Basics are important for all wardrobes so we don't need to mention how important it is for your maternity and nursing closet as well. In this category you’ll find all the most important maternity and nursing basics from Mamalicious. They are a must-have and will make life a lot easier.
How to style the maternity basics
Well-fitted, comfortable basics are effortless and easy to mix and match with your stylish maternity workwear. Go for a simple black jersey dress that will hug your growing belly and most importantly, grow with you. Black dress is very easy to dress up and down, add a smart maternity blazer and comfortable loafers for the office and for the after-work dinner accessories with a necklace and change to the heels. When all the trousers are too uncomfortable it's time for our maternity leggings. Pair the leggings with longer maternity shirt or a blouse and finish off with a cozy maternity jacket when it gets colder. You may think buying maternity underwear is not worth the trouble, however, our basic maternity bras and panties will prove you otherwise. Comfortable fits, seamless and soft fabrics, we have the perfect selection of basic maternity lingerie you won't even notice wearing.
Basics for new mums
As a new mum, you need basics that fit you perfectly, retain their shape and feel soft against the skin as you settle into life with your baby. Our basic long-sleeved nursing tops and breastfeeding tank tops feature a built-in nursing layer, which means that you can forego the nursing bra entirely if you feel comfortable doing so. Additionally, they can also be used at night to make night-time feeding easier for both of you. If you get chilly, the maternity cardigans you bought during your pregnancy will match perfectly while still providing you with easy nursing access. You’ll also find nursing lingerie made in soft materials, made with careful attention to comfort and functionality.
Not sure what to get? Then have a look at our maternity and nursing boxes. These contain a selection of our basic styles at a great price, such as nursing-friendly underwear, breastfeeding T-shirts and comfy post-partum jeans. All you need to choose is your size and colour and wait for them to be delivered to your door.
Which nursing bra should I choose?
One of the must-have nursing basics is of course the nursing bra. Even before baby is born, you might notice a change in overall bust size as your body prepares itself for breastfeeding. All of the nursing bras from Mamalicious fit comfortably around the bust and are therefore ideal to wear already during the pregnancy. All styles have easy-to-use nursing functions that can either be pulled aside or snapped open and closed. Choose a bra in a smooth, soft material for optimal comfort during the first weeks where your skin may be especially sensitive. Or select one with a lace trim for those days that need a little something extra. Some bras have adjustable bands and straps, while others are made in a stretchy, soft material that will accommodate the size fluctuations your body goes through during and after pregnancy. Make sure you choose one that doesn’t sit too tight around your ribcage, as tights straps and bands can cause tenderness and discomfort, as well as increase the risk of inflammation as milk ducts may be pinched. All bras are designed to be worn under our range of nursing tops and dresses for breastfeeding. and can be used during your pregnancy and beyond, making them a mindful addition to your maternity and nursing wardrobe.
