You have prepared your pregnancy wardrobe and baby’s newborn outfits, but what about your postpartum attire? Stock up on these essentials now so you are not stuck wearing your maternity clothes or trying to squeeze into your pre-pregnancy clothes too soon.

Between the lack of sleep and the postpartum recovery, it is a good idea to have a few postpartum ready-to-wear pieces that you can throw on without much thought that will make you feel and look great.

-Nursing tops: If you plan on breastfeeding, buy a couple of stylish tops that are forgiving on your postpartum tummy and make nursing a breeze.
Pictured is the Nursing Top from Mimi Maternity in Deep Aqua.

-Pants/jeans: You probably won’t be able to wear your pre-pregnancy jeans until you are around 6-9 months postpartum (or sooner for those lucky few) which is why you should consider buying some jeans or pants 2-3 sizes larger than your pre-pregnant size. Trust me, it will feel good to wear something that does not have a belly panel. Plus, you will love watching those jeans get baggy as you return to your pre-pregnant size.

-Dress: Look for an empire-waist dress that has a flattering v-neckline. Bright colors or a floral print will brighten your face and your baby will love looking at the colors!
