Nursing Dress

I've been invited to 3 weddings this summer. I'll be bringing the baby along as the events are long and I need to nurse. ... Could you help me find a nursing friendly and wallet friendly dress that could be styled for 3 weddings? —Marie

I haven't faced this challenge yet as a nursing mom, however, I'll be attending a wedding in September and need to find something nursing-friendly, too. So I turned to the members of my mommy group for advice. The response was overwhelmingly in favor of the ever-important wrap dress! Others suggested a low v-neck dress, or even a strapless style that could be pulled down. I'm thinking separates are a good idea, too, especially with matching sets being so on-trend at the moment.

My awesome mommy friends also recommended Dress Barn, Kohl's and Motherhood Maternity as affordable options for finding nursing-friendly dresses. Whatever you choose, be sure to try it on first. Just experiment in the dressing room to see what will work. Here are some options I found online:
