"Lovely top, easy to feed in, pretty too."
I was really excited to see my new top arrive, as I do feel quite uneasy feeding my new baby in public and even more so in front of my extended family, so to have a top that means I can feed without showing off my breasts was very important to how successful breastfeeding was for me.
Upon opening the bag the first thing I saw the lovely lilac colour, it was so feminine and pretty, just what I wanted! I tried it on right away, and it was a perfect fit, its a size small, I am an size 10-12. I love the detail on the sleeves which match the double layer for the top where you lift for feeding. Also around the neckline there is an adjustable pull cord which is fab for changing the fit of the top around the bust area, and as my breasts change size by the hour, really is a great addition to the top. The top has a double layer all around unlike most feeding tops which only have a feeding area at the front which means my back and tummy are not exposed at all.
So for the first use I fed in front of my family which includes my 3 boys aged 13, 9 & 6 years and it was easy to gain access to my bra and breasts, and to latch baby on, my boys came to give the baby a cuddle and didn't even notice I was feeding! Fantastic.
So I decided it was time to venture out to town, my top looked smart, feminine and was so soft to wear and I looked great!! I was happy and confident :) I managed to feed my baby in town without a feeding cover and it was easy discrete and I am totally pleased with the top. I would recommend to every breastfeeding mum. The top is soft for you and baby, easy to wash and wear, smart and practical and great value for money. The only thing I noticed after wearing it a few times is that a few stitches have come loose on the hem, I think the machine has missed a few hooks or something, but I am sure that is a one off.

"super soft!!!!"
The first thing i noticed when i received the Maia feeding top was the softness of the product and had to try it on straightaway. I selected a medium size, as with breastfeeding size goes up and down and this top was flattering, not too tight and i loved the fact that it was stretchy too.
Furthermore the colour of my top is black so it goes well with a skirt,trousers, jeans etc. Also the little ties at the top allows you to control the neckline which in my case i hate showing cleavage and a great bonus feature.
Basically you lift the top layer to find the opening which is great and its not fiddly or fussy, no buttons and zips to worry about and get feeding baby straightaway.
At 29.99 the top is a bit expensive, it would be great if you got savings of buying two. However, the fact that the delivery on bellamama is free in uk , makes it a little more inclined to buy.
I would definitely buy another one in a different colour as the fit was very good, and no worries about returning it. I love the top as it is fashionable and convenient , and would definitely not irritate baby skin and feeding time. thanks
