With the birth of my most recent daughter (she’s 10 weeks old!), I recently discovered something that I really wish I knew about when I was nursing my first child 2.5 years ago: the Boob Long Sleeve Top! Sold at YummyMummy, a store on the Upper East Side of Manhattan that provides a range of products and services that support nursing moms, this style top has a double-layer fabric design over the bust, allowing for discreet and comfortable nursing.
Yummy Mummy Boob Striped Sailor Top
With my first child, part of why I never left the home for the first 3-4 months was for fear of nursing in public. Shortly before delivering my second child, a nursing friend introduced me to these style tops from YummyMummy and I stopped at the store right after I checked out of the hospital after delivering my youngest daughter. The discretion it has provided me while nursing has also provided me with a lot more freedom to leave home since I am now much more comfortable nursing in public! I highly recommend these types of tops to any nursing mom.
Note: My friend pointed out that she found the striped “sailor” tops to be more flattering than the solid colors. I agree! I’d recommend that you pay attention to the comparison if you go to the store to try them on.
Update on 2010 March 25:
I recently discovered very similar nursing tops at Momzelle.com and ordered a few (the organic fabric in black). They work just as effectively as the YummyMummy tops but are only $50 versus the $69 tops at YummyMummy. Readers of The S File may get a 10% discount if you use the discount code “SFile” at www.momzelle.com. Let me know what you think if you try them!
Note: I have not received any discount or free items from either YummyMummy or Momzelle. I just liked the nursing tops as a regular paying customer.
