Nursing
in Style!
by Anne Cavicchi
Many
women are uncomfortable nursing in public. But today's nursing
fashions can help you nurse with confidence, comfort, and style
-- anytime, anywhere!
The
basics
A
good breastfeeding
nightgown or pajamas will help you with those first days in
the hospital or at home. Learning to breastfeed can be a challenge
in itself; you don't want to be struggling with your clothing
too! You will also be glad for the convenience for those night
feedings and those days when you just don't get dressed (and yes,
there will be some of those!)
Chances
are you probably needed several different bra sizes throughout
your pregnancy. And often even your best guess at your post-partum
bra size was not quite right. No matter which type of bra you
choose, a good fit is important.
Your bra needs to provide adequate support while providing easy
access to your breasts for feeding. Have fun with your nursing
bras -- there are so many options available!
Out
and About
Every
nursing mother should own at least two tops (or 1 top and 1 dress)
to give her the ease of nursing access and overall comfort. A
nursing tank top, even in cold months, is also a good basic as
it can be worn under a sweater or other non-nursing garment. If
you plan on nursing for a long period of time, treat yourself
to a few more tops as time goes by (after all, you are saving
a fortune by not buying baby formula!). Pair your top with your
favorite jeans, dress slacks or skirt and you are all set! Most
people won't even know that you are wearing nursing clothing!
Some of the more popular access options include:
- Crop
Over Top - Dual Slits: The crop overtop lifts to gain breastfeeding
access to two vertical slits on lower panel.
- Dual
Side Panels - Central Slits: Side panels open to gain breastfeeding
access to one or two slits on the lower panel.
- Vest
Front - Dual Split Or Extended Arm Holes: Vest front lifts or
opens to access breastfeeding opening (dual slits or extended
armholes)
- Central
Pleat Dual Slits: Central pleat parts to gain breastfeeding
access to slits on lower layer.
One
option is not necessarily better than the other; it's just a matter
of personal preference. Enjoy your baby and the breastfeeding
experience.
