Breastfeeding Clothes: Your Guide to Comfortable, Stylish Nursing Tops

Breastfeeding doesn't mean you have to sacrifice your personal style. The right breastfeeding clothes can make feeding your baby easier while still looking and feeling like the clothes you would normally wear.

At Peggy Road, we design breastfeeding tops, nursing tees and breastfeeding jumpers with discreet nursing access, comfortable fabrics and everyday style in mind. Whether you're heading out for coffee, doing the school run, relaxing at home or catching up with friends, our breastfeeding clothes are designed to fit into real life.

What is a breastfeeding top?

A breastfeeding top, also known as a nursing top or nursing shirt, is designed with discreet access that allows you to breastfeed without having to completely lift your top.

There are many different styles of breastfeeding clothing available, including breastfeeding t-shirts, tank tops, long-sleeve tops, jumpers and hoodies.

At Peggy Road, our breastfeeding tops feature a discreet horizontal zip underneath the bust. Simply open the zip when it's time to feed and close it again afterwards, allowing the rest of your outfit to stay in place.

How do breastfeeding tops work?

Breastfeeding tops are designed to provide easy access to your breast while keeping you covered.

Our Peggy Road breastfeeding tees and jumpers feature discreet under-bust zips. The zip sits horizontally underneath the bust, so when closed, the top looks like a regular everyday tee or jumper.

When you're ready to breastfeed, simply open the zip for nursing access.

It's a simple detail, but one that can make a big difference when you're feeding a baby throughout the day.

What should I look for in a breastfeeding top?

When choosing breastfeeding clothes, comfort and practicality are just as important as style.

Look for:

Easy breastfeeding access

A good nursing top should allow you to access your breast quickly and easily without needing to remove or completely lift your top.

Comfortable fabric

You'll likely be wearing your breastfeeding clothes regularly, so soft, comfortable fabrics are important. Look for materials that feel good against your skin and are suitable for everyday wear.

A fit you feel good in

Breastfeeding doesn't mean you have to wear oversized or shapeless clothing. Look for styles that make you feel comfortable and confident while still giving you enough room to move and feed comfortably.

A style you'll actually wear

The best breastfeeding clothes are pieces that work with the rest of your wardrobe. A breastfeeding t-shirt should look like a t-shirt you'd happily wear whether you're breastfeeding or not.

Breastfeeding Tees vs Breastfeeding Jumpers

Different breastfeeding tops work for different parts of your day and different seasons.

Breastfeeding T-Shirts

A breastfeeding t-shirt is one of the most versatile nursing wardrobe staples.

They're easy to wear on their own during warmer weather or layer underneath a cardigan, jacket or jumper when it's cooler.

Peggy Road breastfeeding tees are available in a range of everyday styles and sizes XS–6XL, so you can find a fit that works for you.

Breastfeeding Jumpers

A breastfeeding jumper is ideal for cooler weather when you want something warm and comfortable without making breastfeeding difficult.

Our breastfeeding jumpers are designed with the same discreet nursing access, making them practical for everyday wear while keeping you warm and comfortable.

How do I choose my breastfeeding top size?

The best size depends on the individual style, fabric and fit of the garment, so always check the size guide on the individual product page before ordering.

At Peggy Road, our breastfeeding clothing ranges from XS to 6XL, with different styles available in different fits.

If you're between sizes, check the measurements provided for that particular style rather than simply choosing your usual size.

Can I wear breastfeeding clothes after I stop breastfeeding?

Absolutely.

One of the benefits of choosing a well-designed breastfeeding top is that it doesn't necessarily need to look like traditional maternity or nursing clothing.

Once you've finished breastfeeding, you can continue wearing your favourite tees and jumpers as everyday clothing. The discreet nursing access is simply there when you need it.

That's exactly what we aim for at Peggy Road - clothes that fit into your wardrobe, rather than clothes that feel like they belong to a separate breastfeeding wardrobe.
