In the past, the options open to expectant mums as far as maternity clothing is concerned were limited. Large, shapeless items of clothing designed for comfort more than a flattering shape were par for the course and looking your best whilst pregnant was something that was hard to do.

Thankfully, things are different nowadays, and trendy maternity clothes are readily available in the online and offline world with a number of established designer brands available such as Olian, egg and rock star moms.

When looking for trendy maternity clothing, you do not need to sacrifice comfort for the purpose of style. There are a number of companies offering maternity clothing that is made from natural organic fibres, such as bamboo or organic cotton.

One of these companies is Bamboo Baby, a UK based company that offers organic maternity clothing and baby clothing to both retail buyers and for wholesale purchase. They have a full range of trendy maternity clothes including BigTummyMummy bamboo maternity jeans, maternity tops and dresses.

If you are looking for a flattering look that also gives you the support and practicality that you need as an expectant or nursing mother, then this is the place to check out. You can also be sure that you are having a positive effect on the environment, as all products sold are made from organic bamboo and organic cotton fibres.

The benefits of using bamboo fibres in clothing are many, but two of the main features where maternity and nursing mother clothing is concerned are:

Softness

Bamboo fibres processed in to clothing have a silky soft feel that is often described as 'cashmere like'. This means that they offer superior comfort over other types of maternity clothing.

Breathability

Bamboo fabric is also very breathable, and therefore wicks away moisture from the skin. This is ideal when going through those 'hot and bothered' stages of later pregnancy!
