When you’re a new mum, your thought process leaving the house goes a little like this.
Car keys? Check. All the sh*t the baby needs? Check. Undies? In my handbag. Pads? Glovebox. Clothing I can breastfeed in? Dammit.
Finding nursing-friendly fashion that is stylish, comfortable and practical is an art, because you want to feel good about yourself when you leave the house but also be able to easily access a breast when your baby is wailing for lunch.

Thankfully, the key to nailing breastfeeding fashion is simple – it’s buttons.
Not faux buttons that have precisely no purpose, but real buttons that can be undone when you need to whip a boob out.
Three very affordable breastfeeding fashion options we’ve seen recently that tick all the boxes come from Kmart.
As seen on Instagram fashion bloggers, the Kmart Extended Sleeve Midi Shirt Dress ($25), Short Tie Sleeve Midi Dress ($25) and Extended Sleeves Jumpsuit ($28) all have buttons down the front of the items for quick breast access when required.
But Kmart isn’t your only option for chic, practical pieces you can throw on and breastfeed in. Keep scrolling for 19 maternity, nursing and breastfeeding fashion options that won’t throw out your budget.
Even better, some can also accommodate growing stomachs (think of the cost per wear!!).
