Breastfeeding Dress

[GingerKombucha]

I'm going on a city break to Athens in May, I'm breastfeeding a very needy 2 month old and want some dresses that I can breastfeed in. I don't want special breastfeeding dresses as I've not seen any that are flattering and beautiful enough that I'll wear again and I hate the idea of buying things for one summer. I'm thinking shirt dresses, wrap dresses or dresses loose enough I can pull down. Not too fussed about modesty as can just throw a scarf over. I'm feeling a bit old and uninspired so don't want anything dowdy or floral midi dresses, would prefer grown up and stylish. I'm currently a size 12 with post c-section tummy and want something flattering. Budget up to about £300. Any ideas?

I bought a few with buttons from boden when feeding Ds. I still use them 3 years on.

There's no such thing as a needy 2 month old. That's just a normal 2 month old. They're designed to be almost permanently attached at that age. They need a lot of milk and comfort for all their growth spurts and developmental leaps. You are their only source, and you're doing amazingly. Sometimes it's us who need to adjust our expectations of normal newborn behaviour because my god they're intense!

I love Piccalilly wrap dresses. You'll want a size small. They're so comfy, accessible and flattering. Downside is you need to like bright patterns..... but they are amazing dresses with pockets.

They're not needy. They're 2 months old

this is lovely I saw it in store. It has a stretchy back so would be easily pulled down to accommodate breast feeding 🤱 enjoy Athens!
edited to add … just saw you said no floral midi dresses sorry 🤣

A couple of options here. You could also ask on the 'Can I Breastfeed in it: Facebook group.
I've not seen these dresses in real life so can't common on how good the access is.

There’s a Facebook group called ‘Can I breastfeed in it? UK’ which has lots of recommendations, maybe worth a look.
