It’s worth repeating that a breastfeeding mother has a legal right in all 50 states to breastfeed in public. Breastfeeding is not only the healthiest thing for a new mother and her baby to engage in, it's also a beautiful act of bonding. For those moms who are breastfeeding in public, here are some more tips to help you look and feel good:

Wrap it up

A good wrap dress is versatile and can be worn for years to come. They look great on any size woman and provide easy access for a hungry little one. For moms on a budget, look no further than Target. Their Merona Wrap Dress is inexpensive and fits the bill. If you want to spend a bit more and look like you just stepped off the Eiffel Tower, you will adore this candy cane wrap dress. Take another step up the price ladder and you’ll find Isabella Oliver offers a lovely blue wrap dress. For the Manhattan mama who is willing to shell out for a timeless black dress, this silk wrap dress is for you. 

When you are looking for a wrap dress, especially online, check the description to make sure it’s not a faux-wrap dress. You want the genuine article.

Now that you’re not pregnant though, dresses aren’t nearly as indispensable, and separates are making their way back into your life. Wrap shirts are an equally simple way to provide some coverage as you feed your baby. Finding a few beautiful wrap shirts that are affordable is not easy. However, this gorgeous wrap top is only $19. This Asian-style silk top in cinnamon is more expensive but quite beautiful. Spiegel sells some elegant wrap tops that are great for the office; this strapless one is a steal. This simple white one is a little bit pricey but a good item to have. As always, Target has an inexpensive solution.

Wraps, Shawls, and Scarves

Every woman should have a few over-sized scarves and wraps. These bring decadence to any outfit and are perfect for covering a nursing baby as well. If you don’t have one, Macy’s has an excellent selection. Wraps can get expensive but you will use a nice one for the next 20 years or so. Of course, this Pashmina wrap, red wrap and paisley wrap are all on sale for about $25. Target has a pretty, oversized scarf in aqua for a little over $12. If you want something earthier though, this wrap on Etsy for $39 is a good choice.
