I suppose a wrap dress would work). I really love shirts that have that crossover top, makes it really easy to nurse/pump. Mostly it's button down tops or loose fitting ones just to make it easy to access.</p> <p>I agree that my wardrobe is more limited now than when I was pregnant, lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-what-do-you-wear#post-178890 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 06:32:27 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 178890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear nursing tanks and sleep bras with regular shirts. I just pull the shirt up when I need to nurse or pump. I'll be covered by the nursing cover for the most part so I didn't worry about spending extra money on specialty tops </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-what-do-you-wear#post-178856 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 00:09:14 +0000 sandy 178856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore a nursing bra and nursing tank everyday for at least 4 months...whatever shirt I wore on top I would lift up and the tank would fold down. I liked it bc it gave me a lot of support and kept me covered but now I really miss wearing normal clothes. </p> <p>My boobs are so much bigger now so I can't wear a lot of my old tops so most days I wear my maternity sweaters - I have three of them that I alternate through - they are pretty lightweight (and it's not that warm in the Seattle area) and have ruching on the sides so they are kind if still fitted even though I don't have a baby belly anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-what-do-you-wear#post-178848 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 23:47:15 +0000 HLK208 178848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped wearing nursing tank tops and nursing bra's after 4 weeks pp. Mostly because I needed to get back to my old self. I always wore cami's, a lot of scoop neck t's and v-necks, anything I could pull down. Even my bra, I'd pull down. None of my clothes were ever wet or ruined, it just took a good month to get the hang of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-what-do-you-wear#post-178847 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 23:45:52 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 178847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm too busty to pull a shirt down, plus I hate covers, so it's nursing bra, stretchy tank and whatever top. Like some of the other ladies have said the shirt goes up and the tank goes down. Occasionally, like in a wrap dress, the tank goes up and the top layer goes down, but that's trickier! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-what-do-you-wear#post-178834 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 23:24:46 +0000 Navy_Mommy 178834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just wear shirts I can pull down; I bought a bunch of cheapie v-neck t shirts from Old Navy that have been great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-what-do-you-wear#post-178808 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 22:24:05 +0000 Mrs. Pen 178808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel the same way!!!</p> <p>I wear a lot of vneck tees with a tank underneath so I can just pull them both down. I will wear regular shirts if I have my nursing tank underneath, so that I don't have to expose my stomach to nurse.</p> <p>If I do wear dresses, I wear strapless with a jacket/sweater over it, or I wear it with leggings so that it's not as awkward when I lift it. I think about where I'm going, if I'm going to church and will have to nurse, there is a nursing lounge. If I'll be able to nurse in the car, then it's ok. But if I'm hanging out with friends, I want something that will be really manageable and discreet.</p> <p>button ups, tops with an elastic neckline (like ruching, I have one I got from LOFT), baggier tops - I still wear most of my maternity tops, cardis etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-what-do-you-wear#post-178803 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 21:54:59 +0000 Zuzu2and11 178803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the beginning, I felt like I could only wear a few outfits, and I didn't like a lot of the nursing clothes that I saw so I've searched my own closet for clothes that are easy to nurse in. My favorite items to wear now are wrap dresses because I can easily pull the chest area to the side without worrying that I am ruining the dress. On the same note, I still wear my Gap Body maternity tshirts even though I have lost the weight because I don't care about stretching them! They also aren't too loose so I still have a shape. Other than that, I normally wear a button up shirt with a regular cami underneath because I never found a nursing tank that I found comfortable for my body. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-what-do-you-wear#post-178798 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 21:44:41 +0000 brownie 178798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear a nursing tank every day. I then just pull up the shirt I am wearing. Occasionally, when I wear a button down or low v-neck I can just pull over. I haven't changed my clothes much except for the tank top. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-what-do-you-wear#post-178790 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 21:31:46 +0000 mrs. wagon 178790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I own two nursing tops from Motherhood and I absolutely hate both of them!! I preferred to just wear loose tops and pull them up. Thankfully Wagon Jr. was big and fat and blocked my belly skin! (that is, when he would kick the nursing cover off of me!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-what-do-you-wear#post-178789 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 21:28:08 +0000 MamaCate 178789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nursing tanks pretty much daily, but i have been able to work cute tshirts that pull up then open the tank. This works pretty well for pumping at the office and feeding LO at home. Utton down shirts work too and i have one wrap-type dress that i can get away with but it requires a little squirming. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-what-do-you-wear#post-178779 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 21:06:53 +0000 pastemoo 178779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just got a couple button down shirts, and two dresses --one that I pull the sleeves down, the other is a tube dress and I pull it down. I don't every pull anything up to nurse. I only pull stuff down--so all my "nursing clothes" are actually things I bought from a regular teenager clothing store with "easy access to boobs" in mind.<br /> So, yes, I only have 4 shirts and 2 dresses, but I have to do so much laundry with the LO, that I always have something to wear. I still don't fit into any of my pants though--just wearing elastic skirts hiked way up, or my dresses... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-what-do-you-wear#post-178765 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 20:54:27 +0000 katmmad 178765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gap favorite Ts and other v-necks... I just pull it down or up. But then I'm a wahm so it doesn't matter too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-what-do-you-wear#post-178764 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 20:53:29 +0000 sulli301 178764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Camis &amp; cardigans were what I wore the first 6 months I feel like! It wasn't so bad after 6 months, I nursed less often &amp; was much better @ it &amp; so was LO. Sorry that isn't more helpful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-what-do-you-wear#post-178760 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 20:45:24 +0000 Mrs. Train 178760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear shirts that are loose and low in the neck so that I can just pull the neck down. Things like V necks and scoop necked shirts. Either that or I just pull up the side of any shirt that I am wearing. I also have a few dresses that have a wrap top so I can just pull one side down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-what-do-you-wear#post-178751 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 20:32:57 +0000 mrs. bird 178751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you'd rather wear dresses, Liz Lange for target has a few 'nursing friendly' dresses out right now.

Works well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-what-do-you-wear#post-178738 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 20:19:31 +0000 ktdid23 178738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I nursed/pumped for 6 months and basically wore nothing but GlamourMom tanks and cardigans. I hated nursing bras so I stuck to the GlamourMom nursing tanks - I felt like it was so much easier than a nursing bra and regular shirt, especially for pumping at work. Sorry I couldn't be more help :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-what-do-you-wear#post-178725 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 19:55:45 +0000 chopsuey 178725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually always wear a cami and will wear whatever I feel like wearing over it. I just lift my shirt/cardigan up/open/down and nurse. Now that my LO is older, we don't nurse in public often. </p> <p>At home I'm always in a cami and shorts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-what-do-you-wear#post-178723 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 19:47:18 +0000 T.H.O.U. 178723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a lot of cami's (without a shelf bra) that I could pull down. I then would lift a regular shirt (t shirt, etc) up and pull the cami down. </p> <p>The top shirt covers the top of my breast and the cami covers my belly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-what-do-you-wear#post-178722 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 19:45:57 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 178722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i have found that my wardrobe is more limited as a nursing mom than it was when i was pregnant!<br /> i can't wear dresses, because i would have to get butt naked in order to nurse.<br /> i can't wear t-shirts, because i would have to take it off in order to feed (unless it was super baggy and i could lift it up).</p> <p>am i going to have to live in a nursing cami and cardigan until i am done nursing? i wear the same thing every stinking day! </p>
