While most mamas love to doll up and get glam for the ultimate newborn photo shoot, it's shocking for them to realize that they will have to deal with constant feeds and diaper changes, and still keep looking neat, clean and sorted. Even while stepping out, feeding in public is a daunting proposition for many. With all this in mind, fashion may well be the last thing on any new mum's list. More so, when simply taking a shower or enjoying a hot meal alone can seem like a herculean task!
When breastfeeding is challenging, the postpartum period can be a very difficult time, flush with tears, hormones, and an endless desire to pull the trigger and call the whole journey off. Most women set out with high aspirations, picturing that breastfeeding will come naturally, when really, it is a learned skill with a whole host of elements that complement your journey. An important thing to remember about the early days of nursing is that the process can be made easier with a range of breastfeeding-friendly clothes and essentials. So, we've taken it upon us to curate a guide especially for you milkin' mamas, to make your journey fun, affordable, and most importantly, practical.
