5 Fashion Tips for Breastfeeding Moms

Bringing a child into the world and becoming a mother is a life changing experience. Some people think that as soon as the baby arrives, all the clothing rules and restrictions you faced when you were pregnant (empire waist, anyone?) are finally over with. But if you’re among those able to breastfeed and feel like it’s the right fit for your family, you’re going to need to think about what you wear in a whole new way. Here are five tips that will ensure you’re the most fashionable mom on the block.

1. Button-ups are your best friend: Chances are you have a few button-up shirts hanging in your closet. If not, it’s a good time to stock up! Any shirt with buttons is going to make it easy for you to get the job done, especially in the early days when you’re both still trying to figure it out and you need to actually see what you’re doing. If you have to buy up a size to accommodate your new friends, don’t worry. You’ll be able to pair the shirts with leggings and boots after you’re finished nursing. Some of our favorite button-ups of the moment include a plaid flannel shirt ($25), the polka dot blouse ($70) shown above and a simple white silk-blend blouse ($50).

2. Invest in key pieces you can mix and match: It might be tough, but try to resist the urge to buy every nursing top in sight, since you may not be wearing them for that long. Instead, invest in key pieces you can mix and match with other items already in your closet. Plain nursing tanks can be worn on their own, under your favorite sweaters, layered with a scarf or a (baby proof) statement necklace. You already have enough on your hands taking care of a baby, the last thing you need to worry about is putting together a cute outfit. Make it easy on yourself and take a look at your closet before buying anything else. If most of your pieces are bright and colorful, than go for neutrals so it all matches, and vice versa. We’re big fans of the Rosemary tank top ($29), MAMA nursing tanks (2 for $30) shown above and a faux leather striped nursing top ($44).

3. Pay attention to necklines: Feel free to browse more of the store than just the tiny maternity rack in the back corner. Just pay attention to the neckline of any regular shirts you wear when you know you’ll be nursing in public. Anything with a v-neck is great, especially if it’s relaxed fit. Wrap tops allow for easy access while still being something that will always be in style and a closet staple. If a great boat neck dress catches your eye, save it for date night or a baby-free lunch with friends. We found a few necklines that will work for new moms including a knit sweater ($20) and the wrap front blouse ($69) shown above.

4. Accessories, accessories, accessories: A few accessories can change the look and feel of an outfit in an instant. Scarves not only add the finishing touch, they are great for hiding the accidental spit-up or leaks that always seem to happen at the worst times. If nursing in public makes you nervous, buy one like the CoverBoo Couture ($40), that doubles as a nursing cover, but any large scarf will do the same thing. Oversized cardigans ($61), like the one below, will also give you and your little one some added privacy without having to cart around a separate cover. Pair either one with your nursing tanks and you’ll make this whole breastfeeding thing look like a breeze!

5. Have fun! It’s not forever: You’re doing a beautiful and selfless thing for your child, and you should be proud. Not everyone is as lucky. Don’t think of putting together a nursing-friendly outfit as a chore. At the end of the day, fashion is supposed to be fun, and this stage in your life is no exception. It will be over before you know it, and you’ll be back to wearing whatever you want in no time at all. For now, challenge yourself to mix and match patterns and texture. You might surprise yourself! But at the same time, don’t be afraid to repeat an outfit that makes you feel pretty, because confidence is key. And don’t worry, you’re the only one who will remember. Pinky promise.

Picking the perfect name for your baby can feel like a mix of excitement (it's a big deal!) and pressure. You want something you love that feels unique and also has some meaning — but you haven’t even met the little person whose name it will be for the rest of their life?! Plus, you and your partner have to agree on a name, which can make the whole process feel daunting.

Before we even knew we were having a girl, my partner and I struggled to agree on boy names. But naming my daughter was surprisingly easy. That was settled on our first date — Matilda was a name he had always loved and I came to love it too.

If you’re still on the hunt for the one, don’t worry. We’ve got you covered. Here are 75+ baby names set to trend in 2025. According to Baby Center, this year’s big inspirations come from pop culture, sports, and celestial themes. Music-inspired picks like Chappell and Kendrick are climbing the charts, while sports stars Caitlin and Travis are making waves as top contenders in the babe department too. Ready for some fresh baby name ideas? Let’s dive in!

