For most women, maternity shopping is a rite of passage, a mix of comfort finds, bump-friendly silhouettes, and more stretchy waistbands than you ever thought you'd own. But what happens when the baby arrives?
If your instinct is to fold up all those soft co-ords and hospital gowns and push them to the back of the closet, pause. Because the best maternity wear? It doesn’t stop being useful postpartum.
Here’s why your pregnancy wardrobe deserves a second life, and how some thoughtful Indian brands, like Block Hop, are making sure it does.
Co-ords Make the Perfect Postpartum Uniform
Those buttery-soft two-piece sets you lived in during pregnancy? They still work. New moms need comfort, and a little coordination never hurts on zero-sleep days. Especially when the sets are made from breathable, skin-friendly fabrics like bamboo cotton. Block Hop’s lounge co-ords double up beautifully as postpartum staples, making dressing feel effortless again.
Wrap Dresses Are Nursing MVPs
A good wrap dress is a postpartum multitasker. Whether you’re breastfeeding, lounging at home, or stepping out with your baby in tow, the easy-access front and adjustable waist are your best friends. The dresses that served you during your second trimester — like Block Hop’s signature wrap gowns, adapt effortlessly to your new routine (and your new body).
Hospital Gowns = Midnight Heroes
Yes, really. That hospital gown you wore during delivery? Don’t toss it. It’s roomy, soft, and ideal for newborn nights when you’re up every two hours. Look for ones with discreet openings or tie-ups, the kind designed for ease, not just aesthetics. Block Hop’s open-front, bamboo hospital gowns have quietly become a favorite for postpartum comfort.
Bamboo Bottoms Deserve a Permanent Spot
If you haven’t tried bamboo cotton pants, you’re missing out. Over-bump joggers and flared pants aren’t just for pregnancy, they’re the pants you’ll wish you had discovered earlier. Think: pyjama-level comfort with actual style. Block Hop’s bamboo basics are especially kind on postpartum skin that’s healing or extra sensitive.
Clothes That Stretch With You Matter
The truth is, postpartum isn’t a fashion pause, it’s a whole new chapter. And your clothes should move with you, not against you. That’s why brands like Block Hop are designing with intention: soft seams, versatile cuts, and forgiving fits that feel as relevant post-baby as they did during pregnancy.
Before You Box It Up…
Take another look at your maternity wardrobe. You might just find that the pieces that supported you through pregnancy are the ones that will carry you through motherhood, too.
