What do I need for breastfeeding?

All you truly require for breastfeeding are your baby and your breasts, just like you only need your hands and mouth to devour a juicy steak. But let’s face it, evolution has made life easier and more dignified – enter the fork and knife. And for breastfeeding and pumping mamas, we have our own tools of the trade – specialized feeding clothes, the knife and fork for an easy and chic feeding experience.

What should I wear while breastfeeding?

The best breastfeeding outfits are the trifecta of comfort, function, and fashion. These specially crafted garments are designed to make breastfeeding easier and discreet while providing you and your baby with the ultimate comfort.

When searching for breastfeeding clothes, opt for soft, breathable fabrics that will keep you and your little one cozy. Stretchy or adjustable fabrics in styles like Wrap Tops, Overlay Feeding Tops, and Everyday Feeding Dresses, will also provide a flattering fit for your ever-changing body.

Say goodbye to the days of feeling uncomfortable and exposed while breastfeeding in public! With discreet access clothing, you can easily feed your baby without having to completely undress, making breastfeeding in public an absolute breeze. It's the ultimate convenience for any mom on-the-go, giving you the freedom to feed your baby anytime, anywhere, without the hassle or discomfort. So, whether you're running errands, meeting up with friends, or exploring the great outdoors, you can breastfeed confidently and comfortably, all while looking your best!

Should I wear a bra during breastfeeding?

One of the most common changes in your body after giving birth, is the enlargement of your breasts and the discomfort that comes with it. Like, what are those things even doing?!

But don't worry, there's a solution that can bring some relief: a well-fitting feeding bra. Not only can it provide the support and flexibility you need, but it can also help you feel more comfortable and confident as you navigate the postpartum life. 

Avoid bras with uncomfortable wires, clasps and hooks – rather look out for seamless comfort with wide bands and adjustable straps (that move with your body).

So why not treat yourself to a bra that not only fits well but also makes you feel amazing? After all, you deserve it!

How many bras do I need?

When it comes to Feeding Bras, we recommend always having four: one to wear, wash, keep and sleep in.
