How do I find a basic nursing top in the right size?

The golden rule is simple: stick to your usual pre-pregnancy size. Basic nursing tops are designed with enough stretch to naturally accommodate your changing body shape, so you don’t need to buy several sizes ahead of time.

If you're torn between two sizes, always go for the larger one: you'll have more freedom of movement and greater comfort in the long run, and the garment will still be wearable long after weaning. The goal is a simple, comfortable fit—not a top that feels tight or constricting.

Between outings with the baby, get-togethers with friends, and busy days, having simple, practical, and timeless tops on hand is a real asset. Most moms continue to wear them long after weaning, as these pieces are so hard to replace in their daily lives.

What precautions should you take to care for your basic nursing tops?

To ensure your basic nursing tops stay looking neat and retain their shape wash after wash, opt for a gentle wash. A 30°C wash on the delicate cycle is more than enough to clean the fabrics while preserving their color, elasticity, and shape over time.
