I thought a lot about what I was going to wear for my postpartum outfit when we brought the baby home from the hospital. I wanted to feel like a human and get dressed, but still be as comfortable as possible. If I’m wearing ratty pjs all day long for weeks, then I know I won’t feel like myself. And that’s heading towards the depression danger zone!

So in anticipation of Sidney’s arrival, I started collecting loungewear and putting my favorite cozies in the front of my closet. I honed in on soft fabrics for my recovering body that will still be appropriate if we want to get some fresh air and go out for a walk with the stroller. I also tried to focus on pieces that are nursing-friendly, just to make my life easier.

Side note: I figured out a new way to format posts and I’m super excited about it! Let me know what you think 🙂

POSTPARTUM OUTFIT IDEAS

Comfortable Dresses

I’ll be living in soft, comfy dresses like this one. Terry is one of my favorite fabrics! A low neckline is ideal to make it easy to nurse; no one wants to be flipping their dress up to for feeding time, LOL. I love the gray, and I’m about to order a second one in pink, too. It’ll be really cute belted and with booties in the fall!

Button-Down Pajamas

With all the hormones raging through my body, I’ll be reaching for lightweight pajamas to stave off hot flashes at night. The button down top makes it so much easier to nurse at night, and the soft fabric feels so good on my recovering body/achy nipples. I prefer the darker colors in case I leak at night. I also have this nightgown in 2 colors.

Clip-Up Nursing Tanks & Bras

I shopped around for good nursing tanks and found that these are inexpensive and effective. They have a built in shelf-bra for a bit of support, and the clip down feature for easy nursing access. I like to wear them to sleep (milk-filled boobs can be heavy and might need some support) and for lounging around during the day. This nesting days twist top pairs really well over the tanks, as well as my vast collection of kimonos! I also really like these nursing bras, which have the same clip-up concept.

Cozy Joggers

I need something soft and stretchy to accommodate for my contracting uterus. And I also want to be comfortable if I take a quick nap while Sidney sleeps! When you leave the hospital, you still look about 6 months pregnant, but your uterus slowly contracts every day. So stretchy and comfortable is key. My photographer, Michelle, told me about these joggers, and I immediately ordered them in black and green!

Sneakers

For the first six weeks after giving birth, I’m not allowed to do any intense exercise or lifting. The most I can do is walk, which will be a great way to get out of the house together and catch some fresh air. I ordered these cute sneakers in a color that will go with everything!

Shop >

Soft V-Neck Tees

These have always been my favorite t-shirts because they are soft and light. I ordered white and navy blue in a size bigger than I usually wear to be comfortable while lounging with baby Sidney around the house. They go really well with joggers and leggings! I like the mint green color, too.

Henley & Botton Down Styles

Sorry to sound like a broken record, but the button down style makes it so much easier for nursing. This waffle-knit jumpsuit was a Nordstrom Sale find, but it is still available in both colors! I love the soft fabric and the wide leg detail! This is the jumpsuit I was wearing when we took our long walk before I went into labor!

Flowy Maxi Dresses

My in-laws sent met this dress as a gift shortly before Sidney was born. Even though I just gave birth, it felt really good to get out of pajamas and put on something beautiful. It made me feel human! I definitely recommend getting a nursing-friendly dress like this one for the rare postpartum days when you want to feel more put together.

I certainly have other loungewear, but these pieces have been my favorites so far.

I think these are the last photos that I took with a baby bump! I might have a few more bump photos. It’s so crazy to think that what was in my belly in these photos is now in my arms! I seriously prefer it that way!

    I can agree with all the comfy clothes after birth! It’s totally what I lived off of too when we brought my son home from the hospital. I love this waffle knit jumpsuit but I am probably biased as I am obsessed with anything of this style! I hope you and baby are doing well and happy Wednesday!

    You look great it this jumpsuit! This is such a delicate time. To find balance between feeling pretty, feminine and some version of your old self, and also to embrace the new you and your new situation which does require both comfort and functional clothing. You have options above that do both and that’s wonderful! Love this post.

    You got this girl! Button down is the way to go and the first few months it’s nice to balance the need to feel human, pretty and like some version of your old self but also embracing the new version of your life as it is right now, and that requires comfort and easiness. 🙂 I can’t wait to see you styling that jumpsuit.

    I still live in my comfy stretchy basics that I loved in pregnancy and postpartum, haha! Elastic waist maxi skirts are the best! 🙂

    Thank you for the link up!

    Hope that you had a great weekend! I had a fun night out with some Insta friends in Brisbane which was awesome 🙂
