The Best Nursing Nightgown, Robe, and Pajama Sets

The best nursing sleepwear should have a three key elements: accessibility, comfort, and style.

Accessibility: Breastfeeding mothers usually buy nursing pajamas for easy nipple access. Look for options with clasps, stretchy necklines, and compatibility with your nursing bra. Bonus points if the sleepwear has moisture-wicking fabric to soak up leaks and dribbles! (But make sure to choose something that survives laundry machines, too).

Comfort: Since you sleep in nursing pajamas, they should be cozy and comfortable. Elastic waistbands, forgiving fits, and seasonally-appropriate fabric make all the difference!

Style: While nursing sleepwear is inherently practical, you still want to look stylish. Many of our picks have playful patterns, vibrant colors, flattering shapes, and other fashionable features.

The Davy pajama set from Kindred Bravely has hundreds of five star reviews – and for good reason. Its super-soft viscose fabric is comfortable, lightweight, and perfect for warm summer nights. As a bonus, the ruched top lets you nurse your child two ways: pulling down the stretchy fabric or lifting up the overlying top layer. Choose from eight color choices and seven sizes, ranging from X-small to XXX-large. $49.99
