Dressing Up and Breastfeeding


Did you think that once your baby arrived you’d be back to wearing your regular clothing again? That’s what I thought - boy was I wrong. I never thought about how I’d get my boob out of my normal clothing for breastfeeding. Finding everyday clothing that works for breastfeeding is the easy part. I struggle with finding dresser outfits for functions much more of a challenge. Most dresses are very impractical and unwearable for breastfeeding.

Although, dressing up for a function may seem impossible because you’re nursing, you don’t have to ditch looking good entirely. You just need to become a more strategic shopper. There are several types of dresses and shirts that you can wear that are very practical for breastfeeding. The best part is that they do not need to be from maternity clothing stores.

Here are some pieces from my very own closest that I have worn to baptisms, engagement parties, weddings, showers etc...


A wrap dress is perfect for breastfeeding. The crisscross front makes pulling out a breast super easy.



The good ol’ button-up shirt paired with an elegant skirt. The thing I love about a button-up shirt is that they can easily be dressed up or down. A dress with buttons on the front would work too.



I love the zip-front dress look. Not only is it trendy, it offers easy access to the breast.



Wrap dresses, button-up dresses or shirts, and zip-front dresses are all very piratical for nursing moms. Just give yourself plenty of time to find an outfit since our options are pretty limited.


So mamas, what do you wear when breastfeeding? Any other tips to share?
