I have the ultimate secret (maybe I’m hyping it up too much, but I love using it…) on how to make any outfit breastfeeding friendly! Because breastfeeding is hard enough without having to worry about what you are wearing.
I learned the hard way that some breastfeeding tops are really, really ugly. I ordered a few nursing shirts with my last baby and they looked completely different on me than they did the model online. And then shirts were “meh” when it came to accessibility for breastfeeding! How lame, right?!

It sucks that I have so many clothes from in between pregnancies and pre-pregnancy, though to tell you the truth my pre-pregnancy stage was 6 years ago and I’m starting to completely purge my “pre-pregnancy” wardrobe because it’s not my style anymore. And that is okay! It’s okay to get rid of your pre-pregnancy clothes, if it’s not bringing you joy anymore!
But you’re here to find out what the secret is on how to make any outfit breastfeeding friendly! And here it is…
Nursing Camisoles!
I told you I was hyping it all up too much… but wearing a nursing camisole or tank top under any shirt helps me feel comfortable enough to lift it up and nurse while not exposing my stomach. Plus it makes the perfect amount of exposure for breastfeeding so I rarely use a nursing cover or muslin swaddle over top!
I ordered 3 of the same kind online when I was pregnant and I love them! One in white, one in black and one in grey so I had lots for coordinating with outfits.
It has made such a difference using nursing camisoles! With my 3 girls I used a Costco pack of tank tops and stretched the neckline with each of them so badly because I used them in substitution of nursing tanks. If you’re looking for a different option you can do that too, but at the end of the day I had to throw them all out as they were useless afterwards. It seemed like such a waste!
I hope you can gain some confidence with your nursing journey – you can wear non-nursing tops with nursing camisoles underneath! It’s the perfect breastfeeding trick for mamas who do not want to completely change their wardrobe to make it BF friendly.
