Choose loose and flowing or thick fabrics. Cottons and synthetic fabrics will stand up the best to leakage, while silk and linen are easily stained beyond repair. Clingy materials will end up showing the outline of your breast pads, nipples or nursing bras. Wear fabrics that have a bright or dark print for more formal occasions. Leakage on printed blouses shows through far less obvious and quickly than leakage on solids.
Prints also help to hide the outline of nursing bras, pads and nipples.
Whites and pale colors are the most revealing and should be avoided. Wait on those pre-pregnancy clothes items. Trying to squeeze into your pre-pregnancy wardrobe may not only be impossible, but depressing. Most likely you are at least a few pounds heavier, and clothes that strain with popping buttons are unflattering on any woman. Make button front blouses and pullovers a staple of your wardrobe.
