By Cassandra Stone Updated May 30, 2024 Rectangle We independently select and share the products we love—and may receive a commission if you choose to buy. Let’s be honest, heat and hormones aren’t anyone’s idea of a fun summertime combo (not like, say, tequila and limes). If you’re a nursing mom, you’re going to want to wear comfy, cool clothing with easy boob access, right? Right. This list of the best breastfeeding dresses will carry you through the entire summer. Because babies eat. They eat ALL THE TIME. Round the clock. It doesn’t matter what your schedule looks like, where you’re going, or what you have to do—when it’s time for them to eat, you’ve gotta hustle and drop trou before the hangry screams kick in. And since you certainly aren’t spending your summer indoors at your baby’s beck and call, you need some quality nursing dresses that are cool, comfy, and cute enough for a picnic (or, who are we kidding, the grocery store).

An added bonus is that a lot of these nursing-friendly dresses below are pregnancy-friendly dresses too, so you don’t have to break the bank for items you’re only wearing for a single trimester. Seraphine Navy Stripe Maternity & Nursing Midi Dress • $62 Designed for both bump and baby, the stretch jersey Navy Stripe Maternity & Nursing Midi Dress from Seraphine is a great style for nursing on the sly. Just lift the top layer which conceals easy access and you’re good to go. We also love the side slit which makes movement easy and the wide straps that make it compatible with any nursing bra. SHOP SERAPHINE All Motion Zip-Front Mesh Active Dress • $30 There’s no law that says you actually have to hit the court in order to rock the season’s hottest trend: Pickleball chic. In fact, we think the moisture-wicking fabric, built-in shorts and move-with-you stretch make dresses like this one perfect for the sport of momming. Add in the zippered front and it’s incredibly nursing-friendly as well. SHOP TARGET Tuckernuck Lisbon Piped Sterling Tennis Dress • $128 If you’re more on the preppy end of the spectrum, we have to make sure the impossibly fresh Lisbon Piped Sterling Tennis Dress from Tuckernuck is on your radar.

SHOP LOVE, BONITO Storq Sleep Dress • $78 Don’t let the name fool you—this dress is versatile for ALL activities. You can sleep in it, yes, but you can also wear it around the house, run errands in it, or dress it up with a denim jacket or sweater for an evening party. It’s got a built-in shelf bra for support, lots of stretch, and clippable straps for nursing your plus one. SHOP STORQ Hatch The Softest Rib Nursing Tank Dress • $148 Hatch Collection pieces are an investment for sure, but their sophisticated and versatile silhouettes are designed for everyday wear through pregnancy, the fourth trimester and beyond.
