Brrrrr – Keep warm this Winter while Breastfeeding (or pregnant)

We’re coming up to another cold cold Canadian winter. This winter I’m breastfeeding and just the though of exposing any extra skin brings on a case of the goosebumps. Especially for those midnight feedings when you have to get out of your warm and cozy bed and into the chilly night air. So… how will I cope?

I’m getting some good nursing tops and sweaters that will keep that extra skin covered while breastfeeding. The great thing about a good nursing top is that, unlike a regular top, you don’t have to lift up your shirt and expose your belly and back to the chilly winter air. A nursing top has special openings that only expose the part of the breast required for breastfeeding keeping your belly and back warm and cozy.

Here is my favorite nursing top/sweater combo so far – the Double Layer Henley, then for added warmth I am wearing the Ruched Strip Hoodie over top.

For night time I am just using regular nursing pajamas, my favorite is the Lacey MJ, and then again I am wearing the Ruched Strip Hoodie over top.

As an added bonus, all of these items are good for maternity as well as for nursing so if you have a bun in the oven, you can use thse tops as well. Then when the wee one is born you can continue to use the same tops for breastfeeding.

So far I’m warm and cozy! How about you?
