These are just a few of the lovely comments we have received from customers who shop at our online store "Breastmates". We are a family owned business in New Zealand, and its always a buzz getting emails like this from customers.
I also wanted to thank you for your website – it was a really useful resource for me when I first came home from the hospital with our baby, and played a big part in me being able to continue breastfeeding her until 14 months.
I love your site! I especially love your HotMilk products. They're so sexy and comfortable that I wear them even when I'm not pregnant or nursing. I've recommended both HotMilk and your site to many friends both here and in the US, and purchased bras as gifts for my sisters and sister in law. They just loved them! I wish all the best for your family and business.
I really like your website, and since I've been back at work from maternity leave, i have been telling people about it. Or at playgroup, if it comes up. Its just so good to know where there is really nice bras with knickers that actually match.
Thanks so much for your amazing website, and i'll definitely still carry on recommending it.
I did drop by at your facebook page and your youtube. They are both very informative and interactive. It's seldom we meet people who are more like friends and less like a person doing her daily job. It's apparent that you enjoy what you do a whole lot. I gather that the items you sell are of commendable quality and with reasonable prices. I would definitely mention your website at every opportunity.
I love to support a kiwi Mum who has gone out there and followed her dreams!! And it is such a great website, both for products and for advice!
There is much more variety on your site than there is in the shops, I think - and it's certainly easier than getting out with a newborn. So thanks for your help.
Received my order last week really quickly - thanks!!! I LOVE the Breastfeeding Top in Black!!! It is now my new 'going out' top as looks sooo flattering on.
I am thrilled to be able to start shopping with you (for second baby). It was quite a treat to dust off the old maternity lingerie and find it needs replacement with lovely new stuff.
I wish there were 100 stars that I could give you, Franny! Your service, easy to use website, fast delivery, beautiful packaging, quality and useful items... it all makes for such an easy and amazing shopping experience. Your helpful, non-judgemental advice is amazing! I have just bought my 11th hotMilk bra and its perfect! Thank you for giving me my boobs back and offering my body the support it needs!! I love your prices and all your give-aways, competitions and discounts! You are doing an amazing job - WELL DONE!!!
I will definitely be telling other people about your site, I wish I had known about it earlier!! It's easily the most simple, user friendly site I've come across for all things "mummy". The photos and videos of your products are great - really make you feel confident buying them online.
I highly rate the mumcho ponchos! I have a three month old and find that i can breastfeed anywhere and feel totally comfortable. They are great as well because you do not have to go out and buy specific breastfeeding tops - the ponchos can be worn over your ordinary clothes
I recently purchased one of your super bra's and just wanted to tell you how amazing it is! Im currently 34 weeks pregnant and throughout my whole pregnancy have been suffering for sore/swollen breasts not to mention muscular skeletal pain in the left side of my chest cavity. I also have quite sensitive skin and suffer from exzema so as you can imagine finding a comfortable bra made from a soft fabric that wont irritate my skin is a pretty hard find. I have been wearing your bra day and night and it is so soft and comfortable yet supportive. I just love it and will continue to wear it long even after my pregnancy.
We have a gorgeous collection of
of maternity products online, aswell as
Franny! Used my Swing pump for the first time last night - I LOVE IT!!! So comfy and quick and none of the dreadful noise of the mini-electric. So worth the investment! I'm trying not to get into the awful over-supply issues that I got last time but it's seriously tempting to pump away with such a fab pump!
What can I say, I love shopping from your website! I receive so many compliments whenever I wear any of the nursing tops I've ordered from you. And the steriliser is such a good price!
Hi Frances, Just to let you know I appreciate your website because it can be difficult finding sizes and spending time searching the shops with little one in tow only to be dissapointed. Going through all those pregnancy changes it is great being able to measure and then send away for the right size, it only takes minutes. I am also very happy with the comfort and quality of the HOTmilkproducts
I have got two of the breastfeeding tops, one of the hoodies and one of the red ones. If you are thinking at all of getting one of these, I wouldnt hesitate in saying DO IT!!! They are totally worth it! If you are at all like me and dont want to expose your breast when you are feeding in public, these tops are the way to go. There is only a small slither of breast exposed, and baby's head pretty much covers that up. I didnt have these when I was Bfing my DS 7yrs ago and I think that if I did, I would have carried on for longer as they take away the self consiousness of feeding in public
We have the largest range of HOTmilk Lingerie online
new styles, and all sizes. Such as:
Your website is great - good stuff and good price point compared to others. I am really liking the last Hot Milk bra I got, I'm not sure about the sexy side right after childbirth but it is super comfortable!
Your tops are just great! I am practically living in my breastfeeding sweatshirt. I am impressed by your website, its easy to use and making payment is made so simple.
I LOVE the things I have purchased so far! Jo
BTW your site now looks great (I'm glad you've kept that colourway) and you've got an excellent range of both B'feeding and bottle feeding products and info. I did both types of feeding for both children in order to get my supply up and running- I'll make sure I point new mums your way too.
I love your store, your service and your practical and lovely range, so thank you for bringing breast feeding to the masses!
