Nursing Shirt | Dear November Days

I’m seeing blush everywhere this season! It’s everyone’s favorite shoe, top, pair of pants, accessory, and bag. And I have to say…I’m in that crowd. It’s such a sweet color and it’s a great neutral. Blush is such a nice change from the winter black (not that spring is taking my black from me), and a better transition color than just tan.

I can’t think of one skin tone that it doesn’t compliment and look good on. And this zipper blouse from Pink Blush is a great staple piece to start with. It’s nice and relaxed, so you can pair it with any bottom…and for you nursing moms, the zipper makes nursing your babe easy! That’s always something I’m looking for in tops now.

A zipper detail is always one of my favorite things on clothing. Whether its a large zipper on the back of the dress, side zips on skinny ankle jeans, or a small zipper on my top. It just adds a little bit of chic to your outfit.

You may be seeing this top more than you want to in my spring wardrobe. It’s so soft and light weight. I just hope our spring weather comes back soon! I am glad to be in the south so that the snow we got this week melted by the afternoon. All you northerners had to deal with FEET of snow. Yikes! Maybe you just need to wear some blush to feel like it’s springtime…or drink some rosé in your rose colored glasses!

I paired this top with some crisp white Joe’s Jeans and some wedges. The perfect spring outfit. I even stayed comfortable pushing our new Baby Jogger double stroller around without breaking a sweat (it could be because the winter winds started coming in, but I’m going to attribute it to the stretch in all the fabrics, and ease of the stroller of course)! Review of the stroller coming soon and why we chose it!

Hazel’s carseat is all snuggled in my favorite carseat cover from Trendy Treehouse. So many fabrics to choose from to customize it for you and your sweet babe.

When I first had Hallen, I was super nervous to nurse in public. I mean…when you’re a first time mom, you never know what the heck you’re doing. You especially don’t know what you’re doing when you’re trying to hide under a cover, lift your shirt up discretely, and make your newborn with a bobble head try to nurse. I had so much anxiety! I don’t think I nursed in public for AT LEAST two months. A couple months in, I found my favorite thing ever! The Undercover Mama tank. I bought three of them after I fell in love. It’s basically a tube top that has a little hook and loop to attach to your bra. You wear it under your top so that when you lift your top up to nurse, your tummy is still covered, and you hardly show anything. It doesn’t even look like you’re nursing once your little one latches on.

This time around, I was lucky enough to be able to try another one of Undercover Mama’s products…their nursing shirt. It’s a cute and simple stripe. It has the same hook and look to attach to your bra, and then you lift a panel of the top to nurse! Super simple, and if you feel comfortable enough, you don’t even need a cover. It’ll look like you’re just cuddling your sweet baby.

You never know when or where you’ll be nursing (pulling over on the side of the road is reality with a newborn…hence nursing in a field ha)! And this is seriously the most simple way to feed your baby as quick as possible. There’s no fuss, and you know as well as I do that when your sweet baby starts wailing, you want to start nursing ASAP!!

It’s also a really flattering cut for any shape…while you’re pregnant and postpartum. The bodice isn’t clingy, and the sleeve length is perfect!

When I had Hazel, I instantly felt more comfortable right at the beginning nursing her, because I’d done it before, but I’d never been comfortable without a cover. Now, when I wear this shirt, I don’t feel like I need to cover. I feel like I’m already being discrete enough. And although I do want women to feel like they can nurse anywhere, however they want to. I don’t care if you’re using a cover or taking your whole shirt off to feed your baby…I like to be somewhat covered. I don’t want everyone seeing my stuff. That’s what makes this shirt perfect.