When I was pregnant, I was terrified of labor. I heard only the horror stories, but my experience, like many others I later learned, went surprisingly smooth. It was definitely not what I imagined from the movie labor scenes I witnessed, with the OTT screaming and sweating, especially since I chose to get an epidural.

I was soon reading Amy Poehler's Yes, Please! while lying on the delivery table. (Which was actually the perfect book because she talks about her labor fears too). I even took a nap! I felt great. It wasn’t until the last two hours that I had to “push” — which was no picnic, but also you get through it with lots of nursing cheers and partner support — and the immediate feeling after when you finally meet your babe is BLISS.

This is all to say: maybe keep the scary pregnancy stories private if you have them. I always make a point of sharing my positive story with newly expecting moms in hopes that they will worry less when all you can do is wait. I think a good rule of thumb is to be supportive, positive and excited for her/them. Here are 15 things you maybe shouldn’t tell a woman with a baby bump.

Toa Heftiba

1. "Wow, you’re huge!" or "Are you sure it’s not twins?"

Comments about size or weight, whether the person is “too big” or “too small,” can be hurtful. Every pregnancy looks different so put any thoughts about physical attributes to bed.

Yan Krukau

2. "Should you be eating/drinking that?"

Policing someone’s food or drink choices is invasive and unnecessary. Trust that they’re capable of making informed decisions, with their OB/GYN's support, about themselves and their baby.

Vince Fleming

3. "Was it planned?" or "How long did it take?"

Questions about conception are deeply personal and inappropriate unless they choose to share this info with you.

Leah Newhouse

4. "What are you going to name the baby?"

Many couples want to keep the name private until the baby is born and I'll explain why. Because when you do share, people have their own associations with the name and are not afraid to share what they think, even with just a look on their face. We decided to stop telling people we were naming our baby Matilda because we got negative comments. Now all people say when they meet her is how much they love the name. It's all about the person, not the name!

Jessica Rockowitz

5. "Are you returning to work?"

This is a decision a woman can make with her partner and family without the need to share or decide during the pregnancy stage. I decided three months in, after returning to work, that I couldn't manage a new baby and a demanding job and thought my only option was to leave. Turns out, my boss was very accommodating and allowed me to work from home my first year as a new mom. This is a private decision but also so much changes once the baby arrives.

cottonbro studios

6. "Are you hoping for a boy/girl?"

Talking about gender can put unnecessary pressure on the idea of gender preference when the health of the baby is what truly matters.

Pavel Danilyuk

7. "You look tired."

Pregnancy is exhausting, especially during that first trimester. Pointing it out doesn’t help and might make expecting moms feel self-conscious. "Glowing" and "beautiful" are better words for mama-to-be to hear!

Shutterstock

8. "You’ll sleep when the baby sleeps."

Actually, you won't because mom has so many other things to take care of, including herself, when the baby is sleeping. Instead, offer to help watch the baby so she can get some sleep or offer to help run errands. This is so much better than advice that is just not practical!

Jonathan Borba

9. "You're going to have your hands full!"

Pregnancy and parenthood come with plenty of changes, but fear-mongering or negativity isn’t helpful. Everyone’s experience is unique, and making blanket statements like this one is just not useful to new moms.

PNW Production

10. "Enjoy your freedom while it lasts."

Parenthood may change things, but it’s not helpful to imply life ends once the baby arrives. The first year and beyond are so rewarding and can even bring you and your partner even closer. Yes, it's challenging in terms of having free time, but you find so many moments of joy too that you don't really want to be away from your baby!

Febe Vanermen

11. "Can I touch your belly?" (or worse, touching without asking)

Always ask for permission, and don’t take offense if they say no. Personal space and body autonomy is still important.

Ivan Samkov

12. Do you plan to breastfeed?

This is such a personal choice and the question itself comes off as judgmental. Also, some women who plan to breastfeed can't so this is a question better left unasked.

