LO nor I were ever a fan of nursing covers so I tried to ensure minimal skin was exposed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-clothes-1#post-2241077 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 15:50:24 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 2241077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anything low cut enough that I just had to pull the collar down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-clothes-1#post-2241014 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 15:08:26 +0000 blackbird 2241014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: Yep that's how I wear them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-clothes-1#post-2240920 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 13:56:08 +0000 Boogs 2240920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: Oh duh me, yes! Definitely a bra lol. I use nursing ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-clothes-1#post-2240890 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 13:40:25 +0000 snowjewelz 2240890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the winter I bought these tanks with a very elastic neck line from Kohls and wore them under cardigans/sweaters. I liked that the neckline was high and it was loose so it didn't show tummy/cleavage. And then I just wear a lot of button downs! Long sleeve, sleeveless, dresses... Or like others say, the pull up/down 2 shirt thing too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-clothes-1#post-2240886 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 13:39:19 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2240886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: yup! Pull regular shirt up, pull the cami down, unhook nursing bra and obviously that kinda pulls down. I didn't need to buy any nursing specific tops! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-clothes-1#post-2240878 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 13:36:26 +0000 LindsayInNY 2240878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: So unclip the bra, pull one up and one down? I swear I'm not dumb, LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-clothes-1#post-2240869 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 13:32:34 +0000 jape14 2240869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: sorry, that would have been helpful! nursing bra under. I think they can work without anything over top for the most part, but I also wore them a lot with an open cardigan or a button-down blouse. this is the specific style I wore: <a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?vid=1&#038;pid=251943782" rel="nofollow">http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?vid=1&#038;pid=251943782</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-clothes-1#post-2240866 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 13:30:21 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2240866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: t ry the lift up pull down! I wear a bra and a light cami and then whatever shirt I wanted! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-clothes-1#post-2240856 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 13:25:31 +0000 LindsayInNY 2240856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jape14: This is stupid but did you wear them alone, a nursing bra under, etc.?</p> <p>@oliviaoblivia: So regular shirt on top and nursing tank under? I haven't tried the lift up/down method. I've just been pulling my top down.</p> <p>@travelgirl1: I think that's what I need - just regular tops that can be pulled down.</p> <p>@SleepyMonkey: That makes sense... A bra plus slit-ed shirts is a lot of stuff to deal with.</p> <p>@BandDmommy: Just normal, non-nursing shirts on top? Do you lift them up or what?</p> <p>@Mrs. Champagne: And just let your stomach be visible (or covered under something)?</p> <p>@Boogs: And no bra?</p> <p>@blackbird: Those tops look doable with a nursing bra under!</p> <p>@Mrs. J: I was thinking that too... I noticed a couple moms at the local BFing group all wore dresses or tops that were easy to move to the side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-clothes-1#post-2240395 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 06:33:17 +0000 winniebee 2240395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nursing tank with a light tee or tank over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-clothes-1#post-2240254 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 17:49:51 +0000 Mrs. J 2240254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe try a cross front top/maxi dress with a nursing bra? Then you can just move one side out of the way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-clothes-1#post-2240250 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 17:40:17 +0000 mrskc 2240250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These Merona favorite v-neck tees from Target are my favorite. </p> <p><a href="http://www.target.com/p/women-s-favorite-v-tee-merona/-/A-16542869#prodSlot=large_2_7&#038;term=merona+t+shirt" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/p/women-s-favorite-v-tee-merona/-/A-16542869#prodSlot=large_2_7&#038;term=merona+t+shirt</a></p> <p>They are stretchy so I can just pull the neckline down and unhook my nursing bra. Or sometimes even wear a coobie bra underneath and just pull both bra and shirt down. They've held up really well and the neckline hasn't stretched out. They run big so size down. </p> <p>Also like the portofino shirts from Express. There are sleeveless ones. So I just have to undo a couple buttons and unhook my nursing bra. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-clothes-1#post-2240238 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 17:00:24 +0000 Foodnerd81 2240238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GoGoSnoGirl: yes early days I just wore a nursing tank. I couldn't be bothered with any extra layers or things to snap or arrange. Once she got a little bigger and less floppy, and wasn't nursing me every twelve minutes, I did more regular type clothes and nursing bras. But that's also when the weather started cooling down a little so I would also do nursing tank and cardigan or hoodie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-clothes-1#post-2240225 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 16:17:15 +0000 blackbird 2240225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like these thin mossino v neck tees from target for $7 each. I don't like the pull up, pull down method, and prefer to just pull a boob up, out of my neckline. I wear these all the time and prefer them to anything else. And they don't scream "nursing tank". Even when they're big and baggy on me, I can tuck them into shorts or wear them to the gym. I have an anita nursing bra I wear with everything right now</p> <p>[attach=618/15/nrr74r.480x480.image.