As you prepare for the arrival of your little one, don’t forget to think about your postpartum wardrobe. It’s not just about baby gear—taking care of yourself is equally important. By now, you’ve probably stocked up on diapers, selected a safe bassinet, and prepped all the baby essentials like bottles and clothes. However, it’s crucial to also consider your own comfort.
“New moms should prioritize clothing that provides support, ease of wear, and versatility,” advises Laura McKenzie, Senior Brand Executive at Maternity Apparel Co. “As a new mom, your body is undergoing significant changes. Comfortable nursing options and recovery-friendly pieces are essential. Our collection aims to help women feel like themselves while embracing their new bodies.”
Have you thought about postpartum pajamas that allow easy access for breastfeeding or pumping? You’ll definitely need a few, as things can get quite messy! Think about cozy loungewear like sweatpants or supportive leggings that are comfortable enough for home yet stylish enough for outings. You might also want a pair of supportive postpartum jeans or professional work pants for when you return to the office. And if you have any upcoming events—like a wedding or your baby’s christening—you’ll want outfits that are elegant yet comfortable.
“One essential postpartum item is a well-fitting nursing bra,” adds McKenzie. “Breast tissue can become sore and tender throughout pregnancy and into the early weeks postpartum. Wearing a properly fitted bra can prevent issues like clogged ducts and mastitis.”
Your body will undergo changes post-baby—it’s perfectly normal. Embrace this transition with the right postpartum clothing to help you look and feel fantastic. Here are some of our top picks for postpartum attire suitable for various occasions!