Jeferson Santu

13. "How much weight have you gained?"

Weight-related comments are intrusive and can be offensive. See question one!

Amina Filkins

14. "You’re going to bounce back, right?"

Recovery is personal, and this type of comment pressures new moms to meet unrealistic expectations.

Germs

15. "Is the baby here yet?"

I was a few days late and had several people check in maybe a little too often. I wanted to say, 'You'll know when I know!" Late in pregnancy, this can be frustrating and annoying. We're already counting the days and don’t need reminders!

The '90s introduced decorating trends like neutral color palettes with beige, taupe, and white leading the way. Pops of color like hunter green, burgundy, and navy were always in the mix too. Floral prints were everywhere, from upholstery to wallpaper borders, and sponge-painted walls gave spaces a textured look. I remember helping my mom prep my sister’s nursery with a wallpaper border and sponge-painting our bathroom walls in a peachy hue. Oak cabinets and light wood furniture were staples, often paired with brass or gold accents (sound familiar?). There were also glass block walls, track lighting, and oversized sectional sofas. Southwestern motifs and geometric patterns were also popular, while inflatable furniture and lava lamps gave tween rooms a playful vibe. While some of these trends are being reimagined by designers today, others are best left within the confines of our '90s nostalgia.

Here are all the '90s decorating trends we still love today.

1. Stencils

Etsy

Etsy Nadia Indian Block Print Allover Stencil

Wall stencils were huge in the '90s, offering an easy way to add decorative patterns and borders to any room. From floral designs to geometric shapes, stencils were the O.G. approach to DIY-ing walls. Modern stenciling techniques are making a stylish and more subtle comeback. I especially love this block print look for an elevated rustic vibe.

2. Wallpaper Borders

Etsy

Etsy Classic Scallop Border Wall Sticker

Unlike my mom's wallpaper border that needed to be scraped and sanded off, modern varieties are stick on and removable and so much easier to deal with. Plus, they come in fun prints and shapes like this scallop border.

3. Textured Walls

Gavin Cater

I don't know that I'll ever love sponge-painting again, but rustic home decor is making a solid comeback with Pinterest searches for Spanish Mediterranean kitchens and Mexican farmhouse on the rise (think earthy patterns and textures like plaster). This bathroom designed by Los Angeles design firm Bungalowe uses microcement on the walls for an imperfect and natural look that's so gorgeous.

4. Hunter Green

DeVOL Kitchens

Hunter green is back. Find it in kitchen cabinet colors, wall color, and furnishings. This project by DeVOL Kitchens, a renowned design-led manufacturer of bespoke kitchens, uses the color in one of its iconic UK-based kitchen designs.

5. Ruffles

Anthropologie

Anthropologie Lorelei Irena Accent Chair

Pleated skirts on sofas and chairs are making their way back as a response to a new romantic trend.

6. Burgundy

CB2

CB2 Monte Oak Wood and Rose Velvet Dining Chair

NYC-based designer Nicholas Obeid designed this dining chair with FSC-certified American red oak and a plush velvet in a deep, rich burgundy color that I want for my dining room ASAP. It's giving '90s but in a sophisticated way.

7. Floral Everything

Cari Field

The '90s embraced all the florals. Fast forward to today, James and Christine of Stewart-Schafer thoughtfully renovated their clients' 200-year-old home in Connecticut with a stunning floral wallpaper and I'm obsessed!

8. Pastels

Urban Outfitters

UO Roma Sofa

I will never not love pastels, especially in the Danish variety.

9. Wicker Furniture

Greenrow

Greenrow Seagrass Occasional Loveseat

Word on the street is that wicker is making a comeback, but in an elevated way. Gone are the bulky porch furniture sets in stark white. This natural seagrass chair is the modern version of your '90s wicker.

10. Bedskirts

Greenrow

Greenrow Vintage Bedskirt

Sleek platform beds are making way for the return of the bedskirt and I'm not sad about it.

