For many people who choose to do so, breastfeeding can be an important part of having a newborn — and helping nourish your little one through their first year or beyond. But if you thought finding cute maternity clothes in general was tough, wait until you have to shop for breastfeeding shirts. Awkward panels, nonfunctional double straps, bulky hidden fabric, uncomfortable side zippers — the problems with nursing shirts are seemingly endless. Plus, while there are plenty of basic tank top or T-shirt options out there, finding breastfeeding blouses you'd actually want to wear out of the house is much more difficult.
The lack of breastfeeding shirts isn't just an annoyance. Having a cute breastfeeding shirt or sweater can help you feel and look great, of course, but they're meant to be functional, too, helping you no longer have to dread the logistics of breastfeeding in public. So we did some digging to find stylish breastfeeding shirts that solve many real-world breastfeeding problems. Here, our favorite picks.
