10 beautiful nursing clothes for the sophisticated new mom

You’ve got your hands full, literally. Baby in one arm, toothbrush in the other hand, we know how it is. Your little one is a hungry one and that often means putting everything else aside for the well-being of this tiny bundle of joy. But while motherhood is about prioritizing someone else’s needs, it does not have to entail completely forgetting yourself. We’ve taken notes, and so have the following amazing brands that bring you practicality and comfort in the best way possible. Both functional and fashionable, these elegant nursing clothes bring you good taste and easy nipple-access to feel and look your best while simplifying your life, at home or on the go. To be paired with your best actual-no-make-up look, nappy and under-eye bags and, of course, the most important person in your life.
