I've got a couple of weddings coming up and as Jack is still feeding 2 hourly I'm trying to find a dress that I can easily and discreetly nurse him in.
Can anyone point me in the direction of either proper feeding dresses or regular ones that will do the job? TIA! ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

I just wear things that I can slip one shoulder out of easily enough. Things with spaghetti straps or a deep v neck.
I haven't had too much trouble so far. -------------

I do the same as MamaT. They are not always the most discrete, as it tends to be pulling the top down rather than a shirt up, but you can take a muslin wrap or something to cover the exposed top of the boob if you feel uncomfortable.
ETA. I recently got a couple of nice summery dresses from pagani that I've been nursing in when out and about. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Don't spend too much coz you'll change shape so much in the next few months. I'd be inclined to go for a top and skirt. -------------  |

I would do top and skirt too or you could always get a shawl if you want to be discrete but your dress makes it non discrete iygwim! GL! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I just bought a gorgeous tunic from breastmates http://www.breastmates.co.nz/shop-management/products/b/breastfeeding-tie-back-tunic.aspx?cat=8925 - (this one) and I love it! Easy to BF in, and its flattering, and so easy to feed from. Highly recommend it! -------------

Thanks guys!
Funnily enough, that tunic was the one thing I'd found that I thought might be a go. Glad to hear you're loving it Emmi  ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

I got this dress for DS's baptism and it's awesome...I love it. Doesn't cling in the wrong places and the breastfeeding holes are completely disguised. Could even be worn with tights underneath if you wanted. No one knew it was a breastfeeding dress...it was quite the 'party trick'!
http://mummymatters.co.nz/AM_banded_tunic.htm They have a couple of other dresses available too but I found this one the best for the hot weather. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I've found that Max have a few this season that button down the front that have worked for me. They also had a few in a wrap style that I tried on. The one I ended up getting was a light fabric - I either wear it over a little slip thing, that is stretchy enough to pull down over my nursing bra, or wear a feeding singlet and leggings underneath.
Hope that helps! |
