What is a nursing sweater made of warm " knit "?

This is a thick, cozy knit sweater designed for the colder months, with a zipper opening on each side of the chest. To breastfeed, simply open the side you’re feeding from—your stomach and back remain covered.

The " knit " has that cozy feel we look for in winter, while still looking put-together. The exact composition of each sweater is listed on its product page. For other warm styles, check out our warm" Breastfeeding sweaters ."

What models are included in this selection?

How does the opening work in a " knit "?

Each sweater has two zippers sewn onto the knit fabric, one on each side of the chest. You open the one on the feeding side: this allows the baby to access the breast while the rest of the sweater stays in place.

Since the zippers are sewn onto knit, the openings may have slight irregularities, which are normal for knit fabric. When closed, they blend seamlessly into the knit.

How can I stay warm while breastfeeding?

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

A coat draped over your shoulders like a shawl provides extra protection. For all our tips, read our article “Breastfeeding in Winter: Staying Warm During Feedings.”

Which neck warmer should you choose to stay really warm?

The funnel neck (ALMA) sits on the neck and replaces a scarf; the zippered trucker collar (CHIARA) can be adjusted depending on the temperature; the round neck (ASSIA, COSSIMA, EMMA) is the most versatile.

For outings in very cold weather, opt for a turtleneck or a trucker-style sweater; for the office, choose a crew neck. Check out our nursing clothes for very cold weather.

What should you wear with a " knit " sweater?

knit s pairs well with straight-leg jeans and ankle boots, flowing pants for the office, or a midi skirt with tights. A shirt with the collar peeking out adds a fresh touch.

Is a " knit " sweater appropriate to wear in public?

Yes. The thick fabric knit effectively conceals the opening, and only the side where the baby is nursing opens: from the outside, all you see is a mother holding her baby close.

What size should I choose?

Choose your usual pre-pregnancy size. If you plan to wear a layer underneath, or if you like loose-fitting sweaters, choose the next size up.

The product pages list the model's height and size, which is helpful for getting your bearings.

Can it be worn during pregnancy and after breastfeeding?

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

Once they've been broken in and the zippers are zipped up, these are timeless sweaters you'll wear every winter.

How do you care for a sweater made of " knit "?

Follow the instructions on the product label. In general, wash at 30 °C on the delicate or wool cycle, inside out with zippers closed, ideally in a laundry bag.

Dry flat to help the " knit " retain its shape, and avoid the dryer, which can cause it to felt.
