Dress to breastfeed in for wedding, help!

4 replies

Pobblewhohasnotoes · 19/08/2014 11:15

I'm attending a wedding with my newborn soon and am breastfeeding. Where can I get a nice dress from which I can feed in but also look nice?

I'm only 5ft 2, size 10, so have issues that most dresses are quite long on me, but I've also still got my tummy so am quite self conscious.

Can anyone suggest anything? Help most appreciated in my tired state. It would be lovely to look nice for a day!

I bought a lovely Tiffany Rose maternity dress when I was a breastfeeding guest at a wedding. It was nice and stretchy, with a cross-over front so easy boob access. As it was a maternity dress, there was plenty of room in the front for a post-natal tummy, but equally it didn't look like I was obviously still wearing maternity clothes when we attended a different wedding with a 7 month old baby. In fact I love the dress so much I still wear it occasionally and DS is nearly 3

Something like this (I bought 2nd hand on Ebay as I was a bit eek at the price, although given how much I've worn it, it would have been worth it even if bought new!):

How about something like this?

I didn't have one, but wore their stuff all the way through my pregnancies (and still occasionally now!!!)

I'm having the same problem but have just worn my normal dress and fed in the car. A bit of a hassle at times but means I don't have to buy new clothes.
