Tips for Choosing Breastfeeding Tops

Breastfeeding tops are specially designed clothing. Nursing tops are ideal if you want to wear a long or fitted top.Designs vary – a fabric cross-over at the front is a classic breastfeeding top design, simply because it is so simple to use one-handed. Other attractive styles for nursing tops include tunic tops. Tunic tops are not usually an option for the breastfeeding Mum, but new styles have cleverly designed access for breastfeeding so you can make the most of the current tunic trend.

The most flattering breastfeeding tops are of course, cut to flatter the New Mum shape – bigger around the boob and not clingy around the tummy. Look for stretchy, comfortable material, if the fabric contains elastane, it will keep its shape well. You can pair the breastfeeding top with slim jeans and boots for stylish winter feeding. Breastfeeding tops with bold and interesting prints give you wardrobe variety, while simple and plain nursing tops, including classic black, will go with anything.

Remember that maternity accessories such as a long wide scarf can also help to screen yourself from neighbours as you latch baby on, giving you both privacy as you nurse your baby in public. Pashminas and scarves also add variety to your maternity wardrobe, particularly towards the end of your pregnancy. Of course, a number of different coloured scarves will also help you make the most of your wardrobe options too.

And or course, remember your underwear! Easy to wear nursing underwear is a must. Key things to remember are that you need to be able to unclip quickly without fiddly and difficult clasps and hooks. Of course, you must get something that fits properly. Try ordering some different styles of nursing underwear in a few different sizes. Try them on, jiggle around and only keep those that really fit and feel comfortable to wear.
