LOUNGEWEAR FOR NEW MOMS

Welcome your guests in some stylishly comfy gear when they come to meet the baby

- BY STYLE CONSULTANT PIPPA J

You’re home with your new baba, and everybody wants to come and say “Hi” and meet the new bundle of joy. These visits can sometimes feel a little overwhelmi­ng as you’re still finding your feet with your new baby. You’re probably not even managing to get into the shower most mornings, never mind having the headspace or time to bother about how to make yourself look socially acceptable for visitors. Looking good falls way down your list of priorities when you have a hungry baby crying for milk, or to be burped or to be held! Not to mention the fact that your boobs have taken on a life of their own. The last thing you want to be stressing about is trying to find an outfit that is not only comfortabl­e but also practical.

Being able to reach for your clothes easily and without thinking too much about what to wear with what is essential. My advice to you? Allocate a space in your cupboard for clothes that you can wear during this time – almost like a mini wardrobe that is your go-to for at least that first month after having your baby.
