Motherhood is a beautiful season, but you must admit it can be overwhelming too. There are a lot of changes you have to navigate. This includes a radically changing body, a busy schedule, and the immense responsibility of caring for a baby.
When you’re also breastfeeding, this can mean a fresh wardrobe too. A new mom may breastfeed between 20 minutes to two hours per session, so functional clothes that make breastfeeding easy and comfortable are essential.
That doesn’t mean you should sacrifice style, though. After all, feeling good about yourself is very important in this new life season.
Finding nursing-friendly clothes with everything you’re looking for—style, comfort, and practicality, may not be easy, but it’s possible.
You just need help. We’re happy to do that through this blog post.
Step 1: Always look for the 5 must-have nursing-friendly dress features
First, let’s settle on what features you need to look for in a stylish, comfortable, and practical nursing-friendly dress. We have five, and we’ll enumerate them below.
1. Easy nursing access
A baby may ask to be fed anytime, anywhere, so it’s a must-have feature if you want your breastfeeding journey to be easier and more comfortable. We suggest looking for discrete designs that allow you to feed your baby confidently in public places without a cover.
These can be hidden nursing zippers or functioning buttons that are thoughtfully embedded into the design. These features don’t interfere with the look yet provide access and privacy during breastfeeding sessions.
2. Adjustable fit
A woman’s body size and shape change throughout and even beyond the pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding. So look for nursing-friendly dresses you can wear throughout these phases. This can be a design with a relaxed fit, a smocked bodice, or a removable belt that accommodates a baby bump and fluid body shape.
3. Pockets
We seriously think all dresses should include pockets. They keep your busy hands free and your essentials close, which, when we’re honest, is your entire nursery room when you’re a busy mommy.
4. Flattering silhouette
Every mom deserves to feel confident and beautiful in nursing-friendly dresses. So look for designs that flatter your body and celebrate your new life season. We’re partial towards fit-and-flare and relaxed fit styles.
5. Exquisite and long-lasting quality
Updating your wardrobe with nursing-friendly dresses is an investment. So go for styles you can repeatedly wear during your breastfeeding journey and even after. Find exquisitely crafted dresses made with soft and breathable premium fabrics so you can enjoy them longer. Trust us, trends come and go, but excellent quality is forever.
Step 2: Shop for stylish, comfortable, and practical nursing-friendly dresses
Because we’re passionate about making the lives of women, especially moms, easier, we created nursing-friendly dresses that are fun, feminine, flattering, comfortable, and functional. We only use premium fabrics and work with highly-skilled seamstresses to make dresses you’d love to wear now and even pass on to the next generations.
Every dress we show you below has its advantages, so choose the one that is the most convenient for you. Follow your style and pick a nursing-friendly dress you would love to wear during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and beyond.
We categorized our nursing-friendly dresses into three groups to make navigating easier for you. We have dresses with nursing zippers, a smocked bodice, and front buttons.
Are you excited to know each one of them?
Nursing-friendly dresses with nursing zippers
Of all the signature features of a Mome dress, the hidden nursing zippers are the one we’re most excited about. We disguised them as bust darts, so they don’t interfere with the design. As a result, you get to wear elegantly styled dresses and breastfeed your baby easily and discreetly.
All the dresses you’ll find in this section have (or have the option to add) hidden nursing zippers. But, of course, if you’re not a breastfeeding momma, you can go for the version without the zippers too.

Nursing-friendly dresses with a smocked bodice
When you’re at a life season where you dance between sizes, getting a dress with a smocked bodice is practical. It stretches a few inches more, giving room for upsizing and prolonging the use of your treasured dress. So here are the nursing-friendly dresses with a smocked bodice.
Pearl Jumpsuit
Romance meets function. It is dreamy, thanks to the light organdy fabric and the carefree practicality of the loose pant legs. Perfect for dressy events where moms are likely to nurse and chase after their little ones.
Nursing-friendly dresses with front buttons
Front buttons are the most accessible nursing-friendly feature you can find in clothes. So at Mome, we made buttons the loveliest yet the most practical detail to these nursing dresses.
Tweed Dresses with font buttons
A nursing-friendly Tweed dress that doesn’t look like one. The silhouette is youthful and effortlessly chic. The functioning pearl buttons providing breastfeeding access are the cherry on top of this versatile design.
