Wedding guest dress for nursing

whatacarryon2018 · 22/06/2025 22:29

Hi hive mind,
I currently have a ten week old baby and I have two weddings to attend in the summer. I’m trying to find something to wear and I’ve kind of hit a wall. Here are my requirements
-suitable for breastfeeding in easily (I’ve got a cover but nothing high neck)
-flattering, I’m usually size 12-14 hourglass, currently 16 with a lot of boobs
-on trend and stylish
-midi or maxi length

can anyone help??

There was a similar thread recently...I would go with a jersey faux wrap dress and a matching colour vest top underneath. Then you can do the 'one up one down' method I.e pull dress top down and vest top up. I'll try and find some pics..

I once did a strapless maxi dress that I could pull down for baby feeding. plus a large pashmina for modesty.

I had a couple from Girl in Mind, they do loads of wrap dresses and were great for feeding

There’s a Facebook group could ‘can i breastfeed in it?’ Where people post pics of good items they’ve found to wear. There will probably be a lot of wedding guest outfits shared at this time of year. I bought a dress someone shared a photo of on there to wear to a wedding a couple of years ago when feeding DS1 and was so glad I’d seen it

Have you tried bottle feeding?? For my wedding I simply used a plunger to lactate the milk into a funnel into the bottle. That way it’s easier and you can wear what you want
