Life
As a new mom, the last thing you need is to buy clothes that make you feel less than stellar about your appearance. Of course, having a baby changes your body in many ways and the postpartum months are sometimes the most difficult. New moms often struggle to come to terms with the fact that their body just isn’t the same as it used to be. Finding a stylish nursing tops that allow you to nourish your baby easily is no easy task. But when you do spot that perfect breastfeeding shirt, you feel like you’ve found a diamond in the rough.
Two babies later, and I know the struggle of finding a well fitted, stylish breastfeeding shirt. I’d spend hours in the stores only to come out with no shirt and plenty of stress. There’s nothing worse than getting dressed for the day only to realize that your outfit is totally incompatible for breastfeeding. We’ve all been there, but embarrassing wardrobe fails and pieces that look like they came out of your mom’s closet don’t have to be your new norm. These nine breastfeeding friendly shirts are sure to make you feel your best while allowing you to simultaneously rock your new body and feed your new baby.
