I’m not one of those “on the go” moms who runs errands every single day with baby in tow. I actually plan rather strategically so that I can do most of my shopping and other outside-the-house tasks done either by myself, or just with Darah while Tim stays with Layah. I’m not afraid to go out with her; I just know the tasks will be completed much faster without a baby.
But there are times when I simply need to be out for a long time, and my entire family is with me. For example, when we went to Atlanta for a mini-vacation a few weeks ago, we had several things we wanted to do during the day before heading to the hotel (a trip to Ikea, which I’ll blog about later, a trip to Trader Joe’s, and a trip to the Varsity for some dinner). I wasn’t going to let the fact that I needed to breastfeed Layah multiple times during that trip spoil it for me.
All I needed to do was dress appropriately so that nursing her would not be too difficult. Milk Nursingwear had the perfect top for me to wear during our marathon day, and I have to say, it made breastfeeding a breeze. It also made me feel stylish, which is a HUGE accomplishment for nursingwear.
Here I am at the Varsity enjoying my meal. Layah enjoyed her meal afterwards! Ha!
To get a better idea of what the shirt looks like and how it works for nursing, here’s a image from the Milk website:
The cowl neck nursing shirt is really soft, and I love the color. I wore this all day, and probably fed Layah 4 times while wearing it. I was never uncomfortable and never had a hard time feeding her on account of my wardrobe. It was really quite refreshing! At home I just wear whatever, and often have to completely remove my top to feed the baby. That’s fine if I’m in my own house, but it actually gets kind of old. I’ve started wearing this shirt at home for convenience sake, and if I’m out with the baby, I almost certainly am wearing this. It’s my favorite nursing shirt!
Milk Nursingwear has the best selection of affordable and fashionable nursing clothing I have ever found. The company is also founded by a mother of four. Elisa knows first hand how important it is to have modern styles that support breastfeeding. She’s done a wonderful job with her company, I think!
I also want to point out the sale section of the site. That’s a great place to find a bargain!

Where to start! I like so many of the tops and dresses on their site! But my first choice would be the sleeveless babydoll nursing top because not only is it cute but the looseness around the waist will help me hide some of the post-pregnancy flab until I can get my shape back!

Hard to choose, I really like about a dozen of them! I like the Contemporary Knot top, and the gathered loop top. I usually refuse to spend more than $10 on any top, but I may have to get one.
I usually just pull up my shirts when nursing–what kind of shirt are you wearing if you have to completely take it off?
