Nursing dresses are a go-to option for nursing moms. They are a classic maternity piece known for their comfort, practicality, and easy care. What makes them even better is that you don’t have to sacrifice your fashion sense to wear nursing dresses.
As you take a look through the dresses in this guide, you’ll see that they come in a variety of different styles and colors for any occasion you can think of.
Choosing the ideal nursing dress for you will help Junior get their meals comfortably and discreetly while helping you feel like the stylish, trendy, beautiful mom you are.
The Maxi Nursing Dress
Our Maxi Nursing Dress is an easy-to-wear maxi nursing dress made from ridiculously soft jersey fabric. The fabric drapes down to your ankles in a carefree but still organized kind of way.
Close attention to detail is found in delicate shirring at the neckline and pleats along the front. One of the pleats is overlapping and opens up for quick and effortless feeding.
Style this with basically any footwear you want — sandals, sneakers, and heels — even boots will look great with this dress. Throw on a jean jacket or cashmere cardigan if you like. It’s as versatile as you are.
The Short Secret Nursing Dress
When it’s beautiful warm weather outside, this is your beautiful warm weather nursing dress. Hatch updated The Secret Nursing Dress with a shorter length and a lightweight gingham cotton to keep you feeling (and looking) cool.
It comes in a small floral print on a chalk-colored base. Secret slits at the chest make for easy feeding right through the front of your dress. Then, they snap close to stay secure when you’re not feeding.
Wear this out on a walk around the neighborhood while you push the stroller, or have a picnic, perhaps. Make sure to take breaks away from the sun and expect that if it’s hot out, your baby might become extra thirsty… good thing about the simple, smooth access!
The Easy Going Nursing Tee Dress
Effortless fashion and effortless feeding capability. That’s what moms need out of their nursing dresses, and this is another one from Hatch that delivers.
The Easy Going Nursing Tee Dress is constructed from 100% organic Pima cotton: it may be the softest thing in your closet. It simply feels amazing, and you’re going to love wearing it. It’s so soft, it’s basically a cuddle magnet for your baby (and your furbabies too).
The design of this t-shirt dress is simple, but there’s more to it than meets the eye. It’s a layered design, with an outside layer that pulls open to access a discreet center slit for feeding. It kind of turns your shirt into a little feeding tent of sorts for your baby to hang out in when they get hungry.
The Secret Nursing Dress, made with viscose milled in France, is a lightweight, airy dress. The elegant black base with a charming floral print is an instant trend-starter.
Wondering what the secret behind the Secret Nursing Dress is? Answer: hidden snaps and secret slits at the chest for feeding. Now, you don’t have to go up and over or down and around.
Tasteful ruffles at the sleeves add a bit of playfulness to this lovely warm-weather dress. Oh, and it has pockets. Yes, for dresses with pockets, especially for moms with babies. When your mom friends ask where you got this, this is a secret you don’t have to keep.
The Softest Rib Nursing Dress
A ‘90s inspired maternity dress with an empire waist and a snap front placket that looks awesome and makes nursing a breeze. The Softest Rib Nursing Dress is offered in four neutral colors, meaning that you’ll look sleek and casual, and anything colorful that you put in front of it (like a baby in a fun outfit) is going to pop.
Style this dress how you want; wear it where you want. It’s a lovely dress for another lovely day with your little one.
The Organic Cotton Nursing Night Dress
Harness some Little House on the Prairie vibes with the ultimate house and maternity dress: the Organic Cotton Nursing Night Dress. Of course, it’s super soft (like all the other dresses on this list, because Hatch isn’t going to mess around with a nursing dress that isn’t soft), and it’s also a snap to nurse with a button-front closure.
Take a minute to appreciate the balloon sleeves! Made from organic cotton and offered in three floral colorways, you can wear this dress out with a pair of booties and be just as comfortable as when you stay home with it on the sofa.
Another standout feature of this dress is an elastic waistband along the back that grows with you and makes for a perfect fit during and after pregnancy.
The Smocked Secret Nursing Dress
A tiered nursing dress with smocked details along the neckline, ruffles, and a removable tie? Excuse me, are you a mom or a Disney princess or both?
This fun warm-weather dress comes in lilac and black gingham patterns. Wear this Smocked Secret Nursing Dress for a daytime adventure with baby, maybe meet up with some gal pals for brunch and finally enjoy that mimosa you’ve been thinking about for nine months.
Oh yeah, and in case you thought it couldn’t get any better, it’s another one with pockets.
The Alyssa Dress
Super soft, super cute, super airy, and flowy. The Alyssa Dress hits on the main points that you’re looking for in a nursing dress.
In addition, it’s also badass.
It’s a maternity shirt dress that looks something like flannel but is actually made from a lightweight viscose. It’s got a button-down style, elastic on the back waist, and a removable sash.
Wear it on its own when the sun is out, or throw on a jacket and pair of combat boots when the weather gets cold. This is the dress you want to wear when you finally get a night out to see some live music again.
The Pointelle Nightgown
It’s a nightgown, so it’s meant for cuddling and sleeping and such, but the Pointelle Nightgown also happens to be super pretty. Like pretty enough that you won’t second guess it to greet visitors who want to come in and meet the baby.
The dainty pointelle pattern, soft material, stretchy fabric: it has everything you could want for some delightful rest and recovery.
The Jenna Dress
This is the springtime dress of springtime dresses. The Jenna Dress is made from a lightweight and cool linen Tencel fabric, with a stone-washed sunflower color and ruffled shoulder sleeves, it touches on basically every desirable characteristic you could want in a spring dress.
That, and it’s made for nursing. It’s got a drawcord at the neckline and a button-placket to help keep it as cool and cute as ever. Side slits and a shirttail hemline keep it relaxed and breezy.
Wear it out to dinner, the park to meet some mom and baby friends, and the farmer’s market on a Saturday morning.
The Visitor Dress
Let’s discuss the Visitor Dress: a luxe French terry dress that is both elegant and easy to wear. The long sleeve design, v-neckline, and solid color options create a sense of structure in the form and factor of this dress, while the material and cut are decidedly relaxed.
Wear it home from the hospital, with socks around the house, with sandals out for a quick errand. Anywhere you take, it is set for a chill time and prompt feeding.
The Slouch Dress
The cut of the Slouch Dress is flattering on every pregnant and growing body. It’s also a fun piece to wear that is a breeze to style on its own or with some black leggings. A deep v-neck, side drape, and dolman sleeves — that’s a trifecta of cool mom energy.
The Pointelle Nursing Nightie
Ah, the nightgown: often overlooked but always a joy to wear. This nursing-friendly Pointelle Nursing Nightie is a surefire way to wake up in the morning feeling classy and cultivated, no matter how many times you had to wake up to feed the baby.
Scalloped edging, shell buttons, and spaghetti straps are perfect for sleeping, and the design as a whole is proper enough to host visitors who stop by to meet the little one.
