Here are a few of my favorites for boys and girls -

Post Baby Swimsuit

Summer is approaching, and I've been thinking about what kind of swimsuit I'd be comfortable wearing, other than the sport suit I wear to the pool for workouts. I wouldn't want to wear that to beach anyway, and I'm definitely not ready to put on one of my bikinis. Then, as fate would have it, a Boden catalog arrived this week with this suit -

I love the v-neck, the ruching, and the tummy control panel. It looks nice while doing all the things I need it to - flatten my stomach and create the illusion of a narrower waist. Perfect, a new (new-mom friendly) swimsuit found!
