Milk Nursingwear

Have you shopped for nursing wear recently? I have breastfed babies for 26 months in total and during that time I have owned exactly one cute nursing top. One. In 26 months. This means that 99.9% of the time I am wearing my “mom uniform”, a tank top with a cardigan or hoodie, so I can breastfeed easily. That’s over 2 years of drab-ness, if anyone is counting.

So, when Milk Nursingwear invited me to pick something out of their extensive catalog, I was like a kid in a candy store. No, make that a baby in milk shoppe… er, something like that. Somehow that analogy went way wrong, but either way, I was excited.

When it came time to actually decide what I wanted most of all the things I was drooling over, I narrowed it down to their dresses. With a summer vacation on the horizon and warm weather on my mind {but NOT on the forecast… oh, Washington… sigh}, I knew that I wanted to get something fun and cool for my warm weather wardrobe. The moment I laid eyes on the Flirty Halter Dress from Milk Nursingwear in black, I knew it was it.

And I was even more impressed upon seeing my LBND {little black nursing dress, naturally} in person. It is made of super soft 95% cotton and 5% lycra which means it is machine washable and unwrinkles upon unfolding, making it perfect for parks or for dressier occasions. After it was out of the package I immediately had to model it, and found that it was just as flattering as I had hoped.

One thing I loved right away was the adjustable tie that allows you to get the perfect fit, something which I hadn’t realized would be that important. Because the dress is designed for pregnancy, nursing, and beyond, I really like that I can customize the fit as my shape changes. Also, instead of deep V that is a bit much while breastfeeding, the Flirty Halter has a crisscrossed V top that is less revealing but still fun and flirty.

When wearing for nursing, the top layer of this empire top lifts up revealing a built-in shelf bra with access openings for discreet nursing. What’s great about this is that it doesn’t look at all like a nursing top when in place, it just looks like a really cute empire waist dress!

Because I love the fit and finish of the Flirty Nursing Halter Dress, I am looking forward to wearing my LBND for a long, long time, well after I have stopped lactating and have {hopefully} returned to my pre-pregnancy size for good. For the price and the fact that it can easily be worn well after the babies are grown, I think it is a must-have for pregnant and nursing moms during the warm weather months.
