Most of mine aren't appropriate but a few that are have necklines where you can pull one side apart a bit for feeding (with a cloth or cardi over the top if necessary)</p> <p><a href="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm234/anneinoz/100_6082.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i297.photobucket.com/al.....0_6082.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm234/anneinoz/dress/dress4.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i297.photobucket.com/al.....dress4.jpg</a> (not a super picture with regard to layering and shoes but hopefully neckine is showing)</p> <p>It is harder to wear dresses at first when they are little and need encouragement to attach etc - easier when a quick flash of nipple is all they need!<br /> Nursing dresses seem rather pricy, in my experience </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-post-partum-fashion#post-50040 Mon, 16 Feb 2009 01:59:08 +0000 kh 50040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm reading in posts here that dresses are great post-partum. I'm kind of scratching my head. Those of you wearing dresses are you nursing? I find that it is very difficult to find a nurse-in-public friendly dress unless you buy a nursing dress specifically. </p> <p>What kind if dress can I nurse in while still being discrete? I'm a veteran breastfeeder, but I have not worn many dresses since I had children because I simply stopped trying to find dresses I could nurse in. </p> <p>agrace,<br /> Your baby is just a couple weeks younger than mine. I finally went out and bought three pants that fit me now. For those three pants I spent $60 total. It makes me feel so much better to have pants that fit. If I loose more weight perhaps I'll have these pants taken in. </p> <p>I'm looking for a wrap skirt, but haven't found one yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-post-partum-fashion#post-50022 Mon, 16 Feb 2009 00:49:15 +0000 anne 50022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi,<br /> Read this post a couple of hours ago but couldn't comment as I was breastfeeding!<br /> Anyway welcome to the forum; there are lots of Mums here.

I am approximately 10 weeks postpartum after birth of second baby. I have probably 10 lbs left to lose but I also know that after two babies my actual shape has changed (hips a bit wider, etc etc - I'll spare you all the details!) </p> <p>I currently stay at home with my two children but do a variety of activities for which I prefer to look polished. I've read your posts for stay at home mom fashion and those were most helpful. </p> <p>I guess my fashion question is two fold: First, what would you advise I purchase or find in my closet to wear as I am continuing to lose weight and tone?<br /> Secondly, any additonal advice you can lend on how to look polished while doing the very cliche sounding trips to the playground, library, market, etc etc., would be most appreciated. </p> <p>Thank you much! </p>