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-clothes-1#post-2240201 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 15:23:25 +0000 MsHangry 2240201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GoGoSnoGirl: it is hard to juggle all the clothing and a squirmy little one in time! </p> <p>I have been doing layers for public and then stripping down to the nursing tank as soon as I get home </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-clothes-1#post-2240198 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 15:10:26 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2240198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: that's GENIUS!! </p> <p>I'm mostly wearing a nursing bra w/ t-shirts, but I also have one split top that I am wearing some of the time. Since my nursing bras are what fit these days, though. it feels like a bit much to arrange before getting LO latched before melting down. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-clothes-1#post-2240181 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 14:05:01 +0000 Foodnerd81 2240181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore tami tanks a lot with nursing bras. Or I had a couple of looser tanks with button down necklines, like Henley style, which I could easily unbutton to nurse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-clothes-1#post-2240160 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 13:04:06 +0000 beloved 2240160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second the Tami Tank from old navy. They are PERFECT </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-clothes-1#post-2240149 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 12:22:51 +0000 Boogs 2240149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually wear a light tank like the target ones above and a tee shirt. Then I lift up the tee and pull down the tank so my belly stays covered. I also like nursing with a cover when in public and really love mine from Covered Goods. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-clothes-1#post-2240147 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 12:11:59 +0000 Woolly Mammoth 2240147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always just wore tee shirts and nursing bras. I started off with my maternity pants, so my belly was covered, and then I replaced them with high-waisted jeans. </p> <p>Sometimes I would wear a Bella band to cover my belly, but I never liked nursing tanks at all. For some reason I always felt more exposed pulling down a v-neck than pulling up a tee shirt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-clothes-1#post-2240137 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 11:56:21 +0000 simplyfelicity 2240137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought long camis from Target, cut the straps, made loops and sewed them closed. I just hook them into my nursing bra. Then, I top it with a really light tank top (like a Tami tank.)</p> <p>[attach=4953/15/nrqv1y.337x600.20150617_173716.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-clothes-1#post-2240131 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 11:34:11 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2240131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Regular clothes w a nursing bra underneath. Just lifted my shirt up. I didn't like layering really. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-clothes-1#post-2240130 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 11:32:11 +0000 autumn865 2240130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Instead of full on layering on super hot days I wear a solid colored sports bra and a nursing friendly tank top. The sports bra peeks out like a layering tank but is cooler and still stretches down in time for nursing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-clothes-1#post-2240128 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 11:24:34 +0000 ShootingStar 2240128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nursing bra + tami tanks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-clothes-1#post-2240084 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 09:20:05 +0000 BandDmommy 2240084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's really hot here, 100 plus degrees so I'm wearing nursing bra and flowy shirt. I'd die if I was layering. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-clothes-1#post-2240076 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 08:57:22 +0000 Jess1483 2240076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just bought a 2-Pack of t-shirts from H&amp;M so I'd have something to wear out. DS1 was born in November so I was able to layer until he was old enough to not be nursing as often. I like them.</p> <p>ETA: Link: <a href="http://www.hm.com/us/product/31266?article=31266-A&#038;cm_mmc=pla-_-us-_-ladies_maternity_wear_nursing-_-31266&#038;cm_mmc=adwords-_-us-_-brand-_-&#038;gclid=CMbLmLzO58YCFUhhfgodTp4ODQ" rel="nofollow">http://www.hm.com/us/product/31266?article=31266-A&#038;cm_mmc=pla-_-us-_-ladies_maternity_wear_nursing-_-31266&#038;cm_mmc=adwords-_-us-_-brand-_-&#038;gclid=CMbLmLzO58YCFUhhfgodTp4ODQ</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-clothes-1#post-2240075 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 08:54:07 +0000 SleepyMonkey 2240075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always just wear a regular shirt and lift it up when i need to nurse. I usually use a nursing cover tho. I found the nursing shirts and the nursing bra together had too much fabric that i had to move around and out of the way and it was annoying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-clothes-1#post-2240074 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 08:53:20 +0000 travelgirl1 2240074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just wore nursing bras with regular tanks but I nurse by pulling my top down, rather than lifting up, I just find it easier. As she got older, I found anything with a neck that would pull down enough would work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-clothes-1#post-2240066 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 08:29:19 +0000 youboots 2240066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a couple lightweight Tencel shirts from BR. They are long enough to cover my butt and are button downs. </p>
