Tips for Choosing Nursing Tops

Nursing tops are specially designed clothing. Nursing tops are ideal if you want to wear a fitted or long top.Designs vary - a fabric cross-over at the front is a classic nursing top design, simply because it is so simple to use one-handed. Other attractive styles for nursing tops include tunic tops. Tunic tops are not usually an option for the breastfeeding Mum, but new styles have cleverly designed breastfeeding access 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 around the tummy. Look for stretchy, comfortable material, if the fabric contains elastane, it will keep its shape well. You can team the breastfeeding top with slim jeans and boots for stylish winter feeding. Breastfeeding tops with bold and interesting prints give your new mum wardrobe variety, while plain nursing tops, including classic black, will go with anything.

Remember 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, giving you some privacy as you nurse your baby in public. Pashminas and scarves also add variety to your maternity wardrobe, particularly towards the end of your pregnancy. Of course, a number of different coloured scarves will also help you make the most of your wardrobe options too.

And of course, don’t forget your underwear! Comfortable nursing underwear is a must. A priority is that you need to be able to unclip quickly without fiddly and difficult clasps and hooks. Of course, you must get something that fits properly. Try ordering some different styles of nursing underwear in a few different sizes. Try them all on, jiggle about and keep only those that really fit and feel comfortable to wear.
