Hooray! It's the unofficial start of summer! It's also the time for one of my biggest worries with breastfeeding. What the heck was I going to wear this summer?
Usually in the summer I live in dresses. There is nothing cooler or more simple than tossing on a sundress. Well unless your nursing. Because who wants to sit with a dress up over their head while they are feeding a baby? Not me!
I have been doing my research and have come across a couple things I would like to share that might help out a fellow nursing mama.
There are really cute tanks with ties instead of straps this season like this one from the Gap:
The Gap also has this cute sundress with ties for straps:
I have yet to find a strapless nursing bra but I have tried this bandeau top from the junior section at Target {you have to be resourceful in desperate times!} and it seems to work pretty well so far. But if you're more blessed than I am, it might not be the best solution for you. And, hey, you can't beat 5 bucks!
For this bra, I have just been flipping one side down and it's been fine.
Another trick I have found that works is that my nursing pads fit right into the triangles of my halter tops and halter dresses. Not too big of a pain when nursing but make sure you don't double knot the tie or you could have logistical issues like I did last weekend. Not a mistake I will make again!
So what else can we add to the list? Veteran summer nursing mamas help us out! What tips do you have for us newbies?
