Affordable nursing wear: 5 tips to save money

The arrival of a baby requires significant logistical and financial planning. Between decorating the nursery and buying baby equipment, the budget for the mother often takes a back seat.

However, feeling beautiful and comfortable while feeding your child is essential. Finding affordable nursing wear therefore becomes a priority for many families. At 23 Mai Paris, we support mothers with affordable, high-quality clothing. Here are our 5 tips for saving money without sacrificing style or comfort.

Why invest in quality pieces rather than quantity?

It's tempting to buy lots of cheap items, but breastfeeding puts a lot of strain on fabrics. Between frequent washing (sometimes daily!), repeated use of fastenings, and potential milk stains, durability is your best friend.

The calculation that makes the difference:

• A $10 T-shirt that loses its shape after 5 washes → you buy 3 more = $30
• A $35 T-shirt that lasts throughout breastfeeding (and beyond) = $35 and a single expense

Quality is a real saving in the long term.

1. Focus on versatile basics

Rather than buying ten entry-level tops, choose three solid basics that go with everything.

The winning strategy:

• A Breastfeeding t-shirt white or ecru (timeless)
• A Breastfeeding t-shirt black (goes with everything)
• A nursing top in a color that flatters you

A Breastfeeding t-shirt tank top or Breastfeeding t-shirt can be worn under a cardigan, blazer, or jacket that you already own. At 23 Mai Paris, our designs are created to fit into your existing wardrobe, so you don't have to buy a whole new outfit.

2. Opt for clothing that can be adapted for pregnancy and breastfeeding

Innovation is a major source of savings. By choosing clothing that evolves with you, from pregnancy to postpartum and even after weaning, you can halve your budget.

The most promising evolving parts:

• Flowing dresses that can be worn during pregnancy AND while breastfeeding. Discover our Breastfeeding dresses that are versatile and adaptable.
• Stretchy tops that adapt to breast size changes
• Styles that remain stylish even without a baby bump

An inexpensive nursing garment is, above all, a garment that you will wear for a long time. Don't calculate the purchase price, but rather the cost per use.

3. Keep an eye out for promotions and private sales

Patience is key. Designer brands regularly offer promotions on models from previous seasons.

How to make sure you don't miss anything:

• Sign up for newsletters from your favorite brands
• Follow them on social media for flash sales
• Take advantage of winter and summer sales
• Keep an eye out for Black Friday and French Days

This is the perfect opportunity to treat yourself to a high-quality nursing sweatshirt at the price of a fast-fashion item. At 23 Mai Paris, we regularly offer special deals to our subscribers.

4. Adapt your current clothes with clever tricks

If you're on a tight budget, you can alter some of your loose-fitting clothes to make them breastfeeding-friendly.

The "two-layer" technique:

• A nursing tank top or bra underneath
• Your favorite sweater or shirt over the top
• You lift up your top and pull down your tank top to breastfeed.

Other tips:

• The button-down shirts you already have work very well.
• Wrap tops or wrap-around tops offer easy access.
• Dresses with buttons down the front can be used as Breastfeeding dresses

However, for going out or important occasions, investing in a dedicated top with discreet openings remains the best compromise for your comfort and peace of mind. Discover our nursing tops with discreet openings.

5. Explore quality secondhand items

The secondhand market is full of gems for savvy moms.

Where to find secondhand nursing clothes:

• Vinted, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace
• Local moms' Facebook groups
• Specialized maternity clothing sales
• Baby clothing exchanges

Our tips for buying secondhand items:

• Choose brands that are known for their durability.
• Check the condition of the openings and zippers in the photos.
• Well-maintained nursing clothing retains a good resale value.

Bonus: you can resell your own clothes after weaning and recoup part of your investment!

What to keep in mind when shopping for mom

Key points:

• Look for natural fabrics that will stand the test of time. To find out exactly what to buy, check out our article How many nursing clothes do you really need?
• The lowest price is not always the most economical to use.
• A garment that sells well further reduces your final cost.

Conclusion

Finding affordable nursing clothes simply requires a change in perspective: focus on usability and durability rather than purchase price.

At 23 Mai Paris, we believe that a stylish mom is a mom who consumes better, not necessarily more. Our nursing clothes are designed to last, with a price-quality ratio tailored to the budgets of new parents.
