I remember in the months before I gave birth to Rafa, I was looking for nursing wear all over the city, and it was so difficult to find anything! I bought a few shirts from Mommy Matters, but other than that, the stores had very very sparse selections.

Fast forward 18 months, and now there are so many choices for Metro Manila-based nursing moms! Earlier today, I dropped by Au Lait, a newly opened maternity and nursing wear store along Wilson St. in Greenhills (across Dita Sandico-Ong's showroom). It's owned by Audrey Uy, a high school batchmate of mine, and I was gushing over the sophisticated tops and dresses that she sells (under the Singaporean brand Mothers En Vogue). I was delighted that many of the outfits work both as maternity wear as well as nursing wear, prompting me to tell Audrey that I wish I were pregnant all over again, just so I could buy some new maternity outfits!

A few weeks ago, I also just bought a few nursing clothes from Spoiled! Store along Escriva Drive. Our Pinoybaby Store cloth diaperig products are now available at Spoiled! Store, so I'm there pretty often to check on inventory. The thing is, my regular trips there have become shopping trips as well; whenever I'm there, I end up spending some time in the dressing room, trying on at least one outfit (or, as with the last time, eight outfits!). The store carries casual wear from Mamaway, Mommy Matters, and Spoiled!, and slightly more dressy wear from Plume.

So if you're expecting or nursing, lucky you! This is a great time to be a fashionista expecting/nursing mom!
