Find what works for you
Choose by how you like to feed
Different clothes open in different ways. Find the feeding access that works best for you.
Hidden zips
Concealed zips built into seams for quick, discreet access. Often used in dresses, jumpsuits and sweatshirts.
Lift-up access
Lift a layer or panel to feed underneath. Simple and especially good for everyday tops.
Button-front
Classic buttons give flexible feeding access without making the piece look like nursing wear.
Poppers
Quick-release fastenings that open easily for feeding and close neatly afterwards.
Layered access
Overlapping or fold-over panels move aside for feeding while keeping access discreet.
Made for real life
Dressing for every season and occasion
Breastfeeding doesn't pause for the weather or your calendar. For colder months, layer with pieces that give you proper feeding access without having to pull everything up.
Heading to a wedding, work event or simply want to feel a little more dressed up? Look for dresses and jumpsuits with discreet access built into the design, so feeding is easy without the outfit looking like traditional nursing wear.
A better way to choose
What to look for in breastfeeding clothes
The best breastfeeding clothes make feeding easier without making the nursing function the first thing you notice.
Look for access you can use quickly, fabrics that feel comfortable against a changing body and cuts you'll still want to wear beyond breastfeeding. Hidden zips work well in dresses and jumpsuits, lift-up panels keep everyday tops simple, while buttons, poppers and layered openings can offer flexible access without changing the overall look of the piece.
There isn't one right style. The best option is the one that works with how you like to dress and how you actually feed.
Good to know
Breastfeeding clothes FAQs
Do I really need special breastfeeding clothes?
No. Plenty of mums breastfeed in regular clothes. Breastfeeding clothes simply give you easier access, which can be useful when you're feeding frequently, out and about or want to stay a little more covered.
What should I look for in a breastfeeding dress?
Look for feeding access you can reach easily, such as concealed zips, buttons, poppers or overlapping panels. A comfortable fit and a style you'll genuinely want to wear after breastfeeding matter just as much.
Can I wear breastfeeding clothes during pregnancy?
Many pieces can work through pregnancy, postpartum and breastfeeding, but it depends on the cut and fabric. Check the fit notes and product description for each piece before choosing.
How many breastfeeding tops or dresses do I actually need?
You don't need a completely new wardrobe. A couple of pieces you genuinely enjoy wearing can be much more useful than lots of specialist clothing you rarely reach for. Start with what fits naturally into your everyday wardrobe and build from there.
