Breastfeeding Fashion
- June 3, 2015

Hello everyone. Back with our Wednesday Mom Fashion post and this week we’re thrilled to announce a very special giveaway with a wonderful sponsor so keep reading and watching!
If you are a mom who has been struggling to nurse in fussy button-down shirts or sundresses while out and about, this video is for you! I’m so excited to share with you mamas some amazing pieces by Milk Nursingwear today. They are super comfortable, stylish, and make breastfeeding in public an absolute breeze.
Breastfeeding in public posed serious fashion challenges for me. I relied on button town tops and camisoles, but these often left me feeling hot because of the two layers. When out at a restaurant, I would either button down my shirt with the camisole underneath — while sweating — ha ha — or hoist up my top, trying to cover my entire torso with a burp cloth. When I needed to see my baby’s mouth to make sure he was latching on correctly, I had to peep under the burp cloth, trying not to upset the fragile tent I was operating under. Not easy.
Personally, I felt strongly about breastfeeding in public since this allowed me to get my baby outdoors, see other people, and enjoy the world with my newborn. I was not comfortable showing too much, although I know other moms feel differently — and that’s fine too.
Pin to share with friends!
Milk Nursingwear’s designs solve a lot of the issues I faced. What makes these nursing clothes so unique? Rather than having to lift your shirt to uncover your breasts, inevitably exposing your post-pregnancy belly, these tops and dresses allow you to nurse discreetly with well-placed openings. Not only are they well-placed, they are also well-sized. You’ll still be so covered up, it will look like your child is just sleeping in your arms. Also ideal for moms traveling with baby in carriers and slings as there is minimal re-positioning necessary.
Milk Nursingwear tops and dresses come in many vibrant colors and varying styles. The tops I’m modeling today have lift up nursing access, pull down nursing access, or move aside nursing access. Again, all of these styles are easy to breastfeed in, allowing you access to your baby while leaving minimal skin exposed. No need to fuss with a cover-up or burp cloth anymore when breastfeeding! Moreover, I love how light and comfortable the fabric is. These tops are not too tight and are perfect for wearing with jeans, leggings, or a skirt.
And lastly, the elegant little black dress! Who thought it was possible to achieve hassle-free nursing when out dining with your hubby or girlfriends? Perfect for every special occasion – from parties to weddings!

Jackie
I need some decent clothes that doesn’t include a tank top and shawl! haha
Erin B.
I could totally use some nice nursing clothes for after baby #2 arrives! All the clothes I currently have are the ones I wore for the 2 1/2 + years that I nursed by daughter. Wardrobe could use some freshening up !
latanya t
They have beautiful clothing
Jessica Marie Hendrick
These look amazing! I have given up trying to nurse my son anywhere public and/or anywhere that people other than my family are because I can’t be modest enough or my son gets understandably upset at so much fabric covering his face. And it can be frustrating to not be able to wear “nice” things because it isn’t nursing-friendly. That being said, this looks like a wonderful alternative to make those things possible!
Kaitlin Ryan
Would love some of these items!
eliza jane curtis
Oh man, I need these! Been looking everywhere for more nursing-friendly clothes… I was just ogling some Milk stuff yesterday, and wishing I could get some! Will be saving up for a few of these tops. (Unless I win them, of course!)
Cassandra Eastman
I love love love that these shirts are modest, yet easy to access. I have the hardest time finding clothes to breastfeed my 3 month old in when we go places that are comfortable and I don’t have to pull up and expose my stomach!
Rachel
This would be great to win! I needed new clothes even before I got pregnant and since I plan to nurse long-term (and multiple children) I definitely need a nursing-friendly wardrobe!

I could use some stylish nursing friendly clothing! Right now I get $2 tanks from Walmart and baggy t shirts. It’s way too hot here in TX for that, but it’s all I can afford

sarah goodman
this is perfect! Im two weeks PP and have had three meltdowns about what to wear!
Dawne
I haven’t tried Milk yet, but I’m pretty discouraged with many of the nursing tops I have purchased. Usually the fabric is too delicate (seatbelt caused massive piling just from driving), or the “discreet” underlayer bunches unattractively, OR, they only look good if you have huge tatas and/or a slim torso (really? I just had a baby, I’m not a 28 waist)
Liberty Thompson
I am a nursing mom and I struggle daily to decide what to wear so that I can nurse in public. I will definitely will check out their products!
