Ladies,
Nothing beats breast when it comes to feeding baby. Besides getting a mouthful of some of the best food on the planet, you get to bond and burn calories at the same time.
And while you'll find plenty of sites to help with the mechanics of it all, there's not as much out there for the other things that matter to the breastfeeding mama--like where to find a nursing bra that's comfortable and gorgeous, or if you can still wear a chic dress and not have to worry about hiking it up to feed a hungry baby (and yes, they are out there).
So read our guide to find the goodies that will make your breastfeeding days as comfortable, fabulous and-- dare we say-- as sexy as possible.
Love,
MomFinds

Long gone are the days of boring, white cotton nursing bras that look more like something for grandma than a nursing goddess. Actually, they're still around, but it doesn't mean you have to wear them. Instead, opt for something more glam (and still comfy) and treat yourself to these irresistible nursing bras that will make you feel good inside and out…and of course they make breastfeeding a snap.
Amoralia Nougatine Nursing Bra - Never used 'glamorous' to describe a nursing bra? Then you haven't seen Amoralia's Bras. Already a hit in the UK, they're finally making their way to the U.S. with one goal: to make nursing moms look and feel sexy without having to sacrifice comfort. You'll forget it's a nursing bra until it's time for another feeding.
Eve Alexander Nursing Bra - "Never underestimate the power of a good bra" is Eve Alexander's motto, and after trying out their bras, we know they mean business. Providing just the right amount of lift without unnecessary under wire, they come in saucy colors that will make you and hubby blush.
Belabumbum Lotus Lace Nursing Bra - Inspired by the sensual styles seen on a trip to Brazil, Belabumbum gives new meaning to lingerie for nursing moms. Meaning 'beautiful bottom' in Portuguese, their new Lotus Lace Seamless Nursing Bra makes your breasts look beautiful, too. Available in pearl, rose, and black with pearl or white lace.
Elle Macpherson's 'La Mere' Nursing Bra - Foxy yet still functional, Elle Macpherson's 'La Mere' Nursing Bra provides excellent support and easy access with their quick-release clasps. Available in black or pearl lace, you know it will look gorgeous if a supermodel designed it.

Just because you're breastfeeding, doesn't mean you have to give up your great sense of style and wear clothes that are more frumpy than fabulous. So no matter what time of day it is, here are some fashion finds that are comfortable enough to sleep and lounge in and stylish, yet functional enough to wear out and about.
Belabumbum Nursing Chemise - Say no to the hideous circus tents with slits down the middle posing as nursing gowns, and say yes to Belabumbum's Cotton Dot Nursing Chemise. Perfect for those first days at the hospital, the empire waist is flattering and the material is ultra soft. Available with pink or blue dots, you'll be ready for all your close-ups with baby. $62 @ belabumbum.com (Get the matching robe for $53)
Mamalove Nursing Sleepwear - When you want something to lounge around the house in that's pretty enough to wear when visitors drop by, Mamalove sleepwear is for you. Made of cotton with delicate lace detailing and convenient nursing access, choose from several styles including their knee-length chemise or two-piece PJs (three-quarters sleeve or camisole-style).
Bravado Essential Nursing Bra Tank - Tired of your nursing bra but still want the support and easy nursing access? Then try the Bravado Nursing Tank featuring a built-in, full support molded bra (instead of a shelf bra like others). Cut to skim your body instead of cling to it, it won't ride up your sides.

Mayreau - A new designer focused on making nursing apparel as stylish as possible, Mayreau's Fall '06 collection is simple, modern and feminine. The Butterfly Dress with flutter sleeves and empire waist looks fresh paired with jeans, leggings or boots, and the wrap-style Ella Dress is a classic look you can wear year-round. (Also available as a top for $58).
Japanese Weekend - Japanese Weekend's 3-in-1 Long Sleeve dress is lovely as it is versatile—unbutton it and wear as two separate pieces. Their Sash Front Top is made of the softest, eco-friendly bamboo material; wear it before baby arrives, and enjoy how it stretches with your growing belly.
Eva Lillian - Making nursing look cool and sassy, no one would ever guess Eva Lillian's outfits are made especially for nursing moms. Their Sexy & Sophisticated Nursing Dress is chic enough to wear on any occasion—even after weaning, and the Sarong Nursing Tank is a perfect transitional piece you can wear with anything.

Bebe Au Lait Nursing Covers - Nurse confidently without worrying about revealing more than you'd like with Bebe Au Lait. Simply place the neck strap over your head, and relax when baby tugs and pulls at the cover—it won't slip off like a blanket. Invest in some matching burp cloths for a completely coordinated look. $35 for Nursing Covers; $16 for Set of Two Burp cloths.
Milkdudz Nursing Covers - You won't look like a dud when you cover up with Milkdudz. Available in two different designs--the Original Babymina or Convertible Babymina-- you decide how to wear it and how much coverage you need. Both are lined with undyed, organic cotton so that baby comes in contact with only the softest material.
Belly Huggers - More self-conscious about baring your belly than your breasts when feeding baby? The Belly Hugger perfect for you. Slip it on like a tube top, and pull it up to cover as little or as much skin you want to show. A great tool for when you want to wear your favorite non-nursing top.
Baby Daze Organizer - The Baby Daze Organizer lets you keep track of feeding details in one convenient place. With a spot to write down everything from feeding times to pumping info (and plenty of other non-feeding material), it's just the right size to slip in your bag and take it with you wherever you go.
The Nursing Bracelet - An attractive way to keep track of baby's feeding routine, the Nursing Bracelet makes it easy to remember which side you last fed from—simply wear it on alternating wrists. Also designed to represent a 12-hour clock, you can mark the time of baby's last feeding. Made of semi precious stones, it's a cute little fashion accessory.
