That first dress is so perfect for you!!

I went up and down several sizes throughout the last two years due to mental health reasons and I so agree, it is so difficult saying goodbye to favorite pieces all the time. Most of my clothes are second hand so I was feeling a bit less bad going in and out of the charity shop and exchanging clothes again and again. But some pieces I altered, because I didn't want to let go. ❤

The thing that drove me mad in pregnancy and now in my early breastfeeding journey is the fact that you have to order clothes online because none of the high street stores have any clothes in store to try on… Given how much my body has changed, I have no idea what size I need, and having to send loads of clothes back has been really disheartening. I’ve now found a couple of tops I’m happy with for BF on Amazon, but I’m yet to find trousers that are comfy and loose enough while also being slightly flattering (and not leggings!)

Great talk, I share a lot of yours observations, great vibe, I loved to watch your conversation after another day of parenting.❤ I was really good in shopping clothes for myself online before baby, now I need to try everything on, and sending some items back is another thing that you have to remember about.Body is constantly changing postpartum and it is so hard to dress yourself in the way that is comfortable but also you still feel like a part od civilized world.

This!! This is the talk I long to have with other mums ❤ The understanding between two breastfeeding mums!! I literally cut up a big T-shirt in the middle because I couldn't find anything to sleep in that would cover my shoulders so I don't freeze 🥶

Omg I loved dungarees in that first year!! They can be structured and baggy at the same time and I need that structure to feel like a person. I relate to almost everything else in this convos though. I used to love floral dresses before and it does feel too mumsie when you have a baby or a young child... Which is so confusing too. That some things I used to love atheistically feel too soft for me as a mom now. Like I have to rebalance the kind of feminine/masculine vibe of my wardrobe.

Yes, I was surprised because this isn't normal. Most mothers I know get raises and earn more after children. At least the ones I know anyways in the UK.

I also bruised my ribs when starting using underwired bras again! Post breastfeeding I don't fit my pre pregnancy bra anymore. So for mother's Day this year my husband took me to a bra shop to get an entirely new bra wardrobe 😱 sports bras, sexy bras, bralettes, tshirt bras, the lot. It's so nice to have bras that fit properly again and hold my boobs up and make them look good again. As comfy as my maternity stuff was, I didn't feel as good as I do with my underwires for day to day

Keep some basic clothes of every size.

Love seeing you two together. I found Mel through the vlog you once did on the set of an Erica Lust production. It’s so cool to see you through different stages of life, growing up together

Am I the only one here thinking it's harder to dress when breastfeeding than being pregnant? 😅

As for sustainable Nursing wear, I found a brand called Milchshake. It is organic and made in Germany. They have Hoodies with diagonally blocked colours and between the colours are zips. They look great and nobody expects them to be nursing specific!

I'm 3 months into my breastfeeding journey with my little girl and it only occurred to me today that we will have a last feed and I'll most likely know when it happens that it's the last time😢 thanks for being so honest about these complicated feelings and congrats on successful weaning 🎉

I haven’t breastfed for 1.5 years but I’m struggling to see any reason to ditch my nursing bralets to go back to my old underwired ones 😂 They’re sooo comfortable. Not a Primark girlie in general but I got my nursery bralets from there and they are a great budget friendly option.

I am 3 months pregnant right now & I KNOW I am going to be returning to this video after my sweet baby is born. I loved this chat & learned so much while also feeling like the friend who is in the room with you two. Thank you ladies for this ❤️

I ended up pumping way more than breastfeeding, and I have been living in my 3 pumping bras for months. Don’t know what I’d do without them.

I’m almost 34 weeks pregnant with my second and so aware that my self esteem last time was linked to how I looked and whether I’d made an effort (for myself) to look presentable. Just bought a few comfy but nice looking loungewear items so I feel less slobby and hopefully feel nice!

Resonated with a lot of this with a Vinted order sat downstairs of baby clothes and a breastfeeding friendly top! Currently breastfeeding an 8 week old while watching. I’m on the hunt for essentially a new wardrobe that is not just summer and breastfeeding friendly (agree on not being so keen on button downs and faffing with a tent over my head etc) but also sling friendly ie just boob access at the boob… Some more thoughts: - please can a brand make mum and me tops that are in the cute patterns the snazzy baby clothes are in? Like not garish but just not sooooo boring!?! - please can breastfeeding tops not be predominantly navy black or generally BORING. (Seraphine, I see you but needs to also not have me looking like I’m at a wedding or the office, softer materials and more playful!) - can everything not be striped!?!!! (Looking at you Jo Jo Mama!) - can someone make clothes that could work at soft play and be at least one of breastfeeding and maternity!?! - I’d love any ideas on a capsule wardrobe for this phase of life???!! I am just trying to buy things that work for bumps and boobs and buy high quality but second hand (thank you Vinted) but there isn’t loads about as Seraphine is still relatively new. - please can the brands use good quality material and breathable stuff so it works for the demands of childcare and can be passed or sold on and not end up in landfill (looking at you Shein, more colourful but poor fitting and polyester)

