Sleepless nights are part of the new mum chapter, but what you wear during them can make a quiet difference. When you're up at 2am for a feed (again), comfort matters. And if you're breastfeeding, easy access is a must.
Here’s what to look for in pyjamas that support you during the fourth trimester and why so many new mums are choosing bamboo.
1. Choose breathable, natural fabrics
After birth, your body is still adjusting. Hormones are shifting, temperatures can fluctuate, and night sweats are common. Natural fabrics are far more breathable than synthetic blends, helping you stay cool and dry during disrupted sleep.
Why bamboo?
Bamboo viscose is naturally moisture-wicking, breathable, and thermoregulating. It feels like a cross between silk and cotton. It's basically luxuriously soft without the upkeep. Many new mums say it’s the only fabric that feels gentle enough on sore or sensitive skin.
2. Opt for nursing-friendly designs
If you're breastfeeding, you’ll need sleepwear that allows for easy, fuss-free access. Especially in the middle of the night, so always look for button-down pyjama tops.
Our PLUSH Luxury bamboo pyjama sets come in both short and long sleeve styles, with functional buttons designed for night feeds so you can stay cosy without having to undress.
3. Prioritise comfort (and softness)
Even if you’re not breastfeeding, your sleepwear should feel like a soft hug. Tight elastic, scratchy seams or stiff cotton will only add irritation.
Our PLUSH bamboo pyjamas are:
-
Hypoallergenic (perfect for post-birth sensitivity)
-
Soft enough to wear all day
-
Gentle on C-section scars
- Loose fitting in all the right places
We designed our loungewear to feel like home, even when everything else is changing.
4. Look for styles you want to wear
In the haze of early motherhood, your sleepwear often becomes your daywear. Choose something you feel good in, whether you're curled up on the sofa or answering the door to visitors.
PLUSH sets are elegant enough to double as loungewear, so you don’t need to change just to feel “presentable.”
5. Don’t forget the little luxuries
You deserve to feel like you, even in the hardest weeks. Choosing a beautiful fabric, a soothing colour, or a personalised detail is a small way to feel nurtured and grounded.
Because sleepwear isn’t just about sleep - it’s about softness, comfort, and self-care in a season that’s often anything but.
