I have some dresses that can be pulled down or with an opening. I slowly built up my wardrobe with bf-friendly clothes.</p> <p>Now he's just weaned, so I'm strangely liberated to wear whatever without worry about access. (Except now I'm pregnant and nothing fits! lol) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfpumping-moms-do-you-wear-dresses#post-427625 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 07:06:59 +0000 matador84 427625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only things I can pull down easily!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfpumping-moms-do-you-wear-dresses#post-427605 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 06:13:50 +0000 London Mama 427605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes but only with buttons so I can BF without stripping off. Love dresses, so comfy and easy to pull on in the mornings. Plus it makes me feel more dressy and like I mad an effort! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfpumping-moms-do-you-wear-dresses#post-418880 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 10:51:11 +0000 mamabolt 418880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear dresses to work while pumping, some of them I can pull down but some I just have to lift up, I usually drape a scarf across my lap to stay warm! But I never wear dresses on the weekend/evening if I can't BF easily in them. I guess my thought is pumping I do in private anyway, so I don't care if I have to get half naked, but since I'll BF in public I need something less crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfpumping-moms-do-you-wear-dresses#post-418866 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 10:47:11 +0000 T-Mom 418866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was able to wear wrap style dresses while pumping at work. I would wear a cami underneath and pull that up while pumping. It was pretty convenient. But that was the only style dress I could make work. I also wore skirt/top combos with a button front top. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfpumping-moms-do-you-wear-dresses#post-418763 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 10:20:35 +0000 mediagirl 418763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: I can't pull it down so I'm sitting here with my dress around my neck. Awesome. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfpumping-moms-do-you-wear-dresses#post-418752 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 10:17:42 +0000 rachiecakes 418752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I'll never forget the day I went to work and tried to pump wearing a dress! I ended up stuffing the horns down the neck, haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfpumping-moms-do-you-wear-dresses#post-418741 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 10:12:49 +0000 Bluebonnet 418741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>While on maternity leave (summer) I wore a few dresses that were streatchy enough to wear and BF. I've worn dresses to weddings or other special occasions, but I didn't get dressed until after I've pumped, and took off the dress as soon at it was time to pump again.</p> <p>There is no way I could wear a dress to work because I'd have to completely undress to pump and I'm just not comfortable doing that at work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfpumping-moms-do-you-wear-dresses#post-418726 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 10:09:13 +0000 autumnlove 418726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did once and I hated sitting in my underwear in the pumping room! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfpumping-moms-do-you-wear-dresses#post-418722 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 10:08:17 +0000 littlek 418722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried once and I pretty much had to strip when I pumped, which was really uncomfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfpumping-moms-do-you-wear-dresses#post-418686 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 10:00:08 +0000 Weagle 418686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do if I can either pull them down or if I wear leggings. I wore one to church this Sunday and wore maternity leggings so I would be more covered when I had to nurse her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfpumping-moms-do-you-wear-dresses#post-418653 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 09:47:21 +0000 T.H.O.U. 418653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I wasn't able to wear dresses for a year. Occasionally, I would wear a wrap dress that was easy enough to pull down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfpumping-moms-do-you-wear-dresses#post-418646 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 09:45:13 +0000 plaidpants 418646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I never wear dresses anymore. And I really LOVE my dresses. I hate looking in the closet and not being able to wear 60% of what's in there. LO is 11 months old and I never thought I'd BF for this long! I'm starting to get antsy to reclaim my wardrobe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfpumping-moms-do-you-wear-dresses#post-418632 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 09:38:54 +0000 mediagirl 418632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore a sweater dress to work today. I love how it fits and feels but OMG what a PITA for breastfeeding (I had to breastfeed at daycare this morning) and pumping!! I am so glad I was wearing black leggings with my dress today so I wasn't showing everything...</p> <p>If you are pumping or breastfeeding, do you wear dresses? </p>
