But if I'm in public or someone else's house, I usually pull up, or layer so I pull up my shirt and down my nursing tank and no flabby tummy skin is revealed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-lift-your-shirt-up-or-pull-your-shirt-down#post-1964323 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 09:44:22 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1964323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on the shirt! Some shirts I didn't want to stretch out the neckline to nurse, so I'd make sure I wore a nursing tank underneath so I could pull up. But I had a few loose or elastic neckline shirts I wouldpull down and it was so much easier </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-lift-your-shirt-up-or-pull-your-shirt-down#post-1964315 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 09:39:31 +0000 Greentea 1964315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always pull down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-lift-your-shirt-up-or-pull-your-shirt-down#post-1964292 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 09:02:23 +0000 MrsBeluga 1964292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: I have been living in v neck t shirts, it's all I wear, def only pull down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-lift-your-shirt-up-or-pull-your-shirt-down#post-1964254 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 08:05:25 +0000 avivoca 1964254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends on the shirt, but now it's mostly pull up unless I am wearing a nursing top. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-lift-your-shirt-up-or-pull-your-shirt-down#post-1964253 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 08:04:37 +0000 Dandelion 1964253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pull my shirt up.

It helps to boost up my boob as well or else LO can't latch in too well. Plus I always feel like I'm suffocating her. I may nend to do this tank top underneath thing though, that's a good idea. I need more clothes :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-lift-your-shirt-up-or-pull-your-shirt-down#post-1964189 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 00:38:58 +0000 autumnlove 1964189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore a lot of nursing tanks and flowy cardigans. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-lift-your-shirt-up-or-pull-your-shirt-down#post-1964185 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 00:24:18 +0000 sera_87 1964185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>down, except I'm stretching out all my tops.

I started off always pulling down, but having to wear clothes all the time that you can do that to without stretching turns into a pain.