Hi Frances, got the feeding top this morning. I absolutely love it. A great fit and will make a world difference to feeding with dignity!!! I will tell everyone I know about the site and products, there are several of us due around the same time so will spread the word.
Hi again Frances, I received my nursing cami top from you today - love it thank you!
Your zip nursing clothes are still my favourite and I wear them constantly. They are soooo easy.
Hi Frances. I came to visit you a while ago and bought some maternity pj’s, a bf top and some hemp breast pads. I just thought you’d like some feedback on the products….the breast pads are fab, very absorbent and easy to wash/dry.... The bf top, and pajamas are fabulous, and so is the bracelet I bought too. Although I don’t use the time reminder, it is great to remember what boob I’m on next!
Thanks Frances - I love the breastfeeding t-shirts with the zips so thats why I was back so quickly. I may still be back again to get more.
My baby Imogen loves being swaddled. Even if I just gently hold her hands to her chest her eyelids droop :-) Mine too... But in this heat I was in danger of poaching her in anything else so these are fantastic. And so pretty, they look more like baby saris.
Thanks so much for the Sheep Rattle - it's gorgeous! Thank you also for the prompt, friendly service. It's a pleasure to support a family run business. I'm rapt to have a further offer of free freight - I'll definitely be back!
I always do refer your site- I wear those feeding tank tops I got all the time when I'm out and invariably whenever I unzip it's "oooh! where did you get that!" ;-) Thanks for getting the stuff out so quick :-)
I couldn't resist buying a second pair of the pregnancy pjs they are so comfortable and am sure they will get well used over the summer months.
"I have been really pleased with the nursing cover it makes breast feeding any where easy. I also get lots of comments about what a good idea it is"
Thought I'd let you know, Breastmates is still one of my favourite places to shop.
Thought I'd let you know that I've had heaps of comments about the two nursing clothes I've already got - how good they look yet how practical - passed on your website details as it was yet again to more pregnant friends. I think I am in the middle of a baby boom or something. Anyway thanks for your awesome site again
I bought a ChuChu teat off you the other day.. I have been battling - and i mean battling, since my little girl was 3 weeks old for her to take a bottle. She is now nearly four months and FINALLY she will take some expressed milk thanks to the Chu Chu. Wish I had heard about it earlier as in my cupboard I have every bottle and teat known to man!!
Love your website, great idea. I've become bit of an internet addict since becoming a mum!
Received the items today. The feeding pillow is fantastic. Thank you very much.
We can help you find the right breast pump to suit your needs
Plus we have demo videos & spare parts
Thanks for your help in the past and your brand is going from strength to strength -well done you - keep it up!
Thanks for supplying your products....I really got a lot of use out of them
I appreciate your honesty and the great service you provide. I've certainly recommended your site to many people as I have found it so useful myself. I now get to shop for my sister in Japan who is due feb, so I'm sure you'll be hearing from one if not both of us in the new year.
I have the Sugar Coated Comfort Maternity PJs, and even though my little girl is now sleeping thru (no more night feeds) I wear them anyway cos my husband LOVES them!! Thank you Breastmates!!
Thanks very much frances, love your website ( as you can no doubt tell from my repeated purchases!) things are going well here, and congratulations on your (semi-)new arrival, i enjoyed the photos....lovely to see the family behind the business!
Hi Frances, Just wanted to let you know I'm thrilled with my HOTmilk purchases. Will be recommending to all for sure! Well done to you for great shop online. Enjoy your littlies.
I for one, am a huge fan of your site--I was very excited to see that you are now stocking different sized breast horns for breast pumps too. I was fortunate enough to purchase some differently sized ones a year ago when we were in the States, but it's great to have something NZ based to which I can refer my friends. Keep up the good work.
What a shame I have stopped breastfeeding but just to let you know that i am so glad someone has finally got larger sized maternity bra’s. I got Mastitis from using bra’s that were too small when I am a 20F and I could not find a bra. Next time I am pregnant I will know where to come.
Thanks for your great service and products. (I've told the coffee group girls about your website too). SO handy having an on-line store when babies are small.
Your website is fantastic and the products look brilliant. I really like the personal touch to it all as well. Really glad to have discovered it!
love all your wonderful products you sell! lovely website that makes online shopping easy as well.
Thanks for your prompt service and excellent range of stuff!
Hi Frances. I loved your site and commend you on getting it up 'n running. I will certainly recommend it far 'n wide.
I love the things on your webstore, and wish I had found it earlier!
The two tops arrived today. I just wanted to drop you an email to let you know I am very impressed with them - they are a wonderful quality of fabric and made very well. They are very stylish and the wrap-over design is very flattering to post-baby figures! I am very happy with my purchase & will be spreading the word!
These Breastwarmers are just great. I have Raynauds so they are just the best for keeping me warm. They stay in place and don't really move around so you don't have to worry about any embarrassments of leaking and they absorb like no other. All in all no other pad even comes close to these. I will never buy any other pads I wear them 24 hrs a day 7 days a week. Just perfect.
