Sacrificing fashion for function. It's what all mothers have to do, right?

Well fortunately, not always. Boob Maternity helped break those stereotypes during my pregnancy with their fabulously fashionable (and comfortable) maternity line and they're doing it again with their flattering collection of Boob Nursing Wear.

All of their nursing dresses and tops have an innovative design using a double layer of fabric across the bust line. This enables you to nurse comfortably and discreetly at the same time. The opening is easily accessed with just one hand and there are no clips, clasps, bottons or clumsy ties to deal with. Ahh, sweet simplicity! Because if there is anything I could use more of these days it's simplicity (and an extra pair of hands.)

If you are nursing right now, or know someone who is, you really must try their Warmer Nursing Top. It is fabulous! So comfortable, so simple, so warm, so perfect... and did I mention slimming! It is a black, long-sleeved top with a grey, fleece-lined front panel to keep 'the girls' nice and warm. It has been my most worn post-pregnancy shirt. When I wore it out with some black sweatpants people actually thought I'd already lost the baby weight (ha ha ha.) Good thing for that front panel, because if I'd had to lift up the shirt and bare my tummy to breastfeed, they would have plainly seen that that is definitely NOT the case.

Next, I'm hoping to try one of the nursing dresses so that maybe I can actually wear a dress to church and not have to get completely undressed to breastfeed. That tends to make people a bit uncomfortable. Go figure.
