Mummascribbles – Trendy clothes for easy breastfeeding – Mummascribbles

This is a collaborative post

It’s really easy to get stuck in a rut with the wardrobe post kids. I know that after I had Zach I spent way too long wearing my maternity jogging bottoms, and there was only so long I could get away with blaming the csection scar for their usage! The same thing happened after Oscar – I spent weeks wearing baggy trousers because of the pain from the episiotamy. It’s so easy post pregnancy to find yourself in a bit of a slump. To not being worried about looking your best and to just throw on whatever is closest to you.

I have found that second time around, I care a lot more about my appearance. On most days I try to get up before the other half so that I can be showered and dressed before he leaves for work. I feel far more in control of the day when I am ready, knowing that it’ll be easy for me to leave the house if I haven’t got to find time to shower and get ready around Oscar’s naps (which are still all over the place!). 

After I got out of the baggy trouser phase and the not yet back into my pre pregnancy jeans (which I haven’t even tried again yet!), I bought myself a couple of trusted pairs of jeggings. They basically look like skinny jeans but are so beautifully stretchy that I can hide all of the sins away! I also bought myself a bunch of nursing tops that make me feel pretty swish and yet ready to whack a boob out at a moments notice. 

The small problem I’ve had is that all of the tops that I bought have short sleeves and with it being ruddy cold right now, I’ve been a bit chilly. Decent breastfeeding clothes are almost as hard to find as decent maternity wear so I’ve been looking at how I can use normal clothes around still having easy access for Oscar’s demands. Cropped t-shirts like the ones below from Rokit can easily be worn over my nursing vests meaning I can keep my stomach covered when I need to feed. They would also look really fab with my jeggings and also the new Timberland calf high boots that I just bought! I really like the idea of experimenting with this look.

It can be really hard to feel like a trendy mumma when you are breastfeeding but I reckon this is a great combination to make feeding easy and comfortable. And seeing as I have a boob monster for a child, one that I don’t see ending his love of breastfeeding any time soon…I need to have a solid collection of clothes to make me feel like a trendy mumma whilst we are out and about!
