Kindred Bravely Universal Labor and Delivery Gown for Birthing and Nursing

When I was recovering from delivery, as I lay in bed slowly starting to maybe feel sensation in my legs again, I knew I had to one day come back on Amazon and write this review. So after a few weeks of my baby being born and going down my list of orders, here it is: YA'LL NEED TO GET THIS GOWN NOW. It's seriously the best friend you never knew you needed in the delivery room with you. While my dear husband was sleeping away off to the side and I was in all kinds of pain, the velvety T-shirt softness of this gown kept me warm and comfortable on all sides. It was there for me right at the beginning when nurses needed to hook me to monitor my vitals and the baby's vitals, and it handled all the mess of labor and delivery, and then recovery. I didn't even bother to change out of this gown during my 2 1/2 day stay at the hospital; it is THAT good. I loved the easy access in the front to feed my baby or do skin-to-skin, and it was an ease to velcro it back after. On a less glorious note, it was also easy to keep the back partially opened since my chuck needed to be changed often due to the epidural/catheter shindig (just keeping it real, ya'll). I literally told my husband, "This 30-ish dollar velcro dress is WORTH IT!!!" I questioned the price tag before, but my goodness, unless you are making one yourself, BUY THIS. It's worth the comfort and hassle-free time when you're feeling your worst. There's my two cents, and I hope it's helpful!

Came earlier than expected, it looks exactly how it does online (the color, I got the lilac one) . I tried it on and I’m glad I went with the XL/XXL. I’m 5’6”, 213lbs, 34 weeks pregnant and I was going to get the one that was S/M/L but this one fits my big belly really well. It’s very comfortable. The top fits a little loose (big belly lol), however, I like that because I can easily do skin to skin once my baby gets here. I plan on wearing it during delivery. While I was browsing, I was wondering if the front had velcro strips for sure and if anyone else is confused it does lol. Front and back have velcro strips and the top that opens to breastfeed have plastic buttons. The fabric is soft and comfy and I can’t wait to actually use it during labor and delivery. I will be back to update, my review once I’ve used it to give further review on how it holds up during labor and delivery. As for now I am super satisfied with my purchase.

I bought this for our 6th baby. Previously, I had thought it was ridiculous to bring your own clothes for labor and delivery (bc it would get dirty, and the hopital already gives you what you need). But boy was I wrong! This gown improves your experience with labor and after by far!!! It’s cute, practical (pockets, openings in the front and back) and comfy. I recommend buying the dark gray bc if it gets dirty, no one can tell! After baby it gets better! After delivery it was very easy to open the front for skin to skin. The velcro closure even has another piece of velcro to fold over the scratchy side when it’s open!!! It made a huge difference in being able to breastfeed quickly, and do skin to skin often. The velcro openings in the front are much easier than the weird holes and snaps in the hospital gown. I bought 2, one for labor and one for after. I love them so much I will be living in them the next month for sure! I don’t like to spend money, so the thought of $80 for two was a lot but so well worth it!!! 💕♥️🥰

I haven’t had my baby yet so I don’t know how good it will do during delivery but it fits my bump and is comfortable. It is a bit expensive and the back buttons separate a bit so I probably won’t be wearing it out of my room but is definitely better than a normal hospital gown!

I really debated on whether this would be worth purchasing or not. In the end, I am SO glad I got it! I first bought a labor/deliver gown from another brand (Ekoauer) and realized it did not open fully in the front for nursing. It had to two button down “holes” for nursing access (that were awkwardly placed) but not the ability to lift down as a whole flap like this gown does. So I got this Kindred Bravely gown and it was perfect for flapping down in the front for skin to skin & easy breastfeeding. I wore it during labor/deliver and postpartum and was so comfortable and and actually felt cute in pictures. The Velcro down the front & back was not even noticeable when sitting/lying down (I was worried it may be thick & uncomfortable). And the material was just right- t-shirt soft & not too thick/thin. The only nuisance was that I had the backside open below the waist when laying in the hospital bed after delivery and the Velcro would snag the mesh undies when transferring to/from the bathroom. But that could easily be fixed by keeping the Velcro fastened - so totally my fault and something just to be aware of. Size reference- I am 5ft 5inches and was 185 pounds the day I delivered and the XL/XXL fit me perfectly without being to big/small.

I ordered this for my granddaughter and she said it is exactly what she was looking for, the fit is perfect and very soft and color is great. The quality and fabric and the stretchiness are great!!!

Loved this gown. I wore it right after delivery, and it instantly made me feel more like myself, and a lot more put together when visitors came by. The front Velcro closure is super convenient, and I love that it can be covered so it doesn’t scratch you or baby during skin-to-skin. The snaps make breastfeeding easy, too. I’m still wearing it at 11 weeks postpartum. Hands down one of my best pregnancy purchases.

Runs a little small and doesn't have much stretch. The Velcro is also a little scratchy if you don't have it lined up perfectly. I did use this while I labored and the access to the front and back was great! Overall it did its job and was way better than using the hospital gown!

Fits great and fairly loose like the typical gown at my current size of 5'4 200lbs (usually wear an L/XL). Length is great and it opens easily in front/back and will be great for the hospital if they need access without making me feel exposed. Front sides on the chest button up as well so you can just open one side or the whole top. The snaps are a little finicky but I don't really mind them. Material is nice and lightweight without being see-through at all. Looking forward to wearing this at the hospital and likely after as well. Edit: I ended up not wearing this during labour and delivery as too much was going on and it was a mess but I wore it for the remaining 3 days I had to stay and it was soo nice to not have to wear their weird gowns the entire time. I felt very covered and comfortable and it worked great for skin to skin and just hanging out. Will definitely bring in my hospital bag again and may get another one when the time comes so I have one to labour and deliver in and one to wear after. I think the nurses would have been totally fine with me wearing this if I had chosen to do so, as anything they did would have worked fine in this gown.

This was a great hospital gown. It opens from the front and back.

Not sure if it was a previous return, but the product if dirty and full of white animal/cat hair The item itself seems fine.

Although I didn’t end up wearing this in the hospital, I wore it a lot at home after baby arrived. Great for breastfeeding and skin to skin contact (keeps baby warm). Material is soft and very comfortable.

This is a great birthing gown! Many openings that are useful and it has been practically designed for many scenarios during birth and postpartum. I have even been wearing it as a nightgown postpartum because it makes breastfeeding at night very easy. I either open the velcro down the front for full access and skin to skin, or just open the corners by the sleeves to give my baby access to one breast. Very comfy, flattering, nice coverage, and easy access points. Definitely recommend!
