Breastfeeding sweatshirts with side opening

Our side-opening nursing sweatshirts have a secret: two discreet zippers, hidden on either side of the chest, that let you nurse without having to lift or remove anything. About 50 styles, ranging from the simplest to the most colorful.

How does the side opening work?

The zipper runs along the side seam of the sweatshirt, at chest level. You can open it with one hand, allowing your baby to latch on directly to your breast, and then close it again. The rest of the sweatshirt stays in place: the belly, back, and shoulders remain covered.

When zipped up, the zippers blend into the seam: no one can tell where the opening is, which makes breastfeeding in public less stressful.

Why choose a side opening?

Unlike a center opening or a drop-down neckline, the side opening doesn't distort the garment and doesn't expose the upper abdomen. It's also suitable when the baby is in the feeding position while lying down.

It doesn't require any extra fabric to hold in place: you have one hand free to hold your baby.

What models are available?

The collection includes about 50 sweatshirts, ranging in price from approximately €62 to €73:

• customizable designs with embroidery (#MOMMY, AMORE, OPEN BAR, MOTHER OF, LUCKY CHARM);

• The MOM sweatshirt, priced at about €62, and available in several solid colors.

What size should I choose?

Choose your usual pre-pregnancy size. If you like loose-fitting sweatshirts, choose one size larger. The product pages list the model's size and height.

How can I breastfeed discreetly while wearing a sweatshirt?

Unzip the side where you'll be nursing, position your baby against you, and let the sweatshirt drape naturally over them. The thick fabric acts as a screen. For more tips, read our article on discreet breastfeeding.

Can it be customized?

Yes, several models can be embroidered with the text of your choice. The options are listed on each product page. A personalized item is made to order: it requires additional time to produce and cannot be returned or refunded.

Can you wear it during and after pregnancy?

Yes, the loose fit is comfortable for a rounded belly. With the zippers closed, it works well even after weaning, and also makes a lovely gift for an expectant or new mom.

How do you care for a zip-up sweatshirt?

Wash it at 30°C on the delicate cycle, inside out and with the zippers closed. Avoid the dryer and lay flat to dry to preserve the prints and 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.
