Breastfeeding Must-Have - the Arden Bra by the Dairy Fairy

I returned to work 3 weeks ago, and it has not been easy. My little guy is 4 months, and while he *can* sleep through the night, sometimes he still needs a feed halfway through the night.  Although it is always hard to leave him in the morning, I am so lucky that he is being watched by his adoring grandparents during the day.
I work in LA and live in the OC.  Including my commute, I'm away from my baby for 12 hours a day!  I pump while at work, and this bra has been awesome.  It has made the entire process so much easier and efficient.  I consider the Arden Bra to be a "Must-Have" for any working mom, and have already recommended it to all my friends!

While at home, my Simple Wishes Hands Free Breastpump Bra works well enough.
But the bulky bustier is not something I would wear under my work clothes!  I try to wear something that I don't have to take off in order to pump - ie. dresses or tops with a stretching cowl or crossover (wrap) neckline.

The Arden bra is not only functional, it is beautiful (as far as nursing bras go!).  It is also very comfortable. The adjustable front close allows you to modify the size based on how full your breasts are feeling at a given moment.   You can use it as a hands free breast pump bra, but it also works well as a nursing bra. You can also simultaneously nurse and pump!
