What kinds of clothes/outfits did you wear (or plan to wear) postpartum? I think I have a few good basics but wondering if I should try to order anything else.
Thanks!
-
I kept wearing my maternity clothes! Once my belly went down a bit I started wearing regular clothes, but almost everything has a stretchy waist.
ETA: I'm 3.5 months postpartum and I'm wearing my maternity yoga pants right now!
-
My ass, hips and thighs spread too much for my pre-pregnancy jeans to fit yet, so I'm still wearing maternity jeans, usually with nursing tank + cardigan or low-necked shirt/sweater. I'm a SAHM at the moment, and when I'm home it's usually yoga pants (maternity and pre-pregnancy), a nursing tank and a cardigan.
-
For the first week, I lived in sweats/yoga pants/leggings and nursing tanks or nursing bras with loose t shirts over them. You will get breast milk, spit up, and nipple cream over everything so anything nice would have been wasted! Once I physically felt better, I was wearing more normal clothes (maternity or pre preg clothes) when I went out, but still changing into comfy clothes while at home.
-
Yoga pants! I'm also wearing my maternity jeans and pre-preg shirts. I'm afraid to try on my normal jeans...my tummy is much smaller, but I think my hips are bigger.
-
Yoga pants, sweat pants, PJ pants. Tank tops, nursing tops.
If I left the house, I wore yoga pants (see the theme here?) until I was able to squeeze into a pair of pre preg jeans (with the Belly band of course- those things were most definitely not zipped up but I didn't care because they weren't maternity!)
12 weeks PP, and I have been back in all my pre preg clothes for about 2 weeks now. -
Nightgowns , loose dresses , maternity clothes. But honestly for the first month I never got out of my pajamas :\
-
I wore nursing tanks, yoga pants, and button downs. Easy access to boobs was key!
Now, 8 months pp, I can kinda fit into my old jeans (they are just a lil tight) but my shirts don't fit bc my boobs are too big
-
Mostly yoga pants and tank tops. It took a while until my old clothes fit and I liked to just pull my shirt up real quick for nursing.
-
I'm planning on wearing leggings and tunic length sweatshirts with nursing tanks underneath
and loose cardigans.
-
Nursing singlets (or singlets with stretchy straps), trackpants or yoga pants and merino cardigans (or zip front sweaters).
Although I wore my pregnancy pants home from the hospital I lost all of my baby weight within a week and then they were all too big! I'm skinnier now than I was pre-pregnancy so pants with a draw-string waist are my friend (I'd also recommend pants with pockets for carting around nipple cream etc).
At night I sleep in my undies and a singlet and I have a warm dressing gown to throw on when I get up to feed LO. I've also bought some bought some nice button-through shirts to wear now that we're starting to get out and about.
-
One of the best pieces of advice I got was to buy Hanes white tees. I'm 9 weeks out and my pre-preg jeans fit.,,but fit weird and barely any tips fit.
-
Dhs cloths, my dads cloths, and maternity cloths.
-
Yoga pants and then I would wear skirts with a stretchy waist when we went out (gave birth in June). I wore maternity shirts for the probably the first couple weeks until my belly finally shrunk a little. Then I found a lot of great tops at the Ann Taylor Loft outlet that were really stretchy at the neckline, so I lived in those all summer since they were nursing friendly. I still wear them now with a cardigan over.
-
anything comfy! yoga pants, sweatpants, nursing tanks. If I went out in public I would try to squeez into my pre-preg clothes, didn't go so well.
-
Yoga pants, sweatpants, shorts, tank tops, night time nursing bras...
-
Yoga pants and shorts, nursing tanks, cotton underwear!
-
I have one pair of jeans that fit, so I wear those when going out of the house. I wear a tank top, nursing bra and cardigan most days so I can easily nurse, but still be warm. At home I'm in lounge pants all day!
-
What I wear at home now.. sweatpants and camis! I was a sweating machine for the first few weeks..
-
I found it terribly difficult dressing to accommodate nursing the first two months. I felt like my only options were nursing tank and button up shirt or cardigan. I hated going out because I had to dress in normal clothes and I found that hard.
at home I wore lots of sweats and loose shirts.
if you are nursing, invest in GOOD nursing tanks and bras. I got the cheapest stuff I could find and I think that is why I had such trouble...they were not flattering or comfortable!
