Nursing Clothes

Jazzmint asked if the top I was wearing above was a nursing blouse, well, it’s not! :) It’s a long flowery blouse which I pair up with leggings or jeans.

Before I gave birth to Justin, I was worried about nursing in public as I hadn’t seen many mothers doing so. That’s why I bought a few nursing blouse in ready when I was pregnant. Most of the nursing blouses I bought are from Motherneeds, Moms In Minds, The Baby Loft, and Mothers En Vogue.

My favourite ones are those from Mothers En Vogue. Here are a few pieces of the nursing tops I bought from them:

Tops from Mothers En Vogue

But after Isabelle came along, I didn’t buy much. I began to shop for clothes which can be worn as nursing tops. Most of the time, I will buy some tops with a big V opening in front, like the one shown below:

Top with deep V cut

Then, I will pair the top with a tube or tube bra, like this:


So, when I want to nurse, I’ll just lift up the tube inside, without having to lift up the top. It’s really more convenient than some of the nursing tops I have. You can give it a try! BTW, even if you are not nursing, this see-through lacy blouse will also look hot with a tube bra, won’t it? :)

But if you are good at sewing, why not making your own nursing tops? Too bad I’m not good at this, I’d rather shop! :P

    Hey, you bought all the nursing blouses online? If cannot fit, how? I’ve been trying to search high and low for nursing tops.

    Mommy of two angels, this in one of the tops only, I have those not see-thru ones too!!! :)

    Baby Khong, they have measurement for the clothes. To be safe, I only buy one from each web store first and see how it fits. Motherneeds and Blessedmum.com have bigger size, while mothers en vogue is more fashionable and smaller. So I normally chose those expandable material to be safe. Once, I exchanged 2 bras I bought from The Baby Loft, just returned the things ASAP you found you can’t fit. Send them an email and return the stuffs. They’ll normally exchange or credit for me, as I’m regular already.
