Where to buy breastfeeding clothes?

Wondering where to buy nursing clothes that are both practical and stylish?

Everything is available online and delivered right to your door.

Where to buy breastfeeding clothes?

Nursing clothes are still hard to find in traditional stores, where you'll mostly find maternity clothes. The easiest option is to shop at a specialized online brand, which offers a wide selection of styles and sizes.

On our website, you'll find our entire collection in one place, complete with size guides, photos of the items being worn, and tips for each piece. To see the full collection, check out our nursing wear.

Why buy from a specialty brand?

A specialty brand designs each piece with breastfeeding in mind. At 23 Mai Paris, that means:

• an opening system designed for feedings, with two side zippers;
• styles tailored to the postpartum figure;
• a contemporary style, for clothes you'll want to wear;
• Items that can be personalized with embroidery.

You no longer have to adapt a regular piece of clothing—it's designed for breastfeeding right from the start.

What kinds of nursing clothes can you find on our website?

Our collection covers everything a nursing mom needs: solid-color, printed, or embroidered T-shirts; sweaters and sweatshirts for winter; tank tops for summer; dresses; shirts; and pajamas and nightgowns for nighttime feedings.

Prices range from about €20 to €86. For overnight stays, see our Breastfeeding night dresses.

How do our nursing clothes work?

All of our garments feature two side zippers, one on each side of the chest. To breastfeed, simply unzip the side you’ll be feeding from: your baby can access your breast without you having to lift or remove the garment.

When zipped up, the zippers blend into the seam: your garment looks like a classic T-shirt, sweater, or dress that you can wear anywhere.

How do you choose your first nursing clothes?

To get off to a good start, pack three or four T-shirts or tank tops for everyday wear, a sweater or sweatshirt for cooler days, and pajamas or a nightgown for nighttime feedings.

Start by choosing neutral colors that are easy to mix and match, then add more colorful or embroidered pieces. For affordable basics, check out our budget-friendly nursing clothes.

When should you buy your nursing clothes?

It's best to buy them during the third trimester of pregnancy: that way, you'll have them on hand for your hospital bag and those first feedings.

Many of our pieces can already be worn during the later stages of pregnancy. You can also add to your wardrobe after giving birth, once you have a better idea of your needs.

Is there a subscription?

Yes, we offer an embroidered " Breastfeeding t-shirt " subscription: every month, you'll receive a unique " Breastfeeding t-shirt "—a little surprise to treat yourself while breastfeeding.

It's also a great gift idea for a new mom. Details can be found on the subscription's product page.

Can you customize your clothes?

Yes, many designs can be embroidered: your children's first names, initials, a date, or a short message. Please specify the text on the product page when placing your order.

Embroidered items take a little longer to produce and cannot be exchanged or refunded. Check out our personalized nursing clothes.

What size should I choose online?

Choose your usual pre-pregnancy size: our designs accommodate postpartum body changes. Each product page includes a size guide and specifies the size worn by the model.

Some items, such as our tank tops, run small: this information is noted on the product page. If you're unsure, choose the next size up.

Can nursing clothes be worn after breastfeeding?

Yes. Once the zippers are zipped up, they're just like any other clothes, and you'll continue to wear them long after weaning.

That's what makes them a long-lasting purchase: you don't just put them away in a closet once you're done breastfeeding.

How do you care for your nursing clothes?

Wash your clothes at 30 °C on the delicate cycle, inside out and with zippers closed. Dry the knit flat to help it retain its shape.

Avoid using a dryer, and never iron directly over embroidery. Specific instructions are provided on each product page.

How long does it take for the clothing to be shipped?

Clothing is shipped within 48 business hours. For items with custom embroidery, please allow up to about eight business days.

What is the return policy?

You have 14 days after receipt to request a refund for an item that does not meet your expectations; exchanges are not permitted. Personalized items with embroidery cannot be returned or refunded. Please contact our customer service team in advance at bonjour@23maiparis.com.
