I feed ds in bed on my side so need access to the boobs. But i obviously then need to pull duvet down to be safely out of the way for him. I usually wear t-shirts to bed and havent really invested in anything over than 2 short sleeve nursing nighties and I am cold!! What does everyone else do?? I dont wanna wear dressing gown because of the cord and someone said no button down tops because baby may suck on them when asleep Hmm

As usual. Confused.

I wear long sleeved thermal tops from Uniqlo (I think they’re called heat tech) . Stretchy and snug - just lift up or pull down to feed.

I have a couple of old cardigans that I have pulled the buttons off. My boobs produce their own heat so I find it's just my arms I need to keep warm

I wear a onesie with a zip down the middle. Keeps me fairly warm.

It looks ridiculous but I am warm and cozy :)

I’ve got a thin stretchy dressing gown that I took the cord off, then I wear a vest, a long sleeve top and possibly an extra cardi Blushnever thought about buttons! But dd is 11 months and doesn’t feed lying down so she’s never got her face smushed in me lying down I guess. Never appreciated how cold nights were with no duvet! That sleeping bag looks fab!

When my baby comes into the bed, I just stick a sweatshirt over my nursing vest so that I’m still pretty covered.

So most of you lift/drop your top? We fall asleep alot....so I'm conscious of flopping my top on him once i drift off. Tempted to cut slits in old long sleeve tops.....

A feeding vest and new look boyfriend cardigan (has no buttons) If it was really cold I used one of those blankets with sleeves in.

I have some feeding PJ tops from mothercare that have a panel to lift up for boob access . Saves getting a cold stomach! Then I wear a long cardi or dressing gown if it’s cold.

Pyjama tops with buttons down the front and just leave them open with a vest underneath x
