I have found finding suitable outfits for both breastfeeding and my post birth body very difficult. Before pregnancy I was an avid dress wearer, pretty much my whole wardrobe is dresses! So when it came to getting a bump I had to but some slightly different style dresses, which wasn't a problem. However after giving birth was a completely different story. Finding outfits that looked ok on my swollen, wobblier and just generally larger breastfeeding body was a daily struggle. My wardrobe of dresses became useless because I couldn't breastfeed in them and most of my tops were too tight around my tummy area. All of these issues didn't help my already lack of confidence about what pregnancy and giving birth had done to my body.
After lots of online searching and shopping I finally have a capsule wardrobe suitable for breastfeeding and my changed body shape. As I'm sure I can't be the only one struggling to find suitable breastfeeding outfits I thought if share my capsule breastfeeding wardrobe with you.
In this post I'll show you the items in my new breastfeeding capsule wardrobe and in another post I'll show you how you can mix and match these items to make many different outfit combinations.

Navy Crepe T Shirt - New Look - reduced to £5 (now only available in cream)

Ah I'm the same about dresses, all I wore before! Now I'm just in jeans and baggy tshirts which I like but not all day everyday... finding it difficult to buy clothes cos I don't feel like anything looks good on me anymore x
ReplyDeleteI completely understand, I feel like no one warned me that my body would change so much after giving birth! It's taking a lot of getting used to.
