Nursing-friendly dresses that don't look like nursing dresses
Smocking, wraps and buttons do the work, so nobody can tell. Most of these also have room for a bump, so they carry you from pregnancy straight into the nursing months.
Moms in our research keep calling nursing clothes boxy, frumpy and obvious. These come from the stores creators recommend most, picked for the neckline, not the label.
