After you have had a baby, your body will still take some time to get back into its regular shape, your breasts will also be much larger, and you will need proper accommodating pajamas.
The best postpartum pajamas offer a comfortable and accommodating fit for postpartum and allow for easy breastfeeding access.
Why You Need Postpartum Pajamas
Out of all the items you have registered for or placed on your list for a baby, you should remember your own needs as a mother.
Your old pajamas or T-Shirts will not be the most comfortable thing for you to sleep or lounge in, with your body changes and nursing a baby during the night and day.
You will need proper and comfortable pajamas, especially for this time, right after the baby is born.
Breastfeeding your baby is essential to their growth and development and is the best you can offer them. However, this may become very difficult in constricting Pajamas that don’t allow your baby easy access to your breasts.
One of the first things to consider is pajamas with a design or button-down closure, making breastfeeding much easier and more convenient for you.
On the other hand, your tummy will still be pretty swollen, and you may have had a C-Section which means you have a painful wound that will not be comfortable in tight pajama bottoms.
Opt for pajama bottoms with an adjustable drawstring closure or a comfortable loose elastic waist.
All in all, loose-fitting and breathable pajamas are ideal for this time.
The question that I always get time on is whether loose or larger size regular pajamas are okay. In this case, yes and no, you can lift a pajama top for breastfeeding but keep in mind your whole tummy will be exposed, and you will have extra materials in the way. On the other hand, a larger fit button-down pajama set can also be suitable.
Types of Postpartum Pajamas
These are some Pajama types I find quite acceptable for postpartum wear;
- Lounge Dress – A lounge dress is a loose-fitting pajama dress with stretchable and breathable fabric. These Pajamas are ideal for warmer weather, and the straps can usually be pulled down for breastfeeding, although some do come with a flap option.
- Pajama Sets – Specific maternity and Nursing pajama sets will cater to all your postpartum needs. The bottoms offer a generous fit, while the top has a design with double layers for breastfeeding.
Features of Good Postpartum Pajamas
- Materials – Look for soft, breathable, and comfortable fabric pajama materials for post-partum Pajamas. Cotton, bamboo, and rayon are excellent natural fabrics, while polyester and fleece are ideal synthetic materials.
- Comfort – The design needs to be loose and comfortable, with easy on-and-off pull-on or button-up designs. For easy wear, you can look for bottoms with an elastic waistband or a drawstring closure. The top must have a double layer or button-down design for easy breasts.
- Fit – Make sure you get a perfect size and fit; most Pajama models offer standard and plus-size options. The fit should be loose and flowing with no tight areas. It should stretch and accommodate your movements.
- Style – Sleepwear for Postpartum comes in different designs for winter and summer, with cooler shorts and short sleeves for summer and long sleeves and bottoms for winter and colder weather. You also get pull-on and button-down styles.
- Easy Care – Pajamas need convenient and easy care. Please be sure to look for machine-washable options that are also quick-drying.
