A woman’s sense of beauty gets hit the hardest during the first few weeks following childbirth. Finding clothes that fit is a big problem; and that represents just the tip of the iceberg. They are also beset by the seeming impossibility of ever finding clothes that are comfortable and nursing friendly. In this quick article we’ll take a look at some nursing friendly fashion ideas to help postpartum moms deal with their wardrobe woes.
First, your nursing bras should fit well. Use only one that’s the right size for you and make sure that your bra’s bands snugly fit as these are the parts of the bra that carry the most weight of the breasts. Straps are also part of the breast support equation and need to be adjusted properly.
With size out of the way, it’s equally important that your nursing bra is of good quality. Go with stretchable materials with a soft feel. Padded bras are also worth considering for everyday use as they work well to make enlarged nipples and nursing pads less visible. For women with big cups underwire bras should do the trick.
Finally, make both nursing clothing and regular clothes work for you. A tee with nursing cami and wrap or button-down tops or dresses are good examples of regular clothing that can be adapted for breastfeeding. As for real nursing clothes, there are a number of brands worth checking out online. While you’re at it, pay attention to reviews and feedback so you’ll have an idea about product quality.
