Nursing wear must-have

It's a wonderful feeling to get your pre-pregnancy body back and put on your old clothes that you've shelved for some months now in exchange for maternity wear.

For a breastfeeding mom, however, some of those old clothes will still have to be put aside in exchange for nursing wear. (If you do plan to breastfeed your little one, it’s best to buy maternity clothes that could double as nursing wear).

But thanks to creations such as nursing undershirts, tanks and camisoles, you can continue wearing your old tops and still be able to breastfeed discreetly in public.

My top pick is Mamaway’s nursing tank with bra which you can wear on its own, but I prefer to put it under my regular clothes. Since it is equipped with a bra, you no longer need to wear your nursing brassiere. Plus, it is made of breathable cotton and spandex to go with the contour of your body. If you are topping it with your regular clothes though, it could get too hot if you are outside without air-conditioning. So, plan ahead and wear it only if you are going to malls or where there is proper ventilation.

Mamaway's nursing tank with bra sells for Php1,400.

If you favor a lighter material underneath your usual clothes, try Mamaway’s under shirt which has openings at the center front for easy breastfeeding.

Other options include nursing camisoles.

See what fits your fancy.
