What to Wear to Postpartum and Breastfeeding Appointments

The weeks after delivery bring a lot of appointments, often with a baby in your arms. Clothing that opens easily at the chest makes those visits simpler.

Gowns and Shirts to Consider

  • The GIV SOLO Shirt has one arched chest window that you open partly or fully for an exam or breastfeeding. Your lower-body clothing stays on.
  • The GIV Forward closes down the front with magnets or snaps, and it also works for breastfeeding and recovery.
  • The GIV Forward Shirt offers the same front access at shirt length, worn with your own lower-body clothing.

A Note for Your Hospital Bag

Ask your care team before delivery whether you can wear your own gown, and when. They will tell you what works for your care and for your facility.

Follow the care label, wash it at home, and have it ready for the next visit.

Find your gown by visit.
