Undercover Mama
Busy moms on the go struggle with clothing options that make it possible to assure baby gets a full year of breast milk. Undercover Mama to the rescue – allowing moms to look good and maintain their modesty. Designed by a mom, this unique strapless nursing tank connects to any bra, allowing moms to maintain the support they require, enjoy modest coverage of their torso while nursing, and have the ability to wear all of their favorite clothes. The Undercover Mama also saves nursing mothers money (no need to buy an array of nursing shirts and tanks) and allows them to feel better about their bodies by both keeping them covered while also giving them the freedom to choose flattering clothing, rather than what works with nursing.

It’s Aparent’s Parenting Classes


Recommended by Jens List member avryaun@aol.com


“I just completed parenting classes at Its Aparent. The instructor was helpful, answered all my questions and taught me why my children behave the way they do. I can now figure out their behavior with ease and am much more confident in my parenting skills.  The kids listen better and our household is much more peaceful. I highly recommend that every parent take this class to become a more confident parent and raise happier kids.”
