You know how sometimes you wear something that the simple act of wearing changes how you feel? And you know how rare that is when you’re pregnant? Or even worse, when your post baby belly hangs just a little over those pre-pregnancy jeans?
Well, Amoralia sent me a nursing top that I am loving. It’s a nursing T-shirt which is a nice change from some of the other nursing tops I have that are very form fitting – although those are perfect for wearing under this one.
What’s great about this particular nursing blouse is that it is a shirt with a loose front panel, like a second layer to the front of the shirt, which lifts up to expose a side opening breast part, making for easy nursing. But the loose front panel hangs lightly down over the breasts and hides some of that newly post-partum belly.
It also makes for discreet breastfeeding, should you wish to be discreetly feeding without a cover. The front can either be scrunched up above the baby so as to hide some of the face, or it can actually go over the baby’s head to hide the nursing baby completely.
The material is beautifully soft and I actually feel great when wearing it.
The only negative I have to this particular item of clothing is that it’s white. I love it, it looks great, but it gets so dirty with a clambering toddler and spitting newborn! Even so, it washes well, dries quickly and doesn’t require ironing, so it’s a winner all round.

I am wearing all my old stuff, would love a new bra, but can’t really justify the cost! The cupcake style is lovely, so are the pj sets
I think I would go for the lace cami and brief set found here… http://www.amoralia.com/shop/nightwear/lace-cami-&-brief-set/cat5/prod206/
Its hard to find something cute and sexy to wear when your pregnant, this ticks all the boxes!
I love their bras! Still pretty whilst practical: Think I’d choose this one: http://www.amoralia.com/shop/nursing-bras/nougatine/cat2/prod98/ Been looking at others, but not as nice as this one!
I love frilly nursing vest. Some of the bras are gorgeous, shame they only go up to G cup. It’s difficult to find sexy nursing bras in larger sizes – I’m 38H
Two entries – FB page liked.
I like the cotton nursing tops – like the one pictured here or the orchid pleasted nursing top on the site. Might just look through the sale items and get a nursing bra too. 🙂
I would buy PJ pant

Im so looking forward to doing it all again very soon and to still feel sexy and not just lunch would be great (just been showing hubby too so thanks as will be dropping him lots of hints between now and our fourth wedding anniversary lol)
