I loved this gown! everyone at the hospital complimented it, not just because it is super cute and the material its made out of it super breathable, you don't feel like you are going to sweat to death, but because of the buttons on both shoulders that allow the front to flap down, this was great for skin-to-skin contact that was mandatory for an hour after the baby was born but also for breast feeding. The gowns at the hospital tied on one side and were difficult for discrete feeding when people came to visit. It was nice to be able to unbutton on either side.
