What to wear during breastfeeding

Mothers who are breastfeeding do not have very strong physical resistance and are vulnerable to various threats. The mother's health also directly affects the baby's health. Therefore, more attention should be paid to food, clothing, housing and transportation in daily life. For breastfeeding mothers, they need to pay special attention to what they wear during breastfeeding, and they also need certain skills, so as to avoid unnecessary embarrassment. So how should they match clothes appropriately? Let's take a look at some of the following experiences.

What to wear during breastfeeding

First, avoid solid colors and tight-fitting clothes, and choose patterned, sweatshirt-style loose-fitting tops, preferably with a zipper at the waist that zips up to the chest. Because clothes with complex patterns will not be easily visible even if milk is spilling, and the waist zipper is convenient when breastfeeding, and the baby will also cover your abdomen for you.

Second, you can choose a loose-fitting top designed specifically for breastfeeding mothers with a discreet opening at the chest; or choose a loose-fitting top that buttons in the front.

Third, when the weather is cold, you can use a scarf or shawl to drape over your shoulders. It is not only beautiful, but also can cover the baby who is breastfeeding, so you don’t have to worry about the baby getting cold.

Fourth, some mothers choose to use a sling for feeding. This is not very common, but mothers who are interested can try it. Slings are relatively beautiful and elegant.

What nursing bra to wear during breastfeeding

1. Choose from fabrics

The hormone level in the mother's body surges after childbirth, causing the skin to become more sensitive, especially the nipples and areola. Abrasions can easily occur if you are not careful, which is not conducive to postpartum breastfeeding. Breastfeeding mothers should choose skin-friendly and soft pure cotton, which is soft, breathable and has good moisture absorption, so that mothers can always feel dry and breathable during breastfeeding.

2. Choose from the style

As the breasts grow larger after childbirth, the lower circumference also becomes wider, which means that the bras worn before pregnancy are no longer suitable for wearing. Wearing tight bras for a long time will also cause compression of the breasts, making mothers feel uncomfortable. More importantly, it will also affect the secretion of milk. Therefore, in terms of style, we should still choose loose and comfortable ones, especially the size. It should not be too loose, resulting in a lack of support, which would not be worth the cost. Experts recommend that mothers choose to wear styles without underwires. Styles without underwires are not only comfortable but also have good support, allowing mothers to be comfortable without the risk of sagging breasts.

Choose from openings designed for easy breastfeeding

The first postpartum nursing bra is designed to facilitate breastfeeding, which is also the focus we need to pay attention to. There are currently three opening designs: top opening, open hole, and front button design. Among them, the top opening design is the most commonly used style, which allows direct breastfeeding, reducing the tedious steps of breastfeeding and reducing the frequency of the baby's crying and anxiety.

The second type is the open-hole type, which is very concealed and many working mothers like to buy it.

The third front-button style does not have as strong support as the other two, but it is very comfortable and is very suitable for mothers who are often at home.
