Motherhood: Nursing Wear Idea

After becoming a total breastfeeding mum, I realised that I need to revamp/reinvent my wardrobe! Does this feel like a familiar situation to mummies who direct latch? 

Some might think that this is the perfect reason (or excuse) to go shopping. I think so too :p But personally, I want to minimise my spendings on nursing wear to stretch my dollar. 

In case you are wondering, I have regained my pre-pregnancy figure. The reason for me not being able to wear some pieces as I would used to is because they do not facilitate nursing. Here are 2 photos of such pieces:

My solution? I did buy a couple of nursing wears (mostly for formal occasions), but I try to reinvent my wardrobe where possible.

I am sure a lot of nursing mummies out there also reinvent their wardrobe. So, my reinvention might ring a bell to you. Anyway (apologies for the unglamorous shots), this is what I do with my stretchable T-shirts and tank tops/tube tops/spaghetti strap tops/camisoles:

As you can see, my T-shirt doubled-up as my nursing cover (one less thing to bring around!). The one great thing about this "nursing cover" is that your baby cannot flip it away and expose you while doing it ;) You can either cover just your baby's head, or even include her arm (See Nursing in progress 1 and 2 photos above respectively). When nursing, just pull down the neck hole of the tank top/tube top/spaghetti strap top/camisole and adjust your bra to allow your baby access. 

Do take note to choose T-shirts which do not trap too much heat unless you are going to be in a colder environment. Else, your baby will feel very hot being inside the T-shirt! By the way, you can see your baby through the neck hole of the T-shirt :) 

How do you reinvent your wardrobe? Hope you find this idea useful :) Happy nursing :)
