Breastfeeding clothes are very important for women who wish to nurse their children in public places. They allow the mother easy access to the breast and they also help to protect the modesty of the mother too.

The great thing about breastfeeding clothes is that they keep everything covered, whilst allowing the baby to nurse without great effort. Most breastfeeding tops contain a modesty panel which can be moved around when the baby needs to feed, whilst giving good coverage to the rest of the body. Today’s nursing tops are also very stylish and on trend compared to the nursing clothes of old. Frumpy and boring maternity wear and breastfeeding outfits are now a thing of the past with many major designers and online outlets like us at Bella Mama, producing beautiful pieces which meet the needs of modern mothers and allowing them to dress to suit their own styles and personal tastes.

There are many different types of breastfeeding clothes available today, from simple, uncomplicated tops, to intricately designed blouses and dresses. To allow easy, comfortable breastfeeding, most of the tops come with special openings in the design. The most common being an extra panel which can be lifted up in order to feed the baby. The top layer provides a barrier which allows the mother to keep her modesty and remain comfortable whilst the baby feeds. This is particularly useful in public situations when women can often feel embarrassed about baring a little too much flesh to strangers.

If it is comfort you are after, sticking with plain breastfeeding t shirts and vests is probably the best idea, as these are easiest to manoeuvre and can be worn effortlessly. Team your shirt with a nursing bra and you will be as comfortable as can be throughout your breastfeeding experience.
