This year marks 5 years of Mome.  Over the past few years, we’ve been quietly working on something special. What began in 2023 as an early vision gradually became something more, something that carries this journey, and something that feels like you. As we celebrate this milestone, we wanted to share a little of the story behind it. Where It All Started I wanted to create something that reflected the little things I’ve always loved: bows, roses, and butterflies. Soft, feminine details that carry quiet meaning: gentleness, growth, and beauty in every stage. As the idea came together, I realized something special. These weren’t just things I loved; they were things our Mome moms loved too. And slowly, it became more than just a design.  We called it Bowtanical Rose Garden. Turning an Idea Into Something Real I explored and researched different artists, looking for someone who could bring this vision to life in a way that felt true to what I had in mind. I was drawn to a grandmillennial-inspired style, feminine, timeless, and full of delicate detail. That’s when I found Claire Brennan (@prettyfestivedesign) from England. Her work is known for its delicate, hand-painted patterns, filled with soft florals, bows, and vintage-inspired details that feel both classic and quietly expressive. She captured these elements with such care and artistry, bringing a softness and charm to the print that felt exactly like what we had envisioned, and even more. The Process Behind the Print While the design felt right, translating it onto fabric was a journey of its own. We tested different materials, worked with multiple partners, and explored various color versions again and again. Sometimes the tones didn’t feel right. Sometimes the details didn’t come through the way we envisioned. So we kept refining. Because we believed this piece deserved the time and care to be done right.   Made Alongside You Throughout the process, we shared sneak peeks and updates with our Facebook Community, Friends of Mome. Your feedback shaped this piece in more ways than you know. You told us what you loved, what felt right, and what you wanted to see. And we listened. With every message, we refined the design further. Somewhere along the way, this stopped being just something we were creating. It became something we were building together. Finding the Right Fit Beyond the print, we explored different silhouettes, testing styles, refining fits, and taking time to understand what truly felt like Mome. There were many versions that were close, but not quite right. Until last year, when everything finally started to come together. The print, the fabric, and the silhouette, each detail slowly finding its place. A Meaningful Milestone As we celebrate five years of Mome, this piece feels especially meaningful to us. Not just because of what it is, but because of how it came to be. A story of patience, intention, and the connection we’ve built with you along the way. That’s why, to us, this will always be: Your dress. The Mome moms’ dress. And we’re so excited to share more of it with you very soon. With love, always, NinaMome

When you become a new mom, finding clothing that is both stylish and breastfeeding-friendly becomes a priority. Mome nursing dresses offer the perfect blend of postpartum fashion, comfort, and functionality, making them the top choice for moms looking for functional nursing clothes. Many moms face the challenge of wanting to feel put-together, confident, and beautiful after giving birth, but most nursing clothes either look too clinical or too casual. Through the feedback we've received via email, social media, and our website, it’s clear that Mome stands out as the go-to brand for nursing moms. Here’s why, from our customers' point of view: 1. Mome Felt Thoughtfully Designed for Nursing Moms Unlike other brands that simply add a zipper to a regular dress, our customers found that Mome dresses are specifically designed with postpartum bodies and breastfeeding moms in mind. The waistlines are forgiving but flattering, the fabric feels luxurious, and the hidden nursing access is both practical and discreet. Plus, the dresses feature pockets and an adjustable fit—two key details that make a difference in providing convenience and comfort for moms on the go. Whether you need functional breastfeeding clothing or postpartum dresses that let you feel stylish again, Mome has it all. 2. Timeless Prints That Aren’t Too Simple or Childish Beautiful, timeless prints that didn’t feel childish or too simple? Yes. Our customers especially love pieces that match their style and can be worn even after breastfeeding or passed down to their little ones. Two styles that have stood out are the Blue Toile Butterfly print, which has a soft, feminine feel with delicate butterflies, elegance, and a timeless design, and the classic Vintage Blue Toile print of the Versa Dress, which evokes a classic, French-inspired motherhood story. These timeless nursing dresses show that Mome truly understands what stylish, functional clothing moms need. From the feedback we've received, it’s clear that these thoughtful details matter to moms who want both beauty and practicality in their nursing clothes. 3. Other Nursing Brands Considered While researching nursing clothing, many of our customers also looked into other options: Seraphine — Chic styles, but many dresses felt too formal or didn’t offer full nursing access. Boob Design — Loved the function, but the style leaned more basic and less elegant. Hatch — Beautiful, but not specifically designed for breastfeeding moms. Each of these brands had something to offer, but Mome was the one that customers found truly brought everything together: style, comfort, function, and emotional connection. 4. Wearing Mome Helped Moms Feel Like Themselves Again Many of our customers have shared how wearing a Mome dress—especially for moments like family photoshoots while nursing—helped them feel beautiful, comfortable, and truly themselves. The discreet nursing access allowed them to feed their babies easily without missing out on any precious moments. Mome’s nursing dresses are designed to keep moms feeling confident and looking amazing during every part of their motherhood journey. 5. The Mome Brand Story Resonated with Moms Mome was created by a mom who couldn’t find nursing clothes that felt beautiful enough for her. Hearing stories from our customers about how Mome helped them feel seen and celebrated proves that our mission resonates with so many other moms. It’s more than just a clothing brand; it’s a solution made from the heart of real motherhood. Final Thoughts: At Mome, we believe in creating nursing clothes that celebrate and support every part of motherhood.

