summer dresses and breastfeeding

[thehappyprince]

Hi - with holidays looming and weather lovely and hot, I'm craving a couple of nice summer dresses - easy to wear, comfortable and look smart.....but........I'm feeding ds2 and any dresses I have are totally impractical. Does anyone have any recommendations of dresses that are fairly flattering on a 12-14 frame (I am short) where I wouldn't have to unceremoniously hoik a boob out for all to see or get half undressed to feed?

Try Boob and Bara Glad dresses.

I think I bought mine from the everydaymaternity website - so nice I've kept them post-breastfeeding.

I would second the Boob dresses, they are a bit pricey but I picked up one in a sale and one on ebay so worth keeping a look out for them. I am an 8-10 and had the small size so you would probably be fine in the medium. Search for Boob nursing on ebay as you might get anything if you're not careful!

Great - thanks, I will keep an eye on e-bay, I've had a look at the full price boob dresses and they look fab but I am being tight and will try to hold out for e-bay(though I will probably weaken)!
I might try Bara Glad, they look more summery than alot of the nursing dresses I've seen. So tempting to just buy regular dresses but I know I'll regret it when I have to go up to the bedroom every time ds needs fed.
Thanks!

I hoik :D

Seriously, get yourself a couple of thoise pashmina/scarf things they sell in shopping centres, 3 for £10, and there you go- discreet breastfeeding.

I scoured the shops for ones that unbutton - have only got 3 but wear them a lot
blouses and skirts also good, also ofetn cooler to have airflow round waist in this heat
