When I was pregnant with Blondie Boy my Dad sent me over some XXL t-shirts because I had nothing that I could sleep in. I loved sleeping in those big t-shirts but it would have been nice to have some cute, pretty pajamas that fit over my bump, too. The review below is from my friend and fellow expat Meg from the Rare Bit who's expecting her second baby this June.

When I was pregnant with Blondie Boy my Dad sent me over some XXL t-shirts because I had nothing that I could sleep in.

The review below is from my friend and fellow expat Meg from the Rare Bit who's expecting her second baby this June.
Want to hear a pitiful story? Of course you do! When I was preparing for the birth of my son, everybody told me not to bother packing any nice pajamas to wear in the hospital. “Everything will just get gross, so just bring something you don’t mind getting ruined” seemed to be the overwhelming advice. So I resisted the urge to buy something pretty and special, and just threw some old things in my hospital bag. But after my little boy was born, and we were happily ensconced in the maternity ward, I wanted something a bit nicer to put on. It seemed that all the other mummies were wearing cute PJs, and there I was in my ratty old yoga pants and t-shirt. Don’t get me wrong, I was ecstatic to have a healthy baby and with my new role as a mother, but as trite as it sounds, it would have been nice to have something special to put on that matched how special I felt.
So now that I’m expecting another baby, a fun new set of PJs was definitely on the list of things to pack in my hospital bag, which is why when Hot Milk approached me about reviewing some of their night wear, it felt like kismet. My knowledge of Hot Milk mostly centred around their fab nursing bras, which I had seen both in store and online through different retailers. I always noticed how their nursing bras never seemed to compromise between style and function, and I was hoping the night wear would live up to the same standard.
Hot Milk sent me a set of “Lost in the Moment” pajamas to test out. I thought I’d be brave and post a picture of myself in these gorgeous PJs, but I’m afraid I’ve chickened out. This has nothing to do with the fit of the PJs, even though I’m nearly 9 months pregnant, the size medium they sent fit me just fine. It’s just that Hot Milk promises to “reveal the sexy woman inside the loving mother”, and they don’t let down on that promise! The camisole top has a flattering cut that definitely plays up the voluptuousness of a pregnant woman’s body, and the boobiliciousness was just not something I’m ready to put up on the interwebs. But, hey- just look at the pretty model wearing the same thing!
I really loved the PJ pants that came with this set. Seriously, the cotton is so fine and soft that it feels silky to the touch, and they’re super comfy to sleep in. At first, the drawstrings that adjust the length of the legs annoyed me, as they kept coming untied, but I soon figured out that a double knot will keep them nice and secure- even when you’re tossing and turning your way through a night in the third trimester. The camisole also doubles as a pretty nursing top, each side unhooks at the strap for easy and discreet breastfeeding. I haven’t used this function yet, but I’m sure I’ll appreciate it in a few weeks time!
These PJs are definitely destined for my hospital bag! I can’t wait to wear them after meeting my new baby for the first time. But I also have my eye on some more night wear from Hot Milk- I especially love “Calm Rebellion”, pretty, no?
