Perhaps the biggest trend in recent years has been the rise of breastfeeding dresses (or nursing dresses). There have always been breastfeeding nightshirts or breastfeeding pyjamas, but nursingwear or breastfeeding dresses is relatively new as its own fashion style. While shops selling breastfeeding or nursing clothes in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane or Perth are not easy to find, there are plenty of online stores for nursing clothes or breastfeeding dresses such as this online site. The advantage of having breastfeeding clothing (or nursing clothing or nursingwear) that is made specifically for breastfeeding or nursing can increase the amount of time you spend breastfeeding/nursing. And, we all know the longer you breastfeed or nurse your baby, the better for their health outcomes. Dresses have taken over skirts as a key fashion staple these days, so a breastfeeding dress is a must for any stylish maternity or breastfeeding wardrobe.

A breastfeeding dress should have hidden openings in the dress to allow discreet breastfeeding. Otherwise, the dress will look like a normal dress. Mothers en Vogue nursingwear has a great range of breastfeeding dresses that are on-trend but don’t look like a breastfeeding dress. Perhaps you are nursing and seeking nursingwear for the office? A breastfeeding dress (nursing dress) looks smart and corporate, and there are plenty of smart styles to choose from. A maxi dress for nursing is probably not the best choice for corporate maternity wear. Perhaps go for a simple, stylish nursing dress with a hemline at knee length. Online clothes stores specifically for breastfeeding clothes will have a great choice of nursing dresses, or try the Australian Breastfeeding Association stores Mothers Direct for nursing tops and nursing dresses in Melbourne or Brisbane.

Going out in the evening with a young baby is not easy, but an evening breastfeeding dress (or evening nursing dress) is a great choice. Otherwise, dress up a smart breastfeeding top and skirt or pants. A breastfeeding dress such as the Mothers en Vogue nursing maxi dress could work here, or go for a black dress with some beautiful jewellery. No-one will know it’s a breastfeeding dress!  Hanging around the house is something we all do a lot of as a new mum, so a comfortable stretch breastfeeding dress is ideal as the staple buy for your new wardrobe. Try a breastfeeding dress in modal (made from sustainable birch trees!). It doesn’t pill, fade or lose its shape. Best of all, it’s a divine fabric to wear. Happy breastfeeding and enjoy looking at our range of maternity and breastfeeding clothes.
