1.
Hunt through the maternity section of a major department store
or a discount fashion store. You'll probably find a small selection of
practical, comfortable nursing wear.
2.
Make your own nursing clothes. Most major pattern companies
offer some nursing-wear patterns.
3.
Convert a regular pattern into a nursing pattern by
adding openings for nursing.
4.
Shop through mail-order catalogs or online. Many online
companies offer nursing clothes, including a number of companies that
will make custom outfits or even matching outfits for mother and baby.
5.
If you plan to have more than one child or to nurse for
an extended period, choose nursing clothes in classic styles and
accessorize them in different ways.
6.
Older babies may tug at your clothes or even lift your shirt
while you nurse. Wear a bright, sturdy necklace of nontoxic beads or
hold a small toy. Most babies will be happy to fiddle with these items
instead of your clothing.