When a woman becomes a new mom, her world shifts in ways most people never see.  Behind the adorable baby photos and well-wishes, there are sleepless nights, physical healing, emotional waves, and the constant learning curve of caring for someone new — all while trying to remember who she is now. At Mome, we believe that every new mom deserves to feel supported, seen, and celebrated — not just in passing words, but in meaningful, tangible ways. That’s why we’re introducing something special: the Mome Shower.   What is a Mome Shower? It’s a new kind of celebration — one made just for her. A Mome Shower can be as simple as a heartfelt meal with a friend, a small gathering hosted by a husband or close girlfriends, or even a quiet moment where she opens a thoughtful gift that reminds her she’s not alone. It’s about showing up in ways that say: “We see you. You matter.” Whether it’s a nourishing meal, or a dress that makes her feel like herself again — every gesture counts.   Why Now? Because the postpartum period is one of the most intense transitions a woman will ever go through. And while the world showers the baby with love (as it should!), moms often find themselves overlooked. The Mome Shower changes that.   What Do You Give at a Mome Shower? Thoughtful Gifts for the mom herself: A soft, beautiful Mome dress that fits her changing body and lifestyle A nourishing, home-cooked meal Time — your presence, your listening ear, your genuine question: “How are you really doing? How can I make things easier?” It’s not about extravagance. It’s about thoughtfulness. Comfort. Recognition. Picture her slipping into a Mome dress — one designed for both function and beauty, with hidden zippers for nursing, a flattering fit, and feminine details that make her feel confident again. It’s not just a dress — it’s a reminder that she matters, too.   Let’s Start a New Tradition One that says: She deserves to feel appreciated She deserves to feel like herself again She deserves to be celebrated This is more than a campaign. It’s a movement — one rooted in empathy, love, and real support. And we’re inviting you to help us spread it. Because in this season where she gives so much, she deserves to receive something, too. Mome is proud to be leading this movement — creating dresses that make moms feel like themselves again, and encouraging loved ones to shower her with care. 💛 Let’s celebrate motherhood differently. Let’s celebrate her.  

What does your breastfeeding journey really look like? Maybe it’s the very first latch that mix of nerves, love, and wonder. Or maybe it’s a moment you didn’t even know would matter until later when your baby looks up at you, and everything just feels right. Every mother’s experience is unique. Some journeys begin with ease, while others take time, patience, and persistence. And no matter how it looks, every moment is a reflection of deep love and strength. At Mome, we believe that every breastfeeding journey deserves to be seen and celebrated. That’s why we started the “Breastfeeding Photos” Campaign to celebrate every step of this beautiful, sometimes challenging journey. We want to honor every milestone, big or small, and highlight real moms like you. Join the Celebration We’re inviting you to celebrate your journey with us. Whether it’s a milestone moment, a candid snapshot, or a photo that simply makes you feel proud , we want to see it. And we’ve designed Mome dresses to support you every step of the way. With hidden nursing zippers, soft, breathable fabrics, and thoughtful silhouettes, our dresses make feeding easier, especially during those special moments you want to capture. No need to undress or cover up ... just unzip, nurse, and stay in the moment. Whether you’re doing a professional breastfeeding photoshoot or snapping a quick picture at home, a Mome dress helps you feel confident, comfortable, and beautiful ... because you are. Capturing the Magic Through Photography To bring this campaign to life, we’ve collaborated with amazing photographers who share our vision of capturing the raw, emotional beauty of breastfeeding.

