Shopping
for breastfeeding Dresses is considered about as fun as shopping for baby
diapers.

In reality, there are plenty of trendy breastfeeding styles out there
that make this shopping experience one that should be enjoyed instead of
dreaded.
There are several factors that should be considered to get the most
out of your shopping trip: where, when and how frequently you will be wearing
these clothes.
A
lot of the style choices available can be worn in different kinds of
environments - both casual and dressy. But where you will be wearing your
breastfeeding clothes the majority of the time is something you should
consider.
Will you primarily be at home in these clothes or will you be at
work, in social settings, or running errands? Obviously, you could wear the
same thing for many of these events, but it is more likely you will be in more
casual attire at home or for running errands than perhaps other settings.
Comfortable, breathable fabrics are essential for wherever you will be
traveling.
Also essential is material that does not wrinkle easily as you will
have a baby pulling on your clothes and be pulling your shirt up somewhat
frequently.
The goal is to have the satisfaction of breastfeeding without
everyone else knowing it by looking at your wrinkled clothing. If you will be
at home more, perhaps you will prefer a cotton tank with detachable straps. For
going out you could wear a button-up shirt, wrap shirt or tunic.
If
you want to limit your breastfeeding wardrobe as you only will be wearing it
for a year or two, pick some items that can be worn numerous times in various
ways. For example, avoid too many patterns that will be obvious repeats
whenever you wear them.

Stick with more classic styles and solid colors. A
white button-up shirt would be a good choice as well as a few other colors you
prefer. Also, a good wardrobe addition would be a black, brown and lighter
colored tank with detachable straps. These could be worn individually or
layered underneath other shirts or sweaters.
The nice thing about tanks is you
can wear them with shirts that are not designed for breastfeeding. As long as
the shirt on top is stretchy or loose enough to be pulled up, you can still
breastfeed underneath.
This is nice for when you are tired of wearing primarily
breastfeeding clothes. Also, you will have additional privacy as your stomach
still will be covered by the tank.

Consider
a few special breastfeeding clothes items that you will wear when you want to
feel sexy. Select a slinky, wrap top in a satin material. Pick a few shirts
with bold patterns or colors - knowing you will not be wearing them every day.
Buy a wrap dress that says, "I'm one hot mama, and I know it." Buying
breastfeeding clothes does not have to be dreaded. These are clothes that can
be functional and trendy. Plus you can go more extreme with the current
fashions because you know you will be wearing something different a couple
years from now anyway.
