I think they are the Simply Vera brand. Might be worth checking to see if their website has the same huge clearance section that the store currently does.</p> <p>Also, I think Target's regular long tanks (either Mossimo or Merona - can't remember which at the moment) are better than nursing tanks. The neck is stretchy enough to pull down for nursing, they're long enough to compensate for pants that are now pregnancy-stretched-out and falling down (tell me I am not the only one having that problem), and for less than $10, it's not a big deal when they get milk soaked or stained with nipple cream. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-clothes-immediately-post-partum#post-2477650 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 15:28:22 +0000 akcoffeebean 2477650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DesertDreams88: @youboots: @sapphire: @Cole: @lamariniere: thank you!<br /> Those are good ideas. I live in a rural area where the nearest Gap, Nordstroms and Target are over 360 miles away. I'll take a look at what I can find on their websites. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-clothes-immediately-post-partum#post-2477507 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 11:24:14 +0000 lamariniere 2477507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My go-to outfit immediately PP was a nursing tank with a cotton cardigan over the tank, and leggings. Cotton so that you can throw it in the wash without worrying about it. I liked the tanks from H&amp;M because they were really soft and long (at least, long on my short torso). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-clothes-immediately-post-partum#post-2477496 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 11:14:16 +0000 Cole 2477496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like my gap body robe, they might have one that fits the bill. </p> <p>You may want to consider a tank with tummy support or a belly binder type of thing instead, leggings with support would have really bugged me if I had to shimmy in and out of them with all the other stuff going on down below. I felt like it took me ten minutes to pee each time as it was last time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-clothes-immediately-post-partum#post-2477495 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 11:14:09 +0000 sapphire 2477495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought great nursing sets at like 40% off from Mogherhood. One had a nightgown and robe and one was pants, nursing tank, and robe. For cheap tanks, I don't think you can beat the Target ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-clothes-immediately-post-partum#post-2477450 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 10:17:47 +0000 youboots 2477450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got lots of my post baby loungewear at kohls.</p> <p>Do you have a Nordstrom Rack? They have tons of robes.</p> <p>The essential tank in tall from Gap is great to pull down for nursing. I still live in the Gillian O Malley nursing tanks at 1 year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-clothes-immediately-post-partum#post-2477357 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 04:31:03 +0000 DesertDreams88 2477357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Possibly: <a href="http://m.kohls.com/catalog/womens-oh-baby-by-motherhood-sleepwear-clothing.jsp?CN=4294720878+4294873953+4294719724+4294719810" rel="nofollow">http://m.kohls.com/catalog/womens-oh-baby-by-motherhood-sleepwear-clothing.jsp?CN=4294720878+4294873953+4294719724+4294719810</a></p> <p>I had the nrsing gown &amp; robe set. It was comfy but not frumpy. Sleeve narrowness was fine,I have the same issue. I preferred to wear the dress part immediately pp, to make the frequent restroom trips easier. Then I wore leggings+tanks, but no recommendations there :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-clothes-immediately-post-partum#post-2477346 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 02:07:11 +0000 akcoffeebean 2477346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm looking to buy a soft, lightweight robe to wear after LO2 is born (6 weeks from now). Also thinking about getting some cheap leggings and tanks. My MIL is staying with us for a week after I give birth to help and I am super thankful. But with my first I just wore nursing bras and tanks until we figured out breastfeeding and I'm not comfortable doing that unless I'm alone. </p> <p>I'm wanting it to be soft and comfy. Preferably natural materials.<br /> Knee length<br /> Narrow sleeved or mid length sleeved. I hate when sleeves get everywhere.<br /> Something I can wear several days in a row without it looking like I'm a dirty unwashed person. Pretty is a plus. </p> <p>I have a short robe- more of a sweater from Barefoot Dreams that I like but it's fuzzy (muppet skin), and very warm. Last time pp I sweat a ton for several months (!!) and I think the robe I have will be too hot. </p> <p>I'll probably be wearing leggings and a tank under the robe. I really hated the feeling of my smooshy tummy and I'm thinking about getting leggings with shape wear in the top to feel supported and smoothed out. Not looking to spend much money because I imagine they'll get trashed quickly. </p> <p>I also need new tanks to nurse in. I have some from Target that I liked, the compression ones, but I don't want to spend $25 a top. I don't like the loose fitted nursing tanks from target that are cheaper, I feel really sloppy in them. What are some other inexpensive options?</p> <p>I am so excited to meet LO, but dreading my smooshy body, and annoyed with trying to dress for being able to nurse easily. </p>
