Nursing Tops can be Fashionable!

By A Rothwell

Nursing tops are specially constructed so that your baby can get access to feeding without you lifting your top. Breastfeeding tops are ideal if you want to wear a fashionable fitted or long top. Styles differ - a fabric cross-over at the front is a classic breastfeeding top design, simply because it is so easy to use one-handed.

Other styles for nursing tops include tunic tops - not usually an option for the nursing mommy, but new styles have cleverly designed access for breastfeeding so you can make the most of the current tunic trend.

The best breastfeeding tops are, of course, cut to flatter the New Mum shape - bigger around the boob and not clingy over the tummy. Look for stretchy material, if the fabric contains elastane, it will always look good. Team with slim jeans and boots for stylish winter feeding. Breastfeeding tops with bold interesting prints give your new mum wardrobe variety, while plain nursing tops, including classic black, will go with anything.

Bear in mind that maternity accessories such as a long wide scarf can also be a useful aid to screen yourself from neighbours as you latch baby on.

And of course, dont forget your underwear! Maternity underwear is a must. Key things to remember are that you need to be able to unclip speedily without fiddly clasps and hooks. Of course, you must get something that fits great. Try ordering a few styles of nursing underwear in a few different sizes. Try them all on, jiggle about and keep only those that really fit and feel fantastic! - 15995
