Namastè!
Ah, may 2017 be ever prosperous.
Happy New Year!
I am one happy mama today. Feeling stylish too!
Reason? My Milk Nursingwear nursing top. This beautiful, comfortable, functional top is my favorite thing to wear right now.
Note: This is a sponsored post concerning a product I received for free in exchange for my honest feedback. While the top is sponsored, my opinions are mine and mine alone.
Shirts don't generally equal happiness BUT hear me out. You see, right this minute, some mommy is wearing two shirts. She's not cold. She just hasn't found a nursing top she likes. So she buys whatever regular top she likes in a larger size than regular and layers a camisole under it, along with her nursing bra.
That doesn't seem like a big deal...but it was my daily routine for a very long time. Baby Namastè was born in February, which wasn't so bad. But summer 2016 was hot and brutal--and I was layering my tops.
Then I found out about Milk Nursingwear.
I received the empire scoop nursing top, in "berry." This top is so soft. It isn't frumpy at all. (An ongoing issue for me regarding nursing tops has been that they look like maternity tops OR they aren't my style--I didn't want either of those looks!) I am generally a jeans and tee type chick. I like yoga pants and leggings are my whole world. My wardrobe is either very casual or very formal, depending on if I am having out at home or on-site doing human resources things.
My Milk nursing top feels like a baby blanket against my skin. It is so soft, and it's so breathable. I especially like the color--it is a rich shade of deep fuschia, almost purple-y pink. It goes perfectly with my favorite jeans BUT I have also paired it with trousers and a blazer for a dressier feel. It is just shy of tunic length.
Brass tacks.
This top is a lifesaver. While I feel exactly zero qualms about nursing in public (or private...or Peachtree Corners...or Purgatory if it came down to it...), I do prefer to not have to raise my top over my head or stretch the neck of it.
My Milk Nursingwear nursing top eliminates the need for either scenario. The top features a discreet opening right at the waist. Essentially a trap door for baby to get at the b'reservoirs, post haste! As there's no need to raise the top, all I wear underneath is my nursing bra. (The top is definitively supportive enough for brave souls who skip the brassiere, however I am not so brave. I fear wardrobe malfunctions and avoid them diligently, ever since that day...*stares off into the distance with a pained expression*...)
See? Zero b'reservoir flashage.
The opening makes for easy access, and I have mastered the art of the old single-handed one-two feeder. (I just flip the top up just enough to open my bra, then let baby latch. It's a two-second, discreet maneuver that most won't even notice until they realize the baby is now nursing.
For the most part the nursing top eliminates the need for a cover, because nothing is exposed. You don't have to pull out the entire b'reservoir to let baby latch. I'm not a shy mama at all, yet the idea of taking care of the baby's need to eat without drawing too much attention to that fact is more than appealing. I'm all for normalizing BUT for me that just means going about my day with my little nursling, as comfortable as possible, not making a huge deal.
Minus the smirk of honey-dos long forgotten, I love this pic.
This top is versatile as can be. I wear it with my favorite jeans usually, but it can be dressed up as well. It washes wonderfully--no fading or pilling. The fabric is high quality. It is as soft today (after 3 washes) as it was the day I opened it. The color is as vibrant as day one also.
I can't help but strike a pose ever so often in this top. It's just so comfy and pretty.
I'll be giving away a Milk Nursingwear top to one lucky nursing mama, but in the meantime go here to see all their beautiful, fashionable tops and dresses.
