How to Nurse in Style

Last Wednesday I had the pleasure of sharing my stylist tips on how to “Nurse in Style” for the fabulous new mommy site Momma Society. I highly recommend checking out this fun and informative site. It has much to offer for new & veteran moms. Not to mention, it is just plan darling like its creator Mandy.

However, it wouldn’t be right of me to only share my”Nursing in Style” tips with Momma Society. So, today I am sharing with you my chic readers the article I wrote for Momma Society. Read on for tips, tricks and of course shopping! xx

NURSING IN STYLE (as seen on Momma Society on Wednesday, February 18th, 2015)

You have spent the last nine months adjusting to a larger waistline, swollen feet and an aching back, but now your sweet baby is here and your body can just go back to normal. Right? Wrong. Unfortunately, you have hit a time period that can be the most frustrating and challenging of it all when it comes to your self-image.

No longer is there actually a baby in your belly, but for most of us it still looks like there is for the first couple months (or more). Then there are the boobs- huge, tender and full of milk. My goodness! You might be thinking, “What I am supposed to do with these large things that seem to have taken on a life of their own?” Not to mention, when they are not calling shots another your demanding, yet adorable newborn is.

At this point, you are either laughing, crying or are terrified, all depending on what stage of motherhood your are currently in. And while this time is challenging, it is also magical. This is why I have (by choice, of course) nursed three times and am about to do it a fourth. I can hardly wait to hold my little angel and I even look forward to nursing. It is a special bonding time between mother and baby.

However, I am going to be completely honest with you here. Nursing is a huge and not always easy commitment. For me it is very important for at least the first six months, but (especially as you have more children) it can be tough to stick with it. For some women nursing is not something they can do, or are willing to do for a multitude of reasons. However, assuming you are able, I encourage you to try doing it for at least the first few months. And remember that it only gets easier!

So, on that note, something else very important to me is my nursing style. Just because you may feel a bit like a cow (especially when using your lovely friend, the breast pump), does not mean you should dress that way. Here are several ways to look “fabulous and not frumpy” while nursing in mommy chic fashion.

With Love,

Jessica Johnson

Because it is always chic to give.  As moms we are always giving and most of the time it is not even appreciated until our children are much older (let's hope!) So it may seem challenging to give to anyone else, but we should all try no matter how little the amount or the time. Thinking outside of ourselves is good for our hearts and those of our children.
