The holiday season is rapidly approaching, and along with it, some colder weather. Although you’ve probably purchased everything needed to keep your baby warm and snug during the winter months, you’ll also want to make sure you’ve prepared yourself by stocking up on Kindred Bravely’s Cozy Essentials. These items guarantee comfort, and they make great gifts for any pregnant or nursing mama. Since every mom—especially a new one—deserves a little something to make her feel pampered and appreciated, this is the perfect opportunity to spread the love!

Check out our must-have cozy items below and see what Shantel (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and mama of three) is packing for her holiday travels!

The Maya Nursing Wrap Cardigan

The Maya will quickly become a staple in any expectant or nursing mama’s wardrobe. This comfortable, lightweight top can be worn over a tank as both an open-front cardigan and a wrap-style sweater. Transforming this piece is a breeze; snaps on both shoulders create your preferred look in a matter of seconds. An added bonus, there’s a hood to keep you extra warm on a chilly day!

For the perfect nursing outfit, wear this wrap over the Simply Sublime Nursing Tank or the Hands-Free Pumping & Nursing Tank. Simply undo the Maya’s snaps, and the stretchy, gentle fabric serves as a built-in nursing cover.

The Clara Criss-Cross Nursing Top

You probably adore your infinity scarves, and now you can own an equally loveable infinity cardigan! Any expectant, postpartum, or breastfeeding mom is sure to love the Clara Top, a nursing shirt featuring a criss-cross design. Easy access openings and flowing fabric allow for discreet nursing. Plus, the soft material and roomy fit make this an extremely comfy option for the postpartum period.

Like the Maya, this top pairs well with the Simply Sublime Nursing Tank for a complete breastfeeding-friendly ensemble. Mix and match the colors of your Sublime Tank and Clara Top to ensure your nursing wardrobe is both comfortable and fashionable.

The Louisa Leggings

Every mom should own an amazing pair of leggings. Whether you’re pregnant, nursing, or beyond, the Louisas will make you feel right at home. Perfect for all occasions – hanging out with your little one, running errands, or having dinner with friends – these versatile leggings feature a high waistband that is both soft and stretchy to provide extra coverage for public nursing sessions. Available in black or charcoal grey, these flattering leggings can pair with just about any top!

For a super comfy outfit, wear the Louisas and your favorite nursing tank with the Maya Wrap, the Clara Criss-Cross Top, or, for warmer climates, the Sheer Cardigan Nursing Wrap or Simone Plaid Duster. You’ll be enveloped in pure coziness!

The Jane Maternity & Nursing Thermal Pajamas

Although these thermal pajamas are perfect for any mom – pregnant, nursing, or just seeking comfort – there’s a special feature for breastfeeding and pumping moms: a discreet panel in the top that makes feeding your baby a cinch.
