Love it or hate it, nursing becomes almost a full time job when you have a new baby. I happen to love it, especially in the beginning. I appreciate the intimate bonding time and my body’s ability to provide everything that my new little being needs to survive at this time. It really is amazing! Now what I don’t enjoy is having to wake up frequently during the night and the strain it can also put on doing anything outside of the home. It is particularly difficult to be a nursing mom with a lot of other things going on if you refuse to nurse in public. I know for many people this is uncomfortable and at times it is for me as well. However, as I am now nursing my fourth child I have found ways to discreetly nurse while still carrying on with life. After all, I am not one to just sit at home. Plus even if I wanted to, between having three other three kids and work it just isn’t going to happen.
Here is what I am wearing right now so that I can not only easily nurse whenever needed, but I can also do it in style. Not to mention everything here is under $100 with a couple as low as $20 since no mom wants to spend a lot on clothes that could be stained at any mommy moment:) xx
Button down dresses and tops become a staple for me at this time. I rarely nurse alone as there is usually a kid or three keeping me company. At first all the kids are fascinated then it becomes old news.

I often use scarves as a way to nurse in public. In fact, I bet you can barely notice I am nursing my babe while being interviewed at Tiny Frenchy. Just look for a little head silhouette in picture two.
This was my first night out after having the baby. Not one that likes to nurse while at a dinner table (not sure who does??), but there are times it is necessary. Fortunately we were able to sit at a table tucked away in the corner and when I needed to nurse her I was able to drape her blanket across me. I am doubtful anyone even noticed.

Lastly, I love these bralettes (see link below) whether I am nursing or not. I have them in white, nude & black. I am wearing one in every photo and they truly make nursing easy. I even sleep in them.
