Zip-up breastfeeding sweatshirts

Zip-up nursing sweatshirts are the most comfortable items in a new mom’s wardrobe: soft, warm, and easy to slip on, with a double zipper opening on the sides for nursing without having to lift the fabric. About 50 styles to choose from, including solid colors, prints, and customizable options.

What is a zip-up nursing sweatshirt?

It's a classic sweatshirt, but with two hidden side zippers on either side of the chest. You unzip the side where you're breastfeeding, your baby can access your breast, and the rest of the sweatshirt stays in place.

When zipped up, the zippers are barely noticeable: the sweatshirt looks just like any ordinary one. It's the most discreet option for breastfeeding in public.

What styles are included in the collection?

Prices range from about €62 to €73:

• customizable designs with embroidery (#MOMMY, AMORE, OPEN BAR, MOTHER OF, LUCKY CHARM), for about €73;
• printed designs (HEARTS, LOVE, LOVE CLUB, MAMMA COOL, LEOPARD), priced at approximately €69 to €71;
• the MOM sweatshirt, priced at about €62;
• Several colors, including "AMOUR" navy and the brown heart design.

How does the opening work?

The zipper can be operated with just one hand: you open the side you need, feed the baby, and then close it again. The baby's tummy and back stay covered, which is important in winter.

How do you wear a nursing sweatshirt?

Pair them with jeans or leggings for everyday wear, with sweatpants for lounging at home, or with a long skirt for a more put-together look. Wearing a layer of Breastfeeding t-shirt underneath adds warmth.

For layering, see our Breastfeeding t-shirts.

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 to help you compare.

Can you customize a sweatshirt?

Yes, several styles can be embroidered with the text of your choice, such as #MOMMY, OPEN BAR, or MOTHER OF. The customization options are listed on each product page.

A custom item is made to order: it requires additional time to produce and cannot be returned or refunded.

Can you wear them during pregnancy?

Yes, the loose fit is comfortable for a rounded belly. You'll get used to the zippers before your first feedings.

Can you wear them after breastfeeding?

Yes. With the zippers zipped up, these are classic sweatshirts that you'll keep long after weaning. They also make a lovely gift for an expectant or new mom.

How do you care for a nursing 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.
