essential to find a good, supportive nursing bra. We offer custom fittings in the store to help you find your size. We carry multiple brands such as Bravado, Bella Materna, BelaBumBum, and Elle Macpherson.

Get cozy with a comfortable pair of Juliet Dream soft panel lounge pants. Pair it with a nursing top and cardigan for stylish comfort.

Don’t even think about leaving home without the Bella B Nipple Nuture. We recommend you start using this from day one of nursing to avoid dry or cracked nipples.

We are partial to these Aden + Anais swaddle blankets because they are so cute and multi-functional. Use them as a burp cloth, blanket, swaddle, sheet, and more.

A couple more things you will probably need are toothbrush, toothpaste, cozy slippers, camera, cell phone, and your baby’s coming home outfit. With these essentials packed and ready to go, you’ll be able to focus on the birth of your baby rather than worrying about what you forgot. In the case that you did forget something, we offer free delivery to Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach. Just give us a call and we will bring you anything you need from our store.
