]]>”Nu börjar jag bli galen på att ha på mig kläder som är knorriga att amma i och har därför mer aktivt börjat leta efter mer amningskläder. Jag vill ha funktion men utan att behöva tumma för mycket på stilen.”
”Denna klänningen från Mama Basics har snabbt blivit en favorit som jag kommer använda ofta =) Den är superskön samtidigt som den ser snygg ut.”
As Linda says, Mama Basics are really soft and wearable and make breastfeeding as easy as possible, in the most stylish of ways. That’s why we love seeing them being worn!
Check out Linda’s post here.
We would love to see you in your Mama Basics tops and dresses! No models need apply 😊 Send us any photos or tag us on FB/Instagram and have 20% off for you or a friend. You don’t need your face showing if you don’t want to – we know what it is like with a baby!
]]>Often the answer to that is because you need a vest on to be able to feed easily and discreetly. Then there is the question of a flat tummy (who does have a flat tummy after giving birth??!).
Not any longer!
We have designed three fabulous dresses for easy feeding access while you look super. They are close-fitting but stretch around the middle, making them (and you) look up-to-date with fashion but, when you sit down to feed, they are still super-comfy. They even offer some support, tucking your tummy in a little to help you feel like you did before baby arrived.
Feeding access is, as all Mama Basics’ pieces, a double layer of soft cotton so you can start nursing without any fuss and keep the area around your shoulder and throat nice and warm and out of sight.
Check them out:
Knee high dress with skirt in eco leather and top in soft off-white cotton. This dress is a real winner! You can wear it during the day, at night, for a party or any occasion, as it is easy to dress it up or down. The skirt also helps keep your tummy in check, in case you could do with a little help. You will look fantastic and people will not believe that it is a nursing dress. It is even machine-washable at 30 degrees. 899 kr |

Priority one - a great nursing bra or three. For the first few weeks, pick anything that is comfortable and has plenty of space in it. You will need to get fitted again after baby is six weeks old so find your size for the next 6-9 months at least.
Next, a top with great access. Here some great nursing tops from us and some alternatives on the market this autumn:
Mama Basics double layer nursing top – 499 kr
Mama Basics double layer nursing top in soft cotton with a bit of stretch allows you to breastfeed easily while being discreet and, most importantly, comfortable.
We love the ease of double layer nursing tops because, although there are other options, such as zips, poppers, clips and wraps, the two layers make it very easy to get feeding started and keeps the top area of your skin covered – warm and out of sight!
Here are some other breastfeeding tops available this autumn:
Sweatshirt from BOOBDESIGN 599 kr | ¾ sleeved nursing top from MAMALICIOUS 449,95 kr | Layered tank top from LOVE COMMA $68.00 |

Lastly, wearing necklaces while feeding isn’t the easiest thing to do. Some people manage but hitting baby in the face with a bit of dangly stuff soon stopped us from bothering! An accessory or two can help you feel a bit more sparkly in this same-clothes-each-day period so what is the solution?
Nicole Balch from blog Making It Lovely points out that you may be checking the time regularly, especially with baby number one, so getting a pretty watch is the best accessory you can have. We thought that sounded like great advice!
We could continue with more ideas but you probably won’t have the time or energy to organise anything else. The best advice we have is to:
Smart nursing fashion is out there – get some great pieces then focus on feeding and enjoying your small bundle(s) of joy!
