A nursing nightgown can make such a difference, especially in the early days while Mom and Baby are working to establish a successful breastfeeding relationship. It's so much easier to quickly feed a hungry babe when your clothes accomodate that, and this nightgown most certainly will. Slits on both sides are concealed by a center pleat; having done extensive testing through our collective years of breastfeeding, we at NearSea prefer this style over other options for nursing nighties.

If you plan a hospital birth, take a nursing gown with you; you'll be glad for it when people you've never met before bustle in and out of your room with minimal warning, and you'll love how easy it is to bring your baby oh-so-close. If you're birthing at home, make sure there's a nursing gown or two in your drawer so you can snuggle up with your new babe and comfortably nurse at will. Quick and relatively easy to make, this nursing nightgown is something no new mom should be without.

This pattern, KwikSew 3327, is designed for stretch knits only with 20% stretch across the grain. Kwik-Sew suggests interlock, single knit, pointelle jersey.

The pullover gowns have scoop necklines with a self-fabric neckband, and a front pleat that conceals two nursing openings. View A has full-length sleeves. View B is sleeveless and armholes are finished with self-fabric bands.
