One of the staple pieces in my wardrobe each summer has always been dresses. They’re light and comfortable, and they make you look put together even though we all really know putting on a dress is much easier than formulating an entire outfit. I struggled to find maternity dresses that I loved while I was pregnant, and I’m honestly really glad that I wasn’t pregnant over the summer. I’ve heard that it’s hot and kind of miserable. Once I had my baby, I realized that I wouldn’t be able to wear any of my favorite dresses this summer, because you can’t nurse in a regular dress. To do that, I’d have to pull my baby up under my dress, and we all know that just isn’t possible. So I knew that nursing dresses would be a must for the hot summer months.
This dress from Figure 8 Maternity is so comfortable and the nursing holes are on the sides. You honestly can’t tell that it’s a nursing dress! My mom was in town shortly after I got it, helping me fold my laundry, and she was so surprised when I told her that it was a nursing dress. The fabric is light and casual, and I love that I can dress it up or down.

I know this one isn’t technically a dress! I am a total romper gal, and I had the same moment of sadness when I realized I couldn’t wear any of my favorite jumpsuits or rompers this summer because I would have to essentially undress in order to feed my child. But then I found this one from Isabella Oliver and it is SO cute. I get compliments on it every time I wear it, plus it has pockets! Huge win in my book. It’s actually also a maternity jumpsuit, so you can get it while you’re pregnant and continue wearing it while you nurse! I love multi purpose pieces like this one.

This nursing dress from Milk Nursingwear was actually the first one that I got. It’s sooo soft and again, so comfy. I am all about comfort. When I was looking for dresses I was really wary of ones that were obviously nursing dresses. I just want them all to look like normal dresses! You can barely tell that this is a nursing dress, and it’s super discreet.
