You may be a new mum, but that doesn’t mean you have to kiss your style sense goodbye. Nursing mums can do themselves a fashion favour by investing in a few wardrobe essentials that not only provide their babies with quick, hassle-free access to their breasts, but that also help them feel their best and look fashionably trendy at the same time.
These 4 fashion essentials from Peachymama combine the perfect blend of fashion and function, beginning with:
1. The Must Have Tank Top
The staple tank top has become so with nursing mums for several reasons: - They’re the type of garment that can be worn regardless of the time or place you’ll be wearing them (they can even work as pajamas!) - Easily layered, they make it simple for mums to stay comfortable no matter what the weather is like and enable mums to change their look effortlessly - Designed specifically with breastfeeding in mind, Peachymama tank tops don’t have to be pulled down or up for feeding time!
2. The Basic Tee
Very similar to tank tops, the basic t-shirt can be just as easily paired with other clothing items and accessories. It’s a wonderfully versatile garment many of which are rather loose around the tummy area so you won’t feel that sense of self consciousness toward your healing post-baby tummy.
BONUS:
If your looking to change your selection of nursing wardrobe items a little, add a few button-down shirts. These shirts can be worn with other clothing pieces such as tees and tank tops, as well as simply worn by themselves and easily buttoned down at feeding time.
3. The Little Black Dress
We all know that every women must have that little black dress set aside for those special occasions or nights out on the town. Peachymama offers a wide assortment of cute, breastfeeding friendly little black dresses which will compliment your new mum curves. Combine your dress with a few cute accessories and your fabulous outfit will be ready for a great time whether baby’s coming along for the excitement or not.
4. The Nursing Slip
An absolute essential is the nursing slip as this special undergarment enables you to transform any regular dress style into one which is breastfeeding friendly. Simply wear the nursing slip under any of your dresses and you’ll be ready to nurse your baby with all the discretion you need any time, anywhere. That additional layer will also help keep you warmer during the cooler months of the year.