Welcoming a new baby is a transformative time, and thoughtful gifts can make a world of difference for a new mom. Whether you're a husband, a new mom, in-law, or close friend, here are 3 meaningful gift ideas to show how much you care.

Whether you’ve seen our ads or heard about us from a friend, we know it’s important to be sure before you invest in something new. Let’s dive into why Mome dresses could be exactly what you’ve been looking for!

Cotton linen blend fabric is featured in many of Mome’s best-selling products. This beautifully textured material is a favorite among our customers, and for good reason. While cotton linen slub fabric requires a bit more care, the benefits far outweigh the effort. Its softness, breathability, and natural charm make it a staple in any wardrobe, especially for new moms and their little ones. Our team has extensively tested this fabric, and with proper care, it will continue to offer comfort and style for years to come. To ensure your cotton-linen slub garments remain in excellent condition, please follow the care instructions outlined in this blog.

Traveling with kids and babies can be challenging, but with the right products, it becomes much more manageable.

The mom guilt is strong, but we’re here to remind you that self-care isn’t selfish. With the responsibility of caring for a newborn 24/7, it seems impossible to do it all alone. This is why we highly recommend asking for help and using self-care products that help moms with their daily needs. Like wearing Mome dresses and using an EasyJug water bottle.  

We want to spotlight a topic of normalizing biological norms for infant sleep and breastfeeding: recommendation that encourages mothers to sleep in proximity to their infants, supported by scientific evidence, which advocates for safe bedsharing and room sharing.

Investing in beautiful and premium clothing for yourself is not just a luxury; it's an investment in your happiness and well-being. It is an essential act of self-care that benefits both you and your little ones.

As we welcome World Breastfeeding Month, we wanted to share recent updated information from The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). The AAP extended its recommendations to support nursing until two years or beyond, as mutually desired by the mother and child. 

“The moment a child is born, so too is a mother.”   Yet, the birth of the mother herself is something we rarely prepare for. So much so that the early stages of motherhood take new moms by surprise. In this blog post, Thérèse shares how she handles the changes brought about by motherhood and how she keeps her sense of self intact despite it all. 

We're not only providing practical solutions for moms, but also creating a community of support and encouragement. We want to celebrate the beauty and strength of motherhood, and remind moms everywhere that they are not alone in this journey.

Becoming a new mom is an incredible experience, but it can also be challenging. Between sleepless nights, feedings, and diaper changes, it's easy to lose sight of yourself and your identity. But it's important to remember that taking care of yourself is just as important as taking care of your little one. Here are some tips to help new moms feel like herself again: Prioritize self-care:   Taking care of a baby can be overwhelming, but it's important to take care of yourself too. Make time for activities that make you feel good, whether it's a yoga class, a hot bath, or a movie night. Taking care of your physical and mental health will help you feel like yourself again. Connect with others:   Being a new mom can be isolating, but it doesn't have to be. Reach out to other new moms in your community or join a support group to connect with others who are going through the same experience. Surrounding yourself with a support system can help you feel less alone and more like yourself. Take time for hobbies:  Just because you're a mom doesn't mean you have to give up your hobbies and interests. Make time for activities that bring you joy, whether it's painting, reading, or cooking. Pursuing your passions will help you feel like yourself again and remind you of your individuality. Be kind to yourself:  Adjusting to motherhood can be difficult, so be kind to yourself as you navigate this new experience. Celebrate small wins, forgive yourself for mistakes, and practice self-compassion. Remember that it's okay to ask for help and take breaks when you need them. Dress up:   It's easy to get stuck in a rut of sweatpants and messy buns as a new mom, but dressing up can do wonders for your self-esteem. Invest in some comfortable yet stylish clothes that make you feel good, whether it's a cozy, flowy dress in your favorite print or a practical nursing dress with discreet zippers. Finding clothes that make you feel confident and put-together can help you tackle even the toughest days with more ease. It's amazing how a cute outfit can boost your mood and make you feel like you can tackle anything that comes your way.    Dressing up can also benefit your baby. When you feel good about yourself, you're more likely to be present and engaged well with your little one. Plus, research has shown that babies can pick up on their mother's emotional state - so when you're feeling happy and confident, your baby is more likely to feel that way too. Becoming a new mom is a transformative experience, but it doesn't have to mean sacrificing your identity. By prioritizing self-care, connecting with others, pursuing hobbies, being kind to yourself, and dressing up, you can feel like yourself again and enjoy all the joys of motherhood.
