#1 Nursing Wear Mistake New Moms Make (+ What to Buy Instead)

By Genieva Davidson June 11, 2025

The #1 Nursing Wear Mistake Mamas Make (and How to Avoid It)

Let’s talk nursing wear. 

Because no one warned us that the biggest postpartum wardrobe struggle wouldn’t be body changes…it’d be finding clothes that actually work for nursing.

What I Wish I Knew About Nursing Clothes

When I was deep in the newborn phase, I made what I now consider the #1 nursing wear mistake: I bought pieces labeled “nursing-friendly” that weren’t actually practical.

I thought I was doing everything right...Googling “best nursing clothes,” adding button-downs and crossover tops to my cart, trying to prepare. But most of what I bought turned out to be uncomfortable, inconvenient, or both.

The Most Common Nursing Wear Pitfalls

Here are a few “nursing-friendly” features that ended up being anything but:

  • Tiny buttons that take two hands and way too much patience

  • Flimsy flaps that don’t stay put and offer zero privacy

  • Unflattering styles

  • Cheap fabric that stretches out or shrinks within weeks

  • Clothes that only work for a 3-month window (and then get donated)

Most of what’s marketed to new moms isn’t made by moms and it shows.

What Makes Movemama Apparel Different

At Movemama Apparel, we design nursing wear that actually works—and looks good doing it.

Why? Because I’m a mom too. I created every piece in our collection to solve the exact problems I faced while nursing. Here’s what makes our clothes stand out:

✅ Effortless Nursing Access

All our tops feature two-direction invisible zippers that make feeding simple, discreet, and one-hand friendly—because let’s be real, that’s all you’ve got most days.

✅ Made for Real Life

We use buttery-soft, breathable fabrics that feel good all day long, from middle-of-the-night feeds to marathon Target runs. Everything is machine washable and built to last.

✅ Styles You’ll Wear Beyond Breastfeeding

Our pieces are wardrobe staples that transition with you. Once you’re done nursing, the zippers tuck away—and you’re left with a flattering, everyday piece that you’ll keep wearing for years.

A Better Way to Dress for Motherhood

You don’t need a pile of “nursing tops” you’ll hate in six months.
You need pieces you feel good in right now, that don’t make you choose between function and style.

That’s what Movemama Apparel is here for.

Whether you’re breastfeeding, pumping, combo feeding, or figuring it out as you go—our clothes are designed to meet you where you are. Comfortably. Confidently. On your terms.

💬 Final Thoughts from One Mama to Another

You’re doing an incredible job.
Your nursing journey might look different than you imagined—but that doesn’t mean you should have to settle for clothes that don’t support you.

With Movemama, you don’t have to.
