Look good and feel good whilst breastfeeding: What to wear post-baby

Between breastfeeding your little one and frequent nappy changes, it can be difficult to find the time to work out what to wear which will allow for quick and easy feeding, whilst flattering your new mama figure. The following tips from BellaMama.co.uk will help...

1.    Whilst your pre-pregnancy jeans and trousers may still be a little way off, resist the temptation to continue wearing your maternity trousers. Soft waisted, stretchy or drawstring trousers and skirts will be comfy and avoid giving you  post-pregnancy muffin top.

2.    Patterned and darker coloured breastfeeding tops will hide any baby spit-up and leaking milk.

3.    Draw the eyes upwards with interesting necklines and/or pretty necklaces – directing attention away from new mum tum and towards your new mama glow

4.    Breastfeeding tops featuring Ruching, shirring and draped fabrics which softly disguise any post-natal pounds are a new mum’s best friend!

5.    Black in moderation! Whilst black can be super slimming, resist the temptation to wear it top to toe. Wearing too much black can be draining to the complexion and leave you looking in need of a good night’s sleep, so try midnight blue or chocolate brown nursing tops as a dark but flattering alternative.

6.    A pop of colour can also lift your mood, so try adding a brightly coloured breastfeeding top, chunky piece of jewellery, scarf or belt to your outfit.