11. Tassels

Wayfair

Hadiqa Upholstered Barrel Chair

Tassels were everywhere in '90s decor, often used as embellishments on curtain tiebacks, lampshades, and throw pillows. Think heavy drapes in jewel tones held back with gold tasseled cords, a fringed lampshade, bedspreads and furniture skirts, adding texture and movement. Well, they're back and pretty beautiful IMO.

12. Oak Cabinets

Oak cabinets you'll find today are clean and minimal compared to the ones back then, but they are just as popular. Alice Arterberry of Austin-based design firm Arterberry Cooke and Danny Spears of Captex Construction designed this stunning Austin kitchen in oak, from cabinets to floors.

13. Tropical

PB Teen

PB Teen Palm Chandelier

Tropical decor has become timeless, blending playful charm with laid-back elegance. From bold, exotic wallpapers to whimsical chandeliers like this one, it’s the perfect way to bring relaxed, vacation-inspired vibes to your home.

14. Neutral Color Palettes

The quiet luxury aesthetic of neutral color palettes will always bring a soothing and serene feeling to spaces and I'm ok with still loving it, even as color starts to take over our spaces. There's always space for warm minimalism!

When it comes to denim trends, skinny jeans are making a surprising comeback in 2025. Though I think they’re a bit far from my personal style (and way too constricting for my body), I totally admire how other fashion fans have been styling skinny jeans lately.

Skinny jeans look insanely chic when you wear ‘em tucked into some tall boots. I’ve also seen instances of a skinny jean-ballet flat combo, which feels undeniably twee, a whimsical aesthetic style that’s risen in popularity over the years. No matter how you style them, the skinny jeans trend is for you as long as it incites confidence in your outfits and attitude!

Here are 10 pairs of actually cute skinny jeans to convince you to hop on the bandwagon this year!

Anthropologie

Joe's Jeans Charlie High-Rise Skinny Jeans

Dark wash jeans will never not be cool. These skinny jeans hug the legs tight so you can layer up with boots if you please!

Madewell

Madewell 10" High-Rise Skinny Jeans

Sometimes a high rise is just what you need to feel put together. This skinny yet stretchy pair from Madewell has a whole 10 inches that hits high on your waistline.

Nordstrom

Paige Gemma Skinny Jeans

I adore how these "stretch-kissed" skinny jeans don't totally taper off at the ankle, which can be a little off-putting for your proportions. Instead, the cuffs leave ample room for a more natural styling.

Abercrombie & Fitch

Abercrombie & Fitch High Rise Skinny Jeans

Abercrombie & Fitch absolutely kills the jeans game, so it's not a huge surprise to me that their skinny jeans are speaking to my personal style! This pair's medium wash will easily wear with just about anything you want to put on, plus I love the look of 'em with some slingback flats as pictured!

Old Navy

Old Navy High-Waisted Wow Super-Skinny Jeans

You can never go wrong with a super skinny fit paired with a considerably high waistline. The higher waist on this fitted Old Navy pair will instantly flatter your figure!

Free People

We The Free Coco Slim Jeans

The more and more I see skinny jeans worn with tall black boots, the more and more I wanna wear 'em. This Free People pair even has some unique seam work at the front to help your looks stand out!

DUER

DUER Performance Denim Mid Rise Slim Straight Jeans

Impressively stretchy, these skinny jeans flaunt a "waist-hugging" mid-rise that helps sculpt your bod in only the best ways. These also have that looser fit around the ankle for a more natural effect.

Rag & Bone

Rag & Bone Cate Ankle Skinny Jeans

I'm in love with this dark wash – it'll work well with any and all neutral colors or brighter tones if you tend to wear those more.

Nordstrom

AG Mari Mid Rise Slim Straight Leg Jeans

Instead of fitting super tight like a literal glove (except... on your legs), these mid-rise jeans have more of a 'slim' silhouette. It still gives the look of skinny jeans without being overly restricting – score!

Banana Republic Factory

Banana Republic Mid-Rise Skinny Jeans

These full-length skinny jeans are crafted from a stretchy denim fabric that mimics 100% denim so stylishly. They've still got all the classic details you'd expect from some jeans, including a 5-pocket design and a zippered and buttoned front closure.
