Breastfeeding in style
Wherein we find the Breastfeeding is wonderful and natural, but a good lactation consultant — or a been-there-done-that mama — won’t tell you it’s always easy. And on top of cracked nipples, mastitis, poor latches, embarrassing leaks and incomprehensible pumps and bras, we also have to deal with nursing tops. For whatever reason, even though people have been nursing for millions of years, these garments tend to be made from bargain-bin fabrics (quite possibly the same fabrics used for medical scrubs) and quite often sport not-so-cleverly concealed nursing openings. It’s not that we’re ashamed of breastfeeding, mind you, but it would be nice to have the same fashion options as everyone else rather than something that screams to the world, “Hi there! I’m lactating!” Luckily, we can always count on a few retailers to provide apparel that allows us to not only pump, but also to nurse, in style. The “cupcake dress” by Majamas (at left, $35, Milkface.com) is a versatile option for fashion-forward nursing moms. It can be dressy with tights and pumps, or worn over jeans for a cool, casual look. The top wrap layer moves aside for easy feeding, and it features something we loved as a brand-new mama — a forgiving empire waist. Loose-fitting tops are all over the pages of our favorite fashion rags this year, and that’s a good thing when you’ve got a mommy tummy to lose. From sleek, chic tunics down to playful hoodies, Mamakaze has found a variety of favorite fall nursing tops.
