Christmas breastfeeding sweaters

For the holiday season, our Christmas "Breastfeeding sweaters " combine festive spirit with practicality: cozy knits, seasonal colors, and sweatshirts with slogans—all featuring two side zippers so you can breastfeed during family meals without leaving the table or exposing yourself.

What is a Christmas nursing sweater?

This is a nursing sweater perfect for the holidays: a warm style, available in seasonal colors (red, burgundy, ecru, green) or with a festive detail like a heart or gold buttons, featuring a zipper opening on each side of the chest.

It lets you enjoy your Christmas meal without worrying about the next feeding: you can breastfeed in the living room or at the table, discreetly, without leaving the party. For more ideas, check out our festive" Breastfeeding sweaters ."

Which styles should you choose for the holidays?

Several pieces in the collection are particularly well-suited for the holidays:

• the RED HEART sweater, with its red heart—very festive;
• the burgundy LOU sweater, a warm and elegant color;
• the COSSIMA sweater, made of knit with gold buttons on the sleeves;
• sweatshirts with slogans (HEARTS, LOVE CLUB, LOVE) for a more laid-back look;
• Embroidered designs like #MOMMY, which can be personalized for a first family celebration.

Prices range from about €65 to €81. These knitwear items are often produced in limited quantities, so it's best to order early for the holidays.

How can I breastfeed during Christmas dinner?

With a sweater that has a side zipper, you can breastfeed at the table: just unzip the side where you’re feeding, let your baby latch on, and the rest of the sweater stays in place. No need to go off to a separate room while everyone else is at the table.

If you'd like, sit down in a comfortable chair near the living room and drape a blanket over your shoulder. For more ideas, read our article on discreet breastfeeding.

What should you wear for Christmas if you're breastfeeding?

For a festive meal, go for a cozy, knit sweater paired with a knit skirt or flowing pants, and ankle boots. Add some gold jewelry for a festive touch.

How does the opening on a nursing sweater work?

Each sweater has two zippers, one on each side of the chest. You can open the one on the feeding side with one hand, while holding your baby with the other arm.

Once you're done nursing, you can zip it back up in a second and get back to the party. On the knit, the zippers blend seamlessly into the knit fabric.

Is a nursing sweater a good idea for a Christmas gift?

Yes, it's a practical and thoughtful Christmas gift for a new mom: she'll wear it every day this winter. A design embroidered with the baby's first name makes it a keepsake of the baby's first holiday.

If you don't know their size, a gift card is a good alternative. For more ideas, check out our Christmas gift ideas.

Is it okay to give a sweater to a pregnant woman for Christmas?

Yes. Our sweaters and sweatshirts have a comfortable fit that leaves room for your belly, especially if you go up a size. An expectant mother can wear them at Christmas and then while breastfeeding.

This is a gift she'll enjoy both before and after the birth. See also our gifts for expectant mothers.

How can you stay warm during the holidays?

Wear a Breastfeeding t-shirt as a base layer under your sweater: when you unzip the sweater, your stomach stays covered. If you go out, add a coat that’s easy to open.

For more tips, read our article on how to layer up in winter while breastfeeding.

What size should I choose?

Choose your usual pre-pregnancy size. After a hearty holiday meal, a slightly loose-fitting sweater is also more comfortable: feel free to go up a size.

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

When should I order to ensure delivery before Christmas?

Clothing is shipped within 48 business hours, but the holiday season can be busy. To ensure on-time delivery, please place your order a few weeks in advance, especially for embroidered items.

For a custom model, please allow up to about eight business days before shipment. If you have any questions, please contact our customer service team before placing your order.

Can you wear it after the holidays and after breastfeeding?

Yes. A " knit " sweater or sweatshirt can be worn all winter long, well past Christmas. Once the zippers are zipped up, it's just like any other sweater, and you'll continue to wear it after weaning.

That's what makes it a long-lasting purchase rather than a garment meant for just one night.

How do you care for a nursing sweater?

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

Avoid using a dryer, as it can cause the fabric to become matted knit. 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.
