Clothing designed to make breastfeeding easier by Mother & Baby TV

Mother and Baby magazine's shopping editor Sarah Lafarge discusses the range of options for breastfeeding wear on the market and mums share which products they find most comfortable.

Breastfeeding in public can be a cause for concern for many mums whether you are a seasoned breastfeeder or just starting out with your first baby. A way to help this process become more natural, it is worth looking into clothes specifically designed for breastfeeding. They have the added advantage of being designed to make breastfeeding more discreet and easy to do when you are out and about.

Breastfeeding tops
Clothes designed for breastfeeding are designed in a way to look like any other clothes you might have in your wardrobe. What they offer that your regular clothes do not are cleverly designed hidden panels, bias cuts and layering that allow quick access to your boobs and enable you to feed on the go discreetly and with ease.

Breastfeeding clothes are easy to find today in many high street stores and the choices are wide allowing just about any mum to find a top they like. As with all clothes, always worth hunting around online as the choice is wider and you can even get some bargains!

Points to consider
Comfort - we all want to look stylish but if the clothes aren't comfy, forget it! Breastfeeding clothes should be soft and fitted, yet provide room for manoeuvre in all the right places. Most tops specifically designed for feeding are made from gentle fabrics and there are numerous organic options that are entirely chemical-free and therefore ideal for both you and your baby.

Value for money - feeding clothes can be pricier than your average t-shirt or dress but they are usually thoughtfully designed and make a good investment - especially if it's your first baby.
