Our mum tester Lorna said: "This product definitely made my life easier as a new mum. It was an easy decision to buy this brand to pop in my hospital bag and I wouldn’t have considered any other brand. The product worked quickly, it was very soothing and really helped to protect sore cracked nipples. When my babies started teething they would sometimes bite when feeding and this product was brilliant if they accidentally caught me. I have also used a little bit of this product on the seams/binding of cloth nappies which helps soften them rubbing against my baby's skin."

Lola & Lykke breastfeeding starter kit includes everything you need to get you started on your breastfeeding journey - a pump, storage bags, nursing pads, carry and cooler bag, nipple teats, spare silicone part, baby bottle and 24/7 breastfeeding support. The Lola & Lykke pump itself is a smart electric pump that's wireless, lightweight and portable. It charges through a USB port and has smart, touch screen technology.
Our mum tester Natalie said: "I really liked using this product, it was easy to use and easy to install. I wish I had two so I could pump both breasts at the same time to save time as pumping one breast at a time takes too long. The breast pump is quiet and not noisy like others and the glide pump is so smooth I didn't feel that my nipples were being pulled off."

Sizes: XS to 3XL | Material: 95 per cent cotton, 5 per cent spandex | Zips from bottom to top for easy feeding access | Award: Won Bronze at the Mother&Baby Awards 2023 for Best Product For Breast Feeding
The Natal Active breastfeeding, nursing and maternity hoodie is a stylish hoodie that's suitable during pregnancy and post-natal when breastfeeding. It's made from thick cotton/spandex fabric with a fluffy fleece lining for added comfort. This cute hoodie, also seen on former Love Islander Camilla Thurlow, has a discreet zip that's long zip from bottom to top to keep you warm during the colder months.
Our mum tester Joanne said: "The hoody is really comfy and excellent for the colder months. The stretchy material makes it good for pregnancy (I received mine after the baby was born) and also for changing body shape in post-natal days. The zips are an excellent size and position for access and not in any way scratchy for the baby which was perfect. I didn’t have anything for colder weather for easy access so this was perfect."
