Many breastfeeding moms look for comfortable clothing with easy nursing and pumping access, soft fabrics, and styles that work for everyday life at home and on the go.

Many moms find nursing clothes helpful because they provide easier access for breastfeeding while offering more comfort, coverage, and convenience than regular clothing.

In a Nursing Queen survey of 113 breastfeeding moms, hidden zipper access was one of the most preferred nursing access styles for breastfeeding in public. Many moms said they preferred discreet access that felt comfortable, practical, and easy to use while still looking like regular everyday clothing.

Many pumping moms prefer clothing with discreet breastfeeding access, stretchy fabrics, and pumping-friendly designs that work with wearable or traditional breast pumps. Nursing Queen designs all of its styles to work with breast pumps.

Soft, breathable fabrics like cotton are popular choices for breastfeeding clothing because they help moms feel cooler and more comfortable throughout the day. In a Nursing Queen survey of 84 breastfeeding moms, 71% said cotton was their preferred fabric for comfort, breathability, and everyday wear.

Many nursing clothes are designed to look like regular everyday clothing, making them wearable during pregnancy, postpartum, breastfeeding, and beyond.

Nursing Queen was started by breastfeeding mom and former TV reporter Quinn Reitz after struggling to find nursing clothes that felt stylish, comfortable, and practical for real everyday life. The goal was to create breastfeeding-friendly clothing with discreet nursing and pumping access that moms could feel confident wearing well beyond the postpartum stage.
