Grey breastfeeding sweaters

Our gray "Breastfeeding sweaters " are a winter staple: a neutral, elegant color that goes with everything and hides small stains. Our " knit " sweaters and sweatshirts all feature two side zippers for easy breastfeeding—without having to expose yourself or take off your sweater.

Why choose a gray nursing sweater?

Gray is a versatile color: softer than black and more laid-back than white, it goes with almost anything. Whether it’s heather gray, charcoal gray, or light gray, it works with any outfit, from the office to days at home.

With a baby, it's also a very practical color: it does a great job of hiding small milk stains or spit-up. For other dark shades, check out our black "Breastfeeding sweaters ."

What gray models do you offer?

Several items are available in gray:

• the ALMA gray sweater, made of knit with a turtleneck, for the coldest days;
• the plain gray sweatshirt —simple and comfortable;
• Gray sweatshirts with embroidery: #MOMMY, LUCKY CHARM, and MILK;
• Depending on the season, other designs with messages are available in gray.

Prices range from about €63 to €79, depending on the model knit and customization options.

How does the opening on a nursing sweater work?

Each sweater has two zippers, one on each side of the chest. To breastfeed, simply unzip the side you’re feeding from: your baby has direct access to your breast, and the sweater stays in place without you having to lift anything.

The stomach and back remain covered, which is especially nice in winter. On some knitwear styles, such as ALMA, the openings may have slight irregularities due to the zippers sewn onto the knit ; when closed, they remain discreet.

What should I wear with a gray nursing sweater?

Gray goes with everything: raw or light-colored jeans, black pants, a skirt made of knit, but also powder pink, burgundy, camel, or mustard for a touch of color.

For the office, pair it with straight-leg pants and a white blouse that’s slightly untucked at the collar. For the weekend, pair it with jeans and white sneakers. For more ideas, check out our gray nursing clothes.

How do you customize a gray sweatshirt?

These items are made just for you: please allow a slightly longer embroidery turnaround time, and note that they cannot be exchanged or refunded. For other ideas, check out our customizableBreastfeeding sweaters .

How can I stay warm while breastfeeding?

Wear a Breastfeeding t-shirt as a base layer under your sweater: when you unzip the sweater, your stomach stays covered by the T-shirt. Since the zippers are in the same place, you unzip both layers on the same side.

A white T-shirt under a gray sweater creates a sharp, elegant contrast. For more tips, read our article on how to layer your clothes in winter while breastfeeding.

Is a gray sweater discreet enough for breastfeeding in public?

Yes. Only the side where the baby is nursing opens, and the thick fabric effectively conceals the opening: from the outside, all you see is a mother holding her baby close, with neither her stomach nor her back exposed.

Whether you're at a café, at a friend's house, or traveling, you can breastfeed without isolating yourself. For more tips, read our article on discreet breastfeeding.

Is a gray sweater appropriate for going back to work?

Yes, gray is one of the best colors for returning to the office: understated, professional, and easy to coordinate. A gray sweater over a white shirt works in almost any setting.

Thanks to the zippers, you can also pump discreetly during your break without having to change clothes. For more ideas, check out our nursing clothes for work.

What size should I choose?

Choose your usual pre-pregnancy size: our cuts accommodate postpartum body changes. If you plan to wear a layer underneath, or if you prefer loose-fitting sweaters, choose the next size up.

The product descriptions list the model's height and size, which is helpful for you to get a sense of the fit. For embroidered items, be sure to check your measurements carefully: they cannot be exchanged.

Can it be worn during pregnancy and after breastfeeding?

Yes. By choosing a size larger, our sweaters provide room for your belly during a winter of pregnancy, and then transition seamlessly to breastfeeding thanks to the zippers.

Once you've stopped breastfeeding and zipped it up, this timeless gray sweater is one you'll continue to wear every winter, long after your breastfeeding days are over.

How do you care for a gray sweater?

Wash it at 30 °C on the delicate or wool cycle, inside out with the zippers closed. A laundry bag provides even better protection for the knit.

Lay it flat to dry so it retains its shape; avoid the dryer, and never iron directly over embroidery. Specific instructions are listed 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.
