How are nursing sweatshirts designed?
Nursing sweatshirts are usually characterized by a loose fit and the use of additional, special solutions for nursing mothers. In the case of the extensive range offered by our Mamatu store, these are two discreet diagonal zippers on the chest – we have used this practical system in, for example, the CALM sweatshirt– or one longer covered zipper at the bust line, running horizontally, which you will find, among others, in the stylish model SOFTIE. Thanks to its loose fit, the sweatshirt is versatile, as it can be worn by both pregnant women with large bellies and women after childbirth - here, the extremely comfortable and cozy sweatshirt Cozy Black. The clothing will provide comfort for expectant and new mothers, and thanks to its convenience, it will certainly stay in the wardrobe for a long time. The cleverly designed solutions for feeding your baby are perfect for breastfeeding, and not just at home. Thanks to the sliders, the nursing mother has quick and easy access to her breasts, so by wearing a nursing bra under her sweatshirt, she will be able to satisfy her baby's hunger and thirst while maintaining complete privacy and a sense of comfort.
Several colors and styles to choose from
Anyone who thinks that pregnant women and nursing mothers have a limited choice of dedicated clothing is very much mistaken, because our range offers current and future mothers a wide selection of not only nursing sweatshirts, but also blouses and sweatshirt dresses, also designed for comfortable breastfeeding. We offer sweatshirts with hidden zippers in timeless, mainly sporty styles. Some models are more fitted thanks to elastic cuffs, but there are also loose-fitting options. Most of our sweatshirts have a practical hood – a great example is our bestseller Coolest mom ever - which additionally increases the thermal comfort of its wearer.
Fans of subdued bases will certainly appreciate the light Comfort Ecru, while for those looking for a touch of vibrant color, the pastel version in mint is the perfect choice. Of course, we haven't forgotten about fans of bold details – we've also prepared intriguing options with prints, such as the motivational Thought.
Is it worth investing in nursing sweatshirts?
For some mothers, nursing sweatshirts are a practical purchase, but only for the period of caring for an infant. However, our sweatshirts can be worn not only during breastfeeding, but also during pregnancy and long after giving birth. There are several reasons for this. First of all, we focus on a universal design that accommodates a large belly in advanced pregnancy, but also looks good on a slimmer figure.The loose fit does not cling to the body and allows for complete freedom of movement, which is extremely important not only when caring for an infant, but also – and perhaps especially – later on, when a young mother has to run after her toddler. Secondly, we do not compromise on the quality of our clothes. All products are OEKO-Tex certified, carefully sewn with attention to detail and made of heavyweight fabrics, which is why they withstand frequent washing and intensive use very well. Their timeless design is also an advantage. The lack of patterns makes the sweatshirts easy to combine with other items of clothing and always in fashion.
How to choose nursing sweatshirts?
Expectant and new mothers must choose nursing sweatshirts with both themselves and their babies in mind. After all, when carrying a baby or breastfeeding, a woman holds it close to her body. The baby's skin is in constant contact with the fabric of the mother's clothing, so it must be safe, suitably soft, and delicate. If a pregnant woman is choosing a sweatshirt for herself, she should also take into account the unique needs of her own skin, which is much more sensitive during this period. What should you look for before buying such clothing?
Size and style
Neither pregnant nor nursing mothers usually need to buy larger sizes when purchasing maternity clothes. Such outfits are adapted to the changes taking place in a woman's body and to the changing proportions of her figure, so they can easily accommodate a growing belly. Expectant mothers can therefore buy a sweatshirt in their usual size, and its cut will certainly “keep up” with the pace of their growing waistline. However, some attention should be paid to choosing the right style of clothing. If you prefer more fitted, body-hugging sweatshirts, go for a model with elastic, soft cuffs. If you value complete freedom of movement, choose a loose-fitting model that does not cling to the body. You can also match your sports sweatshirt with matching sweatpants. Such an outfit will be perfect for walking around the house, but also for everyday use, going for a walk or shopping.
Material
The best clothing for pregnant women, mothers, and babies is clothing made of cotton or fabrics in which cotton accounts for more than 90% of the material composition. This is because it is a natural, soft, pleasant to the touch, smooth, and therefore safe for sensitive skin. Cotton knits are also breathable, which means they allow air to pass through and prevent the skin from overheating. Another advantage is their hygroscopicity, i.e., their ability to absorb moisture from the surface of the skin. Cotton withstands washing well and is very durable.Importantly, in the context of infants, it is also referred to as hypoallergenic. Cotton clothing is therefore a good choice, but it is worth remembering that 100% cotton is not resistant to losing its shape. That is why our sweatshirts are made of cotton with added elastane, which makes the fibers resilient and elastic. This fabric better adapts to the shape of the body and ensures that the clothes retain their shape during wear and after washing. Style, pattern, color
Although design is a matter of taste, it is worth taking a moment to consider it if you want to choose a timeless sweatshirt that you will still feel comfortable wearing after you have finished breastfeeding. Our range includes hooded and hoodless sweatshirts, in plain colors, with prints and patterns. If you are looking for a sports sweatshirt for everyday wear, it is best to choose a sports model with a hood (Coolest Mom Ever, Cozy, Softie, Bliss). If you prefer a more feminine style of dressing, take a closer look at our sweatshirts in subdued colors. For women who find plain sweatshirts boring, we recommend models with prints, possibly with a print on the back (models: Sky, Art or Thouht). Sweatshirts for nursing mothers create a wardrobe that, contrary to appearances, can be used long after weaning. However, this is only possible if the clothing is of such high quality that it can withstand frequent washing. If you want to enjoy your sweatshirt for longer, choose one of the models available from Mamatu. We encourage you to check out our current promotions, as well as our range for children.
