Our Top Breastfeeding Wear & Nursing Bras
We're still celebrating breastfeeding week with our top maternity wear and nursing bra picks.'
Breastfeeding is the most natural and beautiful process for all mothers. Often parents focus on ensuring that the baby has the right clothes, bibs, toys, creams and so on, that they often forget about themselves in the process. Especially when it comes down to clothing. It's your choice on how long you would like to feed your baby is up to you, some mothers breastfeed their children up to the age of two, but it is recommended that you feed them for at least six months. This may not look like a long time, but if you have to feed them every 2-3 hours for six months can seem quite a long time, especially if you aren't wearing the right nursing bra or maternity wear.'
So we've picked a few of our favourite nursing bras and maternity wear to make your breastfeeding journey easier, making you on stylish and trending breastfeeding 'milking mama'.
