The right wardrobe is vital for nursing on the go. A two-piece outfit with a top that can be easily pulled up or unbuttoned from the bottom for easy access is best. Also try an oversized T-shirt or sweatshirt. For women who prefer dresses, some manufacturers offer attractive designs with cleverly concealed vertical openings for quick breast access. A little extra material, like pleats or flaps, provides additional coverage once your baby has latched on.

The choice of material and design is important, too. Cotton prints are the most suitable fabrics for breastfeeding mothers. Cotton breathes, so your baby can be comfortable snuggled against it. Printed designs help to camouflage any wet spots from leaking milk.
