Wrap/crossover
Fast and flexible — often works during pregnancy too.
Nursing clothes • daily life • out & about
Nursing clothes for everyday life (and workouts)
Nursing clothes are about openings + layers + fabric — so you can feed without getting cold or fully undressing.
Openings that work in real life
Pick what’s easy when you’re tired.
Hidden panel
Looks like a normal top and offers coverage in public.
Zips/buttons
Great for hoodies/jackets. Check one-hand usability.
When you’re out and about
Tracking patterns can make it easier to pick outfits for the day.

A simple capsule wardrobe (5–8 pieces)
Fewer items that mix well — and survive frequent washing.
Suggestion
- 2–3 nursing tops
- 1 nursing-friendly dress/long sweater
- 1 cardigan/overshirt for layering
- 1 soft pant/leggings
- 1 warm layer (wool/fleece)
Fabric + fit
- Stretchy without squeezing
- Not see-through when stretched
- Soft seams under arms/bust
- Easy-care
Workouts in nursing clothes
Support and access beat “perfect outfits”.
Practical
- Tops with zips/panels often work best
- Technical fabrics if you sweat
- Bring a spare top
Leak management
- Darker colors can feel safer
- Pads that stay put
- Change after training if you get cold
Make workout logistics easier
Many parents use Plumpy to time a feed before training for better comfort.
