My post-partum uniform (for winter babies)

My friend Debra is about to have her first child. I sent her my “greatest hits” list for the baby registry, then added a couple of nursing shirts I like. Minutes later, I got her reply: “Now THIS is the stuff no one has told me about! I’m shopping for me tonight.”

It got me thinking about when my first son was born. I had all sorts of cute little onesies and swaddles, but only one crummy nursing tank and some stretched-out maternity sweatpants to wear around in the early days. That’s no good! I did much better the third time around. Here’s the outfit I kept on repeat:

• nursing sweatshirt or sweater
• insanely soft and cozy joggers
• this bra (which is great because you can nurse AND pump in it)
• “disposable” granny panties for the early days (I’m sure my husband loved these…)
• super cozy and supportive slippers (supportive soles help prevent backaches from carrying around your little one)
• sparkly studs to feel more put-together (ha!)

Mind you, I am no fashion blogger. But I do aim to optimize comfort and convenience. Enjoy 🙂
