I was given the opportunity to try a new brand of clothing, specifically for breastfeeding mothers, by 1 Hip Mom.  I have never had a shirt made for nursing, I have always used the one shirt up/one shirt down method when nursing my babes, so this was an interesting experience for me.  The color choices of the shirts I found exciting for my mainly black wardrobe, and chose a gorgeous purple shade called PLUM.  I am a plus size woman and usually feel most comfortable in a size 2X, and was disappointed that size wasn't available.  Instead I chose a XL and when I put it on I felt that it was very true to size.  There is 5% spandex in the shirt so it hugged my curves and I think under my cardigan, it worked out for the most part.  The structure of the shirt made it very easy to discreetly lift the shirt and place baby to breast.  I found that having a nursing shirt, like the ones made by 1 Hip Mom, as part of your breastfeeding wardrobe is valuable because it makes things a little easier for mom.  You can't argue with things being easier!  Visit  http://1hipmom.com/ to find out more about the nursing clothing that's available!

Here's a pic of me wearing my T-shirt by 1HipMom with my brand new babe!
