I don't know about you mommas, but I've been living in leggings and yoga pants! It's so easy to throw them on and go to take Frankie to school, or run errands. With limited time between feedings, I don't have time to fuss around with outfit changes, and cute outfits.
Here are some of my go-to outfits/pieces that can be thrown on in a hurry. Add some accessories to spice it up if you're going out, or simply leave them as is. Trust me, you'll be glad that you read this list.
Tank Tops
Seriously, I have different colors. Red, Pink, Black white... These are awesome they don't even have to be "nursing" tanks. You can just go to Target or Walmart and purchase an everyday tank top that will be way cheaper than buying a "nursing" tank or cami. Really, adding the word "nursing" or "maternity" to anything literally triples the price. I purchased my black nursing cami from Walmart and it spent $13.00 for it. I don't know about you, but $13.00 for a tank top is rather excessive. Yes its convenient cause you just unclasp the button and HELLO, instant boob access. However, I'd rather not spend that much for a tank top.
Cardigans
Okay, use this one at your own discretion It's been very hot in Los Angeles these last couple of days. (It's like the east coast stole our winter) Therefore, I haven't been really using these. however, on those two days of winter that we did get, I used a cardigan on top of my tank top. I also have a few of these in different colors. I throw this on and my jeans and boots and off we go. Cardigans are very lightweight so if you're still having those pesky hot flashes like I am, they're not going to make you extra hot. Plus, if you happen to be in public you could just button it down and pull your tank up and nurse on . Or you can wear it open like I do. So versatile and hey, cardigans never, ever go out of style.
Kimonos
My favorite! I love me a good Kimono. I absolutely love this style. So BOHO chic. I wear one almost everyday. Kimonos are great because you can dress them up or dress them down. I have 3 and like I mentioned earlier, you can wear them with a tank, throw that puppy on and you're good to go. You could wear it with jeans or leggings. I wore mine yesterday with shorts. Plus...okay, here's my little secret why I love them too, they're a little baggy, so If you haven't lost all your baby weight, or are a little self conscious about your post baby body, they can conceal and are very forgiving. I am always in the market for a good kimono. I've purchased mine at a "Forever 21" like stores. I'm sure you could find some online or at any clothing store.
Button Down Shirts
These are great because all you have to do is button down your blouse and you can nurse baby. These are great for being in public. Also, I go with lightweight/cotton fabric because they don't make me hot. And, if I'm hot, I'm uncomfortable, and if I'm uncomfortable, baby will be uncomfortable. I've noticed that If I'm hot, or not comfortable, Jacob doesn't nurse peacefully. SIDENOTE: I've been so hot lately. I think its my hormones still trying to get back to it's pre pregnancy state. So I've been very emotional and hormonal and hot flashes are continuing to happen. Welcome to motherhood!
Nursing Bras
unfortunately, if you're nursing, you have to buy nursing bras. I haven't been comfortable in my regular bras. But, luckily, I have found inexpensive bras at Target and Walmart. Now, they aren't as fancy and glamorous as the "Motherhood" or "Pea in a Pod" bras, but honestly, I'm not going to spend $30.00 on a nursing bra. Walmart has cute bras that will do what they need to do.
There you have it, my favorite nursing outfit choices. How do you accessorize your nursing wear? What are your favorite go to outfits?
