Nursing Bras
I think I have tried every nursing bra out on the market, and here are some of my favorites. A few brands are not truly “nursing bras”, but it is nice to invest in a few bras that work for nursing but that you will still be able to wear after you are finished breastfeeding.
I am not a huge fan of clip nursing bras, especially when I am hanging out at home/sleeping. Love this option for lounging!
Women's Nursing 2pk Pull Over Seamless Sleep Bra - Auden™
This one does have clips but they are comfortable. I still wear this as a sports bra even though I am no longer nursing!
Women's Nursing Yoga Bra - Auden™
This is not truly a nursing bra, but it is super easy to pull down for nursing! This is my favorite brand of bralettes that I still wear post-breastfeeding.
Scoop Bralette | Brand New! | Parade
Another one of my favorite bralettes from Parade that is not truly a “nursing” bra but is easy to pull over for access!

Nursing-Friendly clothes
This is not an exhaustive list by any means but gives you an idea of how you can find stylish clothes that are nursing friendly (without buying true nursing clothes). Look for easy open in the front of loose-fitting, flowing tops.
