let me just open your eyes for a hot second — if you have been raw-doggin’ it with the clothes that you have during pregnancy and pumping, like LOVE THAT. i am a thrifting girl at heart, my mom almost made me and my siblings grow up at the thrift store for our “new” clothes. it’s literally in my DNA cuz i loooove a good thrift and a unique find!!!
BUT if you’ve never experienced pregnancy and pumping friendly clothes? OMG HOLY GAME-CHANGER.
i am a girl on a budget. BUT i’m also a girl that invests in the products that will make my life so much easier. cuz we are not working harder to simply exist in life!!!
***please note that some of these links have affiliates, and i do get a small kickback if you order anything through my individual link! THANK YOU because this helps me continue to give you pumping and breastfeeding content and support this community!!!
4 WORTH THE HYPE PREGNANCY, NURSING + PUMPING FRIENDLY CLOTHING STAPLES FOR YOUR CLOSET
MLM BRAND — https://mlmbrand.com/ | use code BETHANYB10 for 10% off!
i’m currently 8 months pregnant, and i’ve been wearing my “little breastfeeding top” religiously for MONTHS. it is not only unbelievably comfortable and soft, but it also is still fitting over my growing belly without a problem! it’s been such an easy “yes” when finding clothing that fits me is questionable. the cut is is nursing and pumping friendly
MOVEMAMA — https://movemamaapparel.com/
these are not only some of the SOFTEST sweatshirts i’ve ever worn, but how freaking easy they are to pump in while being discrete? like 1000 votes in my book! there seriously is a way to pump without revealing your entire boobie to the world (i literally couldn’t care, but it is so important to have these options available. these shirts are still a little short for my pregnant belly, so definitely a good idea to layer your shirts to your comfort level! but absolute A+ for nursing and pumping

this brand is more pumping (than nursing) friendly especially, but the way that i’ve been able to use my Journey dress and Tank in so many areas of my pumping and now pregnancy changing body has been so encouraging! stretchy fabrics, dress fit that compliments (or hides, however you choose to look at this) a postpartum or pregnant growing body. my favorite trick is to top off my Journey dress with a scarf or swaddle blanket (this can double as a pumping cover) and a sweater for the perfect “look”!!!
DAVIN AND ADLEY — www.davinandadley.com | use code BETHANYBOU for 10% off
i’ve already been 100% LIVING in these pumping and nursing bras already the last 8 months of pregnancy — like they are first and favorite bras to pull out of the clean laundry bin! and the plan is to spend our immediate hours postpartum in my Amelia bra. not only is it supportive for both nursing and pumping, but the crop top allows for an almost “shirt” like wear, which is my favorite kinda style. throw a sweater over it? and BOOM, pregnancy and postpartum staple in your wardrobe!!!
