When you are pregnant or feeding, the comfiest thing you own is often what you sleep in. Our maternity sleepwear centres on soft, stretchy nursing singlets that move with your bump and give easy access for night feeds, so you are not wrestling with your clothes at 3am. Cut from gentle, breathable fabric with built-in nursing support, these tanks work just as well lounging around the house as they do in bed. Whether you are after a maternity singlet for the third trimester or a nursing tank for the early weeks with your baby, these are made to keep you comfortable when rest matters most.
Why Nursing Singlets Work for Sleep and Feeding
A nursing singlet earns its place because it does two jobs at once. It gives you the light, everyday support of a soft crop or shelf bra, and it opens for feeding, so you can nurse or express without getting fully undressed. That matters most overnight and in the early weeks, when anything that makes a feed quicker and easier is worth its weight.
The soft, stretchy cut is designed to sit comfortably over a changing bump and bust, without a rigid underwire digging in while you sleep or rest. They also layer well under a cardigan or robe around the house, so a good one tends to become something you reach for all day, not just at night. Ours come from Cake Maternity, a specialist in comfortable feeding pieces.
Fit and Care
The singlets come in standard sizes from small to extra large, and some are graded by bust as well, such as small B to DD or E to FF, so you can get closer support if you want it. As with most maternity pieces, it is worth choosing for comfort and a little room rather than sizing down. They are made from easy-care fabrics that wash and wear well through the busy newborn months.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a nursing singlet? It is a soft, stretchy tank top with built-in support and easy feeding access, either a drop-down cup or a pull-aside design, so you can nurse without taking it off. They are worn day and night through pregnancy and while feeding.
Can I sleep in a nursing singlet? Yes, that is exactly what they are made for. They give gentle support without a rigid wire, and the feeding access makes night feeds much easier, so you can settle back to sleep faster.
Do you have maternity nighties or nightdresses? This particular collection is nursing singlets and tanks rather than nighties. For nightdresses, chemises and robes, have a look at our lingerie sleepwear range, which carries those styles.
