I'd wear any shirt I wanted, but wore a cami underneath. Lift from bottom and boom...noone saw a thing!<br /> If I were on a plan I'd probably do a fancy nursing shirt just for comfort </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-with-a-buttoned-blouse-unbutton-up-or-down#post-666777 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 19:43:14 +0000 bpcmarj 666777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is genius. I always wondered why button up shirts were thought to be so great for BFing. I always feel a little exposed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-with-a-buttoned-blouse-unbutton-up-or-down#post-666719 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 19:13:47 +0000 T.H.O.U. 666719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always pulled my shirt up instead of down which covered my chest and the pulled the cami down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-with-a-buttoned-blouse-unbutton-up-or-down#post-666718 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 19:13:15 +0000 MamaMoose 666718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I alway undo the top. Will have to try the other way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-with-a-buttoned-blouse-unbutton-up-or-down#post-666714 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 19:12:31 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 666714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not breastfeeding yet, but man, that's ingenious. I never would have thought to unbutton from the bottom! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-with-a-buttoned-blouse-unbutton-up-or-down#post-666703 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 19:03:31 +0000 HabesBabe 666703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OK, so I must be an idiot or something, but this never occurred to me. I was reading an article about flying tips for infants, and one mentioned wearing a button-down blouse for nursing (nothing new, right?). But the blogger mentioned that it is helpful because you can unbutton up (bottom buttons, leaving top buttons intact)-- I have worn button-up blouses to nurse for MONTHS and it never occurred to me to unbutton from the bottom up! That really does seem like a more discreet way to nurse (especially if you are wearing a cami underneath).</p> <p>So when you are wearing a button-up blouse, do you unbutton the top or bottom buttons? </p>
