Dresses you can breastfeed in.. HELP!

22 replies

crumpetsolo · 30/10/2010 09:55

I was SO excited at the prospect of being able to wear my normal clothes again, I'd forgotten that it's next to impossible to breastfeed in a dress (without hoiking it up and showing everyone your knickers, which is not ideal!) - I was looking forward to a winter living in jumper (or any) dresses, tights and boots.

Does anyone know of any breastfeeding friendly dresses - ie with working buttons, kind of Henley style...? Similar styles to the Hush Henley dress I guess (but ideally a bit cheaper!)

Thanks

bumping for same reason as you

i find that anything with a low cut v neck, stretchy, like a wrapround works. i find it easier to pop out over top and wear a scarf to help cover up a bit!

i have a small/medium breastfeeding dress from frugi. Will try and find link. If either of you want it it is yours.

If neither of these guys are interested Tweetweet i may be. What size does iy equate to?

Bumperlicious · 30/10/2010 13:37

Sorry, cross posts!

SpawnChorus · 30/10/2010 13:45

Agree with Nightshade. I hoik down with stretchyish dresses.

lol should have started a bidding war Wink

It is a 10/12/14. Slightly random sizing. I was a 10/12 bottom with 32/4 f norks and it fit nicely and would have been fine with weight gain.

Aw, it's a bit big for me then I think - I will have to relinquish it unfortunately! Thank you though

I just wear the jumper dress but wear [whispers] jeggings and a vest top underneath so I can lift it up to feed.

Bumperlicious · 30/10/2010 21:02

Don't you find them a bit chunky to lift? Ideally we need cowl neck dresses to pull down.

TweetTweet · 30/10/2010 23:22

lol ok! Dress back on offer :)

GraceK · 30/10/2010 23:36

Wrap dresses.

Anything with a low v-neck in stretchy fabric -such as this which I'm wearing & feeding with atm teamed with a selection of pashminas.

GrandhighBOOba · 31/10/2010 09:55

Yes, a bit chunky, but cowl necks do not look good on my currently huge chest!

I've got this from Gap and it is very easy to breastfeed in. It is reduced too.

MrsC2010 · 31/10/2010 20:00

Wrap dresses, try ebay.

I wear this with a t-shirt under...t-shirt up and wrap to one side...easy peasy!

CreeperSutherland · 31/10/2010 23:12

I ordered that dress a while back, crumpet, and it looked like a nighty on me!

otchayaniye · 01/11/2010 06:49

I wear dresses all the time and breastfed (well, still do) out and about for 21 months.

Wraps. Wear a camisole, hoik it up and pull the dress to one side. Job done
