Breastfeed in style...

Mums make themselves at home!

I was featured in an newspaper article last week discussing mums who have started a business from home. It was great to be involved and hopefully will inspire other mums to have a go at working from home!

The Courier-Mail article also featured the picture above taken with my son Ryan. He had a great time and I even got a chance to wear our new stylish wrap design, which is one of my favourites!

How to Breastfeed in Style

Breastfeeding no longer means sacrificing fashion just because you’re a nursing mum! With a celebrity baby boom and resurgence of breastfeeding, maternity designers have taken note and are now designing nursing wear just for breastfeeding. With a little planning and a few tips, you’ll be well on your way to breastfeeding in style.

Look at your needs

While pregnant plan ahead and look at your lifestyle to plan your nursing wear and breastfeeding clothes purchases before your baby is born. Are you sporty? Like to socialise? Returning to work? Then think about styles and colours to suit your lifestyle as you’ll be living in them for several months while breastfeeding.

Plan a nursing wear kit

Once you know your needs it’s a good idea to plan a nursing kit to get you through breastfeeding. Choose versatile colours that are easy to mix and match. As a basic guide you will need to include the following items to get you started:

2-3 good quality nursing bras
1 pair of PJs or nightie for night feeds
3 comfortable breastfeeding tops for everyday
1 dressy top or nursing dress for special outings

Quality Fabrics

Choose quality and easy-care fabrics that feel soft against the skin and will last frequent washing. The addition of spandex or lycra to a fabric will also help the garment adjust to your changing shape. Natural fibres are best for bras and sleepwear while soft jersey and cotton/spandex fabrics are great for tops and dresses.

Accessories for a unique look

Adding stylish accessories is a cheap and cheerful way to create a modern look. Funky necklaces, bangles and scarves will keep your look fresh and help create different outfits from your nursing wear basics. Don’t forget the must-have statement bag for all your baby needs!

Personal Grooming

Having a newborn baby means little time for high maintenance haircuts or skin care regimes. Ask your hairdresser for a stylish cut that is easy to care for and looks great with minimal fuss. Keep it simple and stick to the basics for effortless chic.

Breastfeed in style

Planning your breastfeeding wardrobe will help you to feel calm and confident when breastfeeding in public. Knowing you look good in fashionable clothing will do wonders for your self-esteem and leave you with one less thing to worry about at this exciting and hectic time in your life.
