The Latest Nursing Wear Trends

By: Kelly Gough

With more celebrities raising the profile of breastfeeding, nursing wear is the hottest new trend in maternity fashion. Breastfeeding mums no longer have to sacrifice fashion for function, with clothing now designed for discreet nursing in mind.

Here are my tips on the leading trends in nursing wear.

1. Fashion Breastfeeding tops
Nursing tanks will always be staples in any breastfeeding mums wardrobe, but now the big move is towards breastfeeding tops that embrace the latest fashion trends. This is due to more mums breastfeeding out and about in public and wanting to look good too!

2. Innovative new openings
Look out for better disguised and discreet nursing openings built into breastfeeding tops. No longer is the horizontal opening the way to go. Mums are looking for tops that don’t look like they are made for breastfeeding.

3. Natural Fabrics
The big trend is towards high quality and natural fibres such as Cotton. These fabrics breathe, feel soft and last the distance, as well as being environmentally-friendly.

4. Wardrobe Essentials
Modern nursing wear is now designed to become a part of your wardrobe long after you finish breastfeeding. With quality fabrics, cut and design, breastfeeding clothing will easily combine into your existing wardrobe, without anyone guessing they are made for nursing.

5. Maternity Sleepwear
Gone are the frumpy, oversized button-up nighties that your mother wore. Nursing sleepwear has undergone a transformation with sexy styles that making breastfeeding a breeze. Think wrap fronts, stretchy fabrics and drop-cup designs to help you feel like a goddess in the bedroom.
