The stylish pieces that make life as a new mom a bit easier
Photo: Courtesy of retailer I love clothes, but I’m a lazy dresser. My go-to outfits are almost always dresses because they involve only one item to put on and are more comfortable than pants. This worked well when I was pregnant, as most of what I owned already looked like maternity wear: Sacklike, roomy, easy. But after I gave birth, I realized dressing my postpartum body was more challenging than when I had a big round belly to contend with.
But back to why I love this dress so. On a recent Saturday , we took our 5-month-old all over Brooklyn to run errands. The first stop was Red Hook. We brought sandwiches to the waterfront and had an impromptu picnic. Augie was hungry too, so I picked him up, plopped him on my lap, lifted a flap of my dress, and nursed him right there. I didn’t feel self-conscious at all, as neither my breast nor my stomach was exposed; the flaps act as a kind of shield without getting too much in my baby’s face.
I wore it to a Fourth of July house party where I fed Augie on a sofa in front of mixed company. While it was super-easy to pull the zipper down and unlatch my nursing bra, I felt a tiny bit exposed in the moment between opening the dress and getting the baby to latch. But once he was happily eating, everything was covered, and I could continue carrying on my conversation with people. I wore it to work, too, and it was also great for pumping.

Like the Elissa dress, this one grants nursing access by way of discreet zippers on either side of the pleated detail as well as via buttons. The light viscose fabric was breezy during the recent heat wave and made me feel put together.
