I never thought I’d be here this spring, still breastfeeding. I never thought I’d be breastfeeding a toddler, full stop. But here we are, still breastfeeding at nearly two and a half years old. My poor tired boobs are probably ready to stop but my feisty tot is determined the time hasn’t come yet, so on we soldier. This means that, yet again, I’m tied to breastfeeding outfits for spring this season. Dresses with buttons, pinafores, tops and skirts or my faithful culottes – if it has easy boob access then I’m in.
Seeing as trawling the internet for breastfeeding outfits for spring has been my most recent obsession, I thought I may as well share some of my finds with you in a post. So here we go…
Denim look dress, John Lewis, £79 | Evangeline dress, John Lewis, £65 | Denim dress, white stuff, £49.95
In my opinion, you can’t beat a bit of denim. I particularly love a denim dress at this time of year, when it’s not quite warm enough to wear anything too light and flippy but (sometimes) too hot for full on jeans and jumpers. A denim dress sits somewhere in the middle. Plus, you can wear them with tights. However, as much as I love the denim numbers above, I think the red Evangeline dress in the middle has to be my favourite. I love the loose cut – this will be perfect for holiday. The cut is also really flattering, ideal if (like me) you’d prefer not to draw attention to a less than toned set of non-existent abs.
Carys pop-over tunic, Joules, £59.95 | Tie front stripe top by Warehouse at House of Fraser, £29 | Crossover striped blouse, Zara, £29.99
The top I’m wearing in the very top picture is this one by Joules and I love it. It’s a patterned harbour print and adds a lovely spring splash of colour to a pair of jeans (you can see it in action in this post too). Joules have some beautiful tops in at the moment, full of colour and pretty floral patterns which seem so fitting for this time of year. While we’re on the subject of Breton stripes and harbour prints, I ADORE this top at Joanie Clothing. It’s definitely going to be ordered and packed for our trip to Paris next month!
All of these tops would go well with a pair of jeans – skinny, boyfriend, cropped, whatever. Or when the weather gets warmer a midi skirt or a pair of culottes. I love the fact they cover the tops of the arms which makes them better for the inbetween weather we’re likely to have here in the UK for some time yet.
Which is your favourite?
P.S. If you’re interested in my (very honest) thoughts about breastfeeding a toddler, then you can watch this video I made on the subject over on my YouTube channel.
P.P.S. HAPPY FRIDAY!!

I haven’t breastfed for about 4 years – is it OK to still want ALL of these?!
Completely agree with you on this being the season of the denim dress! Hats off to you on the breastfeeding too.
love all of these, but especially enjoying the red dress and the darker denim one!
I love the first denim dress from JL! Might have to snap that one up myself!
Gorgeous isn’t it?!
Oh I love these, especially those denim dresses! I’m struggling with nice outfits that are bf friendly now the weathers getting warmer so will definitely be checking these out xx
Me too! Which is why I’ve been obsessively searching! xx
