Nursing Tops Australia - Breastfeeding Tops for Every Occasion
A great nursing top makes breastfeeding in public easier, more discreet, and more comfortable - so you can feed your baby wherever you are without compromise. The right top has discreet feeding access built in, meaning you can nurse without exposing your torso and without drawing attention. At Peekaboo Baby we stock a range of nursing tops for Australian breastfeeding mums, from everyday casual styles to smarter options for work or outings. Combine with a well-fitted nursing bra for the best support and access combination, and explore our nursing covers if you prefer extra privacy while feeding.
Our nursing tops are designed to work through both pregnancy and the breastfeeding period, making them excellent value. Many feature double-layer fronts or built-in shelf bras that provide light support while keeping feeding simple. Pair with maternity pants or your favourite jeans for a pulled-together look that works from the school run to a cafe catch-up with friends. Browse our full nursing clothes and maternity clothing ranges for complete postpartum wardrobe options.
What to look for in nursing tops
- Feeding access design - Look for wrap fronts, crossover styles, lift-up layers, or clip-down built-in shelf bras. The easier the access, the smoother feeds will be - especially for newborns who feed frequently.
- Coverage - Double-layer or panel designs keep your back and tummy covered while you lift the top layer to feed, so you do not feel exposed.
- Stretch and recovery - Jersey knit fabrics that bounce back after stretching during feeds are ideal. Avoid stiff fabrics that do not flex easily.
- Breathable fabric - Cotton, bamboo, and modal blends feel gentle against sensitive postpartum skin and help regulate temperature during feeds.
- Style versatility - Tops that look good dressed up or down give you more options from your capsule wardrobe.
- Easy care - Machine washable tops are essential when feeding a newborn. Look for fabrics that hold their shape after repeated washing.

Nursing Tops - Frequently Asked Questions
Nursing tops have discreet access built into the design. Common styles include lift-up double layers (you lift the outer layer while the inner panel stays down for coverage), crossover fronts (pull one side aside), wrap styles (untie or unclip), and built-in shelf bras with clip-down cups. All allow feeding without removing the top or exposing your torso.
Many nursing tops are designed to work during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Stretchy fabrics accommodate the bump, and the nursing access features simply are not used during pregnancy but are there when needed postpartum. They are a great investment for the full pre and post birth period.
Nursing tops make feeding significantly easier and more discreet, especially in public. Regular tops require lifting the whole top, which can feel exposing. Nursing tops are designed so you can feed with minimal clothing adjustment and maximum coverage - a big practical win for feeding mums.
Look for nursing tops in solid colours or subtle prints that fit the workplace dress code. Wrap styles and structured crossover tops tend to look the most professional while still offering easy access. Pair with a good nursing bra for the best combination of support and convenience.
Most nursing tops are machine washable on a gentle cycle. Wash in cold or warm water and avoid tumble drying at high heat to preserve the stretch in the fabric. Follow the care label instructions, particularly for bamboo and modal blends which may require more gentle treatment.
