New TLB sponsor Momzelle based in Montreal, Canada, offers their Mother’s Day wishes for Leakies in honor of the creator of the company’s dear friend. Christine, the mom behind Momzelle, shares how she came to start her company as well as her favorite Mother’s Day gift she has received to date.
TLB: What should TLB readers know about Momzelle?
Christine: Momzelle’s mission is to help mothers feel good about breastfeeeding in public. It is a brand of nursing clothing, including nursing tops and nursing dresses, available at select independant maternity and baby stores, as well as online on www.momzelle.com. All of our tops are both stylish and functional, designed with a nursing mother’s needs in mind. They are easy to use, feel great, and most importantly, they allow mothers to nurse anywhere without worrying about what part of their body is showing. This freedom is very empowering.
TLB: How did Momzelle come to be?
Christine: Momzelle came to be about five years ago, after the birth of my daughter Cécile. I had created a nursing top for myself and my midwife raved about how good it was. She said I must bring the product to market, as all moms needed it. A few months later, with the help of my brother Vincent, I started Momzelle. The tops we designed were a hit right away, receiving amazing reviews from mothers and the media. Starting Momzelle was one of the best things I ever did and it is very gratifiying to know that our work makes a difference in mothers’ lives, allowing them to feel good while breastfeeding in public.
TLB: What was your favorite mother’s day present to receive?
Christine: My favorite mother’s day present to receive was a little heart shaped candle holder, made by my daughter. It is ugly, but made with so much love that I can’t help being moved when I look at it. I take it out on every special occasions, which pleases both of us.
TLB: What do you wish for all mothers this mother’s day?
Christine: A friend of mine died of a cancer a year ago and had two little children of a very young age. This mother’s day, I wish to all mothers to be healthy and able to see their children grow.

Thank you. I would prob go with the cross cross top

Sweet!! I would order the nursing tee or the v-neck tank. I am also loving the french ice cream tank! hehe So cute! And as I am nursing my little one right now I am definitely seeing the need for a top that covers a bit more! Hello, boob. hahaha
I love Momzelle tops! I’d probably order another short-sleeved cross-front shirt (I already have two!), or maybe the “I make milk” shirt!
I’d order either a Nursing Band or the “100% Breastmilk” onesie 🙂
I love the tops, also the I make milk shirt 🙂

I would love a nursing dress
I love the idea of make breastfeeding a priority and a convenience! Love it!
And a dress would be right up my alley!
It all looks amazing but, being 6’1″ tall I’m drawn to the XL items and dresses.
I would choose the extra long nursing tank top.
OHH. A nursing dress. I love dresses for the summer time. Much cooler!
i desperately need a nursing tank. it would be great to wear under my shirts.
I love the hummingbird t shirt, its beautiful!
I’d like to try the Nursing Band
I’d love to get the Onesee 100% breastmilk. So cute!
I have a 9 month old and have simply been living in tank tops, because I hate pulling my shirt up, and prefer the ease of pulling it down! It’s awesome to know that great options do exist! I live the hummingbird t!
I need more shirts. Though, I may splurge on a dress if I win!
I love the hummingbird top and the crisscross nursing tees!
I can’t decide between the nursing tank or the flaminco dress!!!
I would order a nursing band.
I can’t decide! Likely get a dress since I dont have one yet.
Oh goodness, very hard to choose. Possibly a nursing top? Never can have too many!
I really like the flower print nursing tee.
The tank top for sure, I love wearing tank tops while staying at home with my kids. A tank top for easy nursing would be spectacular!
I have actually wanted an “I Make Milk. What’s Your SuperPower?” shirt when I had my 1st child, now that I’ve had my second..it’s time! 🙂
I would love a nursing dress…really I’m a sucker for anything that allows me to nurse and not look frumpy!
I would order the crisscross tee. Thanks for the giveaway!
I would get the hummingbird tee
I would love any of the nursing tops!
I would love any of the gorgeous and very functional nursing tops…
So hard to choose! Any of the tops or tanks
Honestly I think I could go with anything! Its all really cute!
Being a new mother on a tight budget and having a “booby trap” with breast feeding in public because of the lack of nurse friendly clothes, I would be grateful for any nursing shirt that helps me beat my “booby trap”!
I would order a dress, I miss pretty dresses.
I’m always on the hunt for a comfortable, attractive nursing shirt. I prefer sleeveless because I get hot quickly. I like the sleeveless drape shirt. 🙂
I would probably get the I make milk Tee or a long sleeve dress.
I’d love the Nursing Criss Cross Tee
Awesome products. I’m not sure which to get
A nursing dress would be great!
Nursing V neck!
I love and live in (and need more) extra long nursing tanks.
I’d choose the Nursing Nightdress. It’d be nice to have for evening/night hours when I am pumping for my third surrogate baby. 😀
So many choices. Too much to choose!
I love the criss-cross nursing tanks
These look great!
I would order a nursing band
I could really use a nursing dress, but I love the drape-neck sleeveless top, too!
I love the New York City Print and also the nursing hoodies…perfect for those cool summer nights!
I love the “i eat at Mom’s” and can use many more tops that are nursing friendly so it is really hard to choose. I have several nursing tanks but none I feel comfortable wearing solo if leaving the house & many of my tops to go over them are too short, too tight (if pre-pg ones) or too huge if PG ones. The flower print nursing tee sounds great because it’s not as plain as most of the nursing friendly stuff Zi have now.
I would order the criss cross short-sleeve top! These tops look great!
belly band