The point where you mentioned about shoes not fitting anymore spoke to me! I have a few pairs of shoes/boots that I love but my feet are bigger since having my son 2 yrs ago and they no longer fit. I'm gutted!

What another great colab! Loved it x

Mel, if you’re a C, then my C’s are an AA😅😅

Please have a podcast I could listen to you two all day

I am not a parent and not planning to be any time soon but content like this is so helpful for getting more understanding of what my parent friends might be going through or feeling. Love it ❤

Washed this throughout the night feeds ❤

Team big boobs here 🙋‍♀️ I'm breastfeeding a nearly 5 month old and coming into winter in Australia I watched your autumn/winter video to be prepared 😅 I use the singlet underneath tip so my midsection stays warmer and it covers my belly which helps me feel more secure 😁

My wfh game changer was to have a bunch of laptop chargers, I have one at my actual desk hooked up to the monitor dock, and also one at the dining table and one at the couch lol. And then I have another that I keep wrapped up neatly that I can throw in a bag if I take my laptop out. You could probably get away with just the one extra but it is really nice to not have to think about it, just plug it in wherever

The body neutrality in this conversation was 🤌🏾

why have kids and work i hate work and kids

So like when are you starting a podcast together because I could listen to you two chat together for hours

Would live a video on not wearing makeup anymore.

I always like your collaborative videos , but this really said For You! ❤

The one-handed nursing bra struggle is real! If you can’t undo it with one hand it’s a terrible nursing bra.

Petition to make a Melannah podcast??

💖

This was so well timed! I just had to thrift maternity clothes today :) Love this chat :)

I don’t even know who you are 😂😂😂 Who are you ?😊

This is such a good conversation. I am extremely lucky in that my personal style was already pretty much exclusively “matching jogger and hoodie set in a fun color with chunky sneakers” which is ideal for my current phase of life (mom to an unbelievably active almost-eight-month-old gal who can *walk and climb stairs* send help.) And even still, I totally had to deal with this postpartum when I constantly felt like a milk, sweat and spitup covered mess and was always wearing my husband’s t-shirts, ugly pj pants and the messiest possible messy bun. Taking the five minutes to put my hair in a nicer style, throw on more elevated comfy clothes, and maybe apply some eyebrow pencil makes me feel instantly accomplished and is so motivating for the day.

I love ur fashion style Hannah and Melanie! 🌹💛💛🌹💖💖💘💗💗💗💘🌈🌈💘🍄🪻🪻🌸💜💓🩵🩵🧡🧡❣️🩷❤️🩵💓🌸🪷🪷🌻🥀💙💞💗🌺💖💖🌹💛💗🌺💞💞🥀🌻💜💜💜🪻🍄🍄🌸🌸🍄💜💓💓🩵🧡🧡❣️🖤🩷🩷🩷🪷💙💙🩵🩵🩵🩵💓💜💛

I appreciate SO much how you always use the correct anatomy word for everything, in a time where we always hear modified terms (I guess for monetization? or prudishness?) it's so refreshing

Investing in a bunch of Black Milk clothing turned out to be a massive win for me. I have Crohn's and I've had a baby so having a wardrobe of stretchy nylon has been amazing. It's so comfortable and really accommodating, even with breastfeeding and changing sizes. These days I am trying to lean more towards secondhand and eco stuff but it is great that I've been able to wear the same things for many years without having to keep changing every time my body changes.

Thanks for showing where the zips are on your breastfeeding dresses! So useful

Clip down tops are soooo helpful! A button dress or just a top and trousers over it

Loved this! You might also enjoy Hannah Louise Poston's video on dressing for a changing body 👌👌

My feet getting bigger is the thing I’m most upset about. Not only is replacing them super expensive but my feet widened and finding shoes that fit is almost impossible.

Who da fuck is this

I love wearing skirts, but also I wanna roll around on the floor without exposing my underwear.

I love the stretchy seraphine breastfeeding dresses - they have really good boob access and coverage. And they were very close to my usual style too.
