Are you a breastfeeding mom on the hunt for an ugly Christmas sweater? Look no further than the quirky designs from Your Sassy Grandma, which have unexpectedly captured the hearts of nursing mothers.
In 2015, a playful yet cheeky Christmas sweater from this Etsy shop went viral, featuring all the quintessential elements of an ugly holiday sweater: glitter, kitschy details, and an amusing twist—Rudolph with a peek-a-boo cut-out for easy access. Yes, you read that right! The design allows you to pop your breast through a festive hole adorned with tinsel, while Rudolph’s antlers remain stitched onto the sweater. To complete the look, you simply apply the included red-nose pastie and googly eyes right on your chest. Voilà! The ultimate blend of humor and holiday spirit.
This year, the Rudolph sweater ($56) is back in the spotlight, gaining traction among nursing moms who see it as the ideal ugly Christmas sweater for breastfeeding. It seems mothers everywhere are tired of societal judgment and are embracing this fun, cheeky garment as a way to flaunt their breastfeeding journey. After all, practicality is key, and having easy access to breast milk makes perfect sense.
Interestingly, Sheri and Tyler Wiseman, the creators of this whimsical sweater, didn’t initially design it with breastfeeding in mind, but they love that it has found a home in the nursing community. Sheri, a mom of three and a seasoned breastfeeding advocate, does caution that the googly eyes could pose a choking hazard. “Just be careful that your baby doesn’t pop one in their mouth while feeding,” she advises.
While Sheri herself wouldn’t wear the Rudolph design while breastfeeding—she prefers a version that allows access to both breasts—she is open to the idea of creating specifically nursing-friendly designs. For now, she recommends some of their other options that provide a comfortable feeding experience.
