Breastfeeding clothes with side opening

Our signature feature: nursing clothes that open on the side, with two zippers on either side of the chest. No need to lift your top or lower your neckline—just unzip, let your baby nurse, and zip back up. Over two hundred styles, from T-shirts to sweaters to dresses.

How does a side-opening mechanism work?

There is a zipper on each side of the garment, at chest level. You open the zipper on the feeding side with one hand, allowing your baby to latch on, while the rest of the garment stays in place.

Since there's a zipper on each side, you can easily switch between breasts without having to take off or lift the garment.

Why choose a side opening?

• Discretion: The opening is on the side, not on the front;
• Comfort: Your stomach and back stay covered, even in cool weather;
• Speed: The zipper can be opened with one hand;
• Classic look: When zipped up, the zippers are barely noticeable.

What clothing items are recommended to wear with this neckline?

Almost the entire collection: T-shirts, sweaters, sweatshirts, tank tops, dresses, and pajamas. Prices range from about €20 to €86.

How can I breastfeed discreetly using this system?

Hold your baby against you, unzip the side you want, and let the fabric naturally cover the feeding. A small cloth or a thin scarf can provide extra privacy if you'd like.

What size should I choose?

Choose your usual pre-pregnancy size; if you're unsure, go with the larger size for a more comfortable fit. Some styles run small—this is noted in the product description. Returns are accepted only for refunds; exchanges are not available.

Can you wear them during and after pregnancy?

Yes, many styles are designed to be comfortable for a rounded belly, and you'll get used to the zippers before the baby is born. With the zippers closed, they can still be worn long after you've weaned your baby.

How do you care for zippers?

Wash the garment at 30 °C on the delicate cycle, inside out and with zippers closed. Do not tumble dry; lay flat to dry. 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.
