What's New With Boba?



Do you wear your baby? The benefits of “baby wearing”are more than you think. Not only is it convenient, but carried babies tend to be happier, because they are in tune with their mothers’ breathing and heartbeat patterns. This promotes physical development, such as balance control, while soothing the baby.

We also love to hug and kiss our sweet babies. Wearing your baby in the upright correct position will allow you to kiss your baby all you want! Wearing your baby allows you to show your affection while walking around the block, grocery shopping or even cooking dinner. If you have other children with small toys that are choking hazards, a sling is a safe place for baby to be. And some slings are made with breastfeeding in mind.

For the first time, Boba now has a carrier that fits your newborn as little as 7 pounds. The Boba 3G also allows you to carry your older child who has back and neck strength, up to 45 pounds.

Join us in celebrating this innovative and versatile new offering from the Boba family by purchasing your new Boba 3G at 20% off. Sale starts Friday, November 25th, and ends on Sunday, November 27th. See you this weekend!

Medela Certified Bra Fitter

It's 9:20 am and I'm sitting in the first floor Women's Pavillion at Dekalb Medical in Decatur, Georgia. It's going to be a morning filled with Medela Intimate Apparel and training. Once done, Bellyhaven will have their bra fitters, helping fit women, certified under both certifying agencies, Bravado and Medela. About a year ago, I earned my certification under Bravado.

Bellyhaven welcomes both appointments and walk-ins to provide you a custom nursing bra-fitting experience. Our goal is to make you feel comfortable and confident when trying on and choosing the nursing bra(s) that are right for you. We have nursing bras (and maternity bras) ranging in design, brand, comfort and color. Call for an appointment today at 770-384-0009.
