Post baby outfit help please....

DC2 is due any day now and I would like a couple of outfits for over Xmas which look ok.

All being well, I will be b'fing so need something with easy access for norks. I will also have hideous post baby tummy so can't have anything too clingy or ideally anything which makes me look still pregnant. I'd like something reasonably dressy/smart for xmas day but obviously still practical for a week or so post birth

I was thinking perhaps some kind of wrap dress with a vest underneath ... maybe .... or some long line tunic tops with buttons down..

Any ideas ? I'm 5' 7", normally 12-14 (pics on profile)

I wore a wrap style dress with vest top last Christmas when breastfeeding 4 month DS. Was from Laura Ashley.

Wrap dresses definitly!

Or a jumper or jersey dress with buttons.

La redoute have some lovely ones.

I'd recommend wearing hold ups rather than tights too - Jhn Lewis have the comfiest.

nice red wrapover dress

£15 off with code 6213

DisElfchanted3 · 08/12/2009 09:25

this is nice

you could get a cargdigan to hide the baby tum in between feeds

Tillyscoutsmum · 08/12/2009 15:15

Thanks. I like the La redoute dresses.
