Consider this dilemma: It's your first family outing and your baby wants to nurse...and while ordinarily, you'd make it work right there and then (whether you're comfortable doing it out in the open or would prefer to cover up, you do you, Mama!), you realize you've hit a bit of a snag. You're wearing a dress and, save for pulling the whole thing up around your neck, there's really no great way to get the baby to the breast.

Dressing during the postpartum period can be a challenge, particularly for breastfeeding mamas. Our tip? Invest in a few pieces that can make breastfeeding your babe on demand a bit easier — particularly a few dresses, which will allow you to feel put-together and stylish without sacrificing ease of access when feeding your baby. These seven picks are easy to wear, flattering, and (best of all!) make nursing a bit easier. And really, anything that makes new mom life easier is worth its weight in gold, isn't it?

PinkBlush Burgundy Striped Button-Up Midi Maternity Dress ($25)

This one does double duty: It's bump-friendly enough to be worn through your pregnancy, and the simple henley style makes this one a breastfeeding mom's dream dress. We love the midi length (so perfect for chilly days or wearing at the office) and adore how well this transitions from pregnancy to early motherhood.

Ted Baker Kwyli Structured Peplum Dress ($315)

Who says you can't find a piece that's both dressy and practical enough for a new mama? The classic (and sexy!) little red dress gets nursing-friendly treatment here thanks to the zipper detail. Break this one out for a cocktail party or even a semi-formal wedding.

Lou & Grey Cozy Plaid Pocket Shirtdress ($79.50)

Comfy, casual, perfect for fall, and totally new-mom-friendly. We love this breezy number, which would feel soft and lovely against your baby's cheek...and all you have to do is pop a few of the top buttons to breastfeed your baby.

Ingrid & Isabel Double Layer Midi Dress + Nursing ($88)

You really can't go wrong with a good T-shirt dress. This one is super versatile (rock it with sneakers for a casual Sunday morning, swap 'em out for wedges to jazz it up a bit). The double layer detail at the top makes the whole style: It stops right above the belly to put your bump on full display (so don't just save it for post-baby days!) and lifts up for easy nursing access in the postpartum period.
