Going to a formal event... suggestions for bf-friendly attire?

[Itsychik]

I will be attending a formal event this weekend and am EBF my 7-week old. DH and I were discussing what to wear yesterday and it had not occurred to me at all that I need something I can discreetly breast feed in.

Does anyone have any suggestions of something somewhat formal (like something you'd wear to a wedding) that would be easy to bf in?? What type of outfit would you consider appropriate for a formal occasion?

Thanks!

I have a few jojo maman bebe dresses and tops. You can wear them during the day or dress them up and they are nursing dresses. I have the following in the blue that I dressed up with cream shoes, a thick pearl neckless, bracelet and matching bag x

Wrap style dresses work really well. You dont have to buy nursing dresses then and they are half the price.

oasis do several v neck style dresses that are a deep v but with an extra press stud for modesty. Like this one https://www.oasis-stores.com/silk-japanese-bird-dess/dresses/oasis/fcp-product/5550079658 Wear one with a cardigan then you can button up the cardigan when you need to feed and pull the dress down. It also works with a halter dress.

I was actually in a wedding while breastfeeding. Luckily, the dress I wore was a wrap style and it worked to take my LO into an office and I could pull the front down and she could nurse quite easily. I hope you find something you like!

I went to a wedding on Wednesday, and I wore a slightly stretchy, deep v-neck dress from bon marché! I had a nursing top from h&m underneath, and moving the dress aside and then manipulating the top to get at my boob worked really well! I wanted to try things on, so I tried a good few high street stores. I've never shopped at bon marché before, but they actually had a few BFing friendly clothes, and they're really not expensive! Not sure if you have that chain over there, but it's just an option to consider if you do hope you find something you like!
