When you’re preparing for a new baby, it seems like there are tons of things to buy. Sometimes in an effort to save some dough, new moms skimp on things for themselves, like sleepwear. Take it from a mom who knows, if there’s anything that brings your life some extra comfort during those last weeks of pregnancy and first weeks of motherhood (and nursing), it’s nice sleepwear.
