It has buttons down the front so you can nurse without taking off your top, and there's a panel underneath so even if you leave the buttons undone, you won't be exposed. You can pair this top with leggings if you want even more coverage. This nightgown comes in black and gray stripes, or eggplant and gray stripes in sizes XS-3X for about $65.

The skirt flows out from an elastic empire waist and hits at the knee. This gown is available in black, two muted greens, a dusty blue, a tan floral print, and a peach with pink print in sizes S-XXL for about $70.

Nurse in Comfort
Your primary concern when choosing pajamas should be comfort, followed by style. Many of the designs you'll find are in soft fabrics such as cotton, which will be soft next to your and your baby's delicate skin. You don't have to sacrifice fashion for function, however; there are plenty of pajama styles that are not only functional, but pretty enough to lounge around in. Sleep, relax and bond with your baby in style.
