Nursing clothes

A woman always remains a fashionable woman, even if she has recently given birth to a child and breastfeeds him. Despite this difficult period, she wants to look good, have a haircut and dress stylishly. Some 7-10 years ago there were practically no beautiful clothes for this category of customers on the market, but now nursing mothers clothes are presented in a large assortment. What are the requirements of lactating women to clothes? Comfort, comfortable fit, nice fabric to the body and of course, fashion matching.

Comfort is one of the main criteria by which nursing women choose their clothes. Breast during lactation is very sensitive and enlarged, there is a possibility of leakage of breast milk. Therefore, in the area of ​​the bodice should not be placed any hard inserts, darts, corsets. To ensure not only physical but also psychological comfort (women’s nipples are often in an excited state), the bodice has a duplicated insert that prevents the breast from standing out.

In demi-season clothing, the underarms, neck and chest must be protected from drafts.

Contrary to popular belief, blouses and bodices should be made only from cotton, clothes for nursing mothers should be sewn from different fabrics. The main criterion is the hypoallergenic material, while the fabric can consist of only 50% natural fibers. The reason why only natural fabrics are not used in underwear and blouses is simple: frequent washing and a rapid loss of presentation. Nursing women wash clothes and tops daily, cotton bras stretch and stop holding heavy breasts, which does not in the best way affect its shape.

Comfortable clothing for feeding - one from which you can easily and quickly release the breast and remove it back. In addition, when feeding should not be visible part of the female body. That is why all specialized models have a certain cut.

Bras They are made of thick fabric with a detachable flap that allows you to quickly reach the breast and feed the child. Additionally, they are equipped with pockets for inserts that protect the nipples from friction; You can often find models with pockets for inserts from the flow of milk.

Sweatshirts very often have a V-shaped neck, which is formed by laying the fabric crosswise (zapAh). At the same time, folds are formed on the bodice, which are easily moved aside if it is necessary to give the baby chest in a public place.

Choosing clothes for feeding is a very difficult issue. This is especially true underwear. No woman can be sure whether the milk will come, how long the lactation will last, what size the breast will become. Therefore, to take underwear for mothers in advance is not worth it. Such an important and intimate part of the wardrobe a woman should choose herself, having measured it beforehand. In practice, with the arrival of milk, the female breast increases by two sizes, so it is impossible to buy underwear with the previously accustomed cup volume.

All nursing bras are sewn without stones. Support for heavy breasts is due to the wide and elastic straps. Breast during this period is particularly vulnerable to mastopathy and mastitis, therefore, manufacturers of linen completely eliminate the pressure on the mammary gland.

On the bra must be a valve for feeding (or a sliding pocket). When buying laundry, test the flap, you should easily unfasten it and fasten it with one hand, because you will hold the baby on the second hand. Good lingerie provides breast support even with the flap unbuttoned.

The bust lining for nursing should be made of cotton, the top can be made of any other material that holds the shape well.

You can take with you to the hospital homewear and special pajamas for feeding. You can create a set of clothes for sleeping: pick up comfortable pants and buy an elastic top with soft cups, which have not a buckle, but a pocket in the chest area. For the first few days, this is enough for you, because the milk does not come immediately, but after one or two days after the baby is born. After you can purchase a bodice.

If you prefer nightshirts, Then choose a model with a deep incision in the chest, models on the straps with flap, as well as models with cuts under the breast. Recommended material - thick cotton knitwear. Nightgown can be bought in advance by choosing the most suitable for yourself style.

Dresses for nursing mothers must meet certain criteria: in addition to the fact that a woman must have quick access to the breast, the dress must hide the metamorphosis that occurred with the body during pregnancy. Usually dresses have a detachable waist and a wide skirt that allows you to hide the belly and hips after childbirth. The upper part of the dress has a neckline, a rounded neckline with an elastic band or a horizontal slit under the breast. The length is usually from two fingers above the knee to the floor. When choosing a dress it is necessary to take into account that a bodice for feeding will be put on under it, so the neckline of the boat is not the best option. Beautiful clothes for moms - this is a good quality fabric.

Blouses and tunics usually sewn from cotton with the addition of elastane. They are equipped with secrets for feeding, allowing to give the child a breast without exposing it. The secrets include internal double shirts, cross-cut, allowing you to lift only the inside of the bodice, leaving the chest covered. Unlike dresses, knitted blouses will be relevant even after the end of feeding, when the breast takes its usual size. This allows a woman to create stylish sets of clothes for several seasons, without worrying about buying new things.

Having given birth to a child, a woman is not obliged to give up her usual style of clothing. If she used to wear sweatshirts and sweatshirts, sweaters, cardigans, as well as capes and sweatshirts, then she can wear all these things further. Moreover, these items can settle in the wardrobe of a woman during pregnancy. Stylish sweatshirt may have several options for "secrets" for feeding: two hidden zippers in chest tucks, a secret vertical "pocket", a horizontal pocket with adhesive tape. Cardigans have a very beautiful form like a cape.

Feeding Accessories make up an integral part of the wardrobe of a young mother. These include feeding scarves, kengurushki capes, aprons for feeding. Scarves are not only practical, but also incredibly stylish. They can be used not only for feeding, but also for everyday wear after the end of lactation. A special feature of scarves is the easily draped, non-abradable fabric, which retains its original color and shape after numerous washes.

Feeding aprons - This is a practical accessory, which consists of three layers: the upper and lower layers are cotton, between them there is a film. The apron is put on the neck and hides the baby from prying eyes. At the same time, it can serve not only as a cover, but also protects from rain, can be used as a waterproof diaper in a stroller.
