With all the hubbub about the baby, I’d just like to take a moment to share what is clearly not common enough knowledge on what is the appropriate, nay, ideal apparel post birth when you’re at home, recovering, and adjusting to the new joys of breastfeeding (which I will expound upon another time).
Yes with all seriousness, I’m saying that the Kung Fu silk pajamas are the BizOMB for at home, post birthing loungewear.
- The elastic or drawstring waistband is forgiving and gentle to your sensitive abdomen that is puffy, occasionally achey, and may still require a little generosity in fit.
- As far as pajamas go, since you’re spending days if not weeks in bed, this is both a fashionable and comfortable choice for day and evening.
- It’s loose-fitting enough for hiding the fact that you’re wearing industrial size maxi pads to soak up uterus juice.
- Button front snaps make it easily accessible for breast feeding on both sides without being cumbersome.
- Silk on sore or tender nipples is an extraordinarily kind textile.
- Most importantly, Dude. You look badass. Which might make you feel a little bit better about the massive hormonal mood swings and crazy adjustments going on your life now you have a little one.
To which my rhyme was inspired the other day.
Baby has Kung-fu Grip. On my Nip. With her Lower Lip.
I like to believe that Bruce Lee would have approved.
