Postpartum & Nursing-Friendly Style

Hey, New Mamas! Welcome to The Mom Edit, and WELCOME to our world! Ahhhh…we’re guessing you found us by searching for postpartum bathing suits or nursing bras and bralettes…or maybe, in observing this…(gestures broadly) new and constantly changing body of yours, you decided it was time for some new loungewear…ahem…hello, stretchy pants.

Below you’ll find some of our favorite postpartum outfit ideas (oh, hey nursing-friendly tops), and our years of trying out all things post-baby. Between all mamas on the team, we’ve been popping out babies (ha) for 10+ years, so there’s lots of expertise here. In fact, the blog (formerly “Ain’t No Mom Jeans”) was itself birthed during my maternity and postpartum years….12 years, later, here we are. Join us, and let us know if there’s something in particular you’d like to see.

xo, Shana & Team TME
