I also bought a set of nursing pjs with a matching robe that made me feel "dressed" and pretty for lounging around the house. They had some lace trim, so it was nice. </p> <p>Lots of flowy sweaters and leggings and scarves too. (I was on leave during the late fall/winter though!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-postpartum-1#post-1852265 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 11:08:09 +0000 delight 1852265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore a lot of nursing tops and my maternity pants for a few months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-postpartum-1#post-1852256 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 10:51:41 +0000 skibobrown 1852256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>While on maternity leave -- a lot of yoga pants plus nursing tanks with a cardigan. If I had to leave the house I wore maternity jeans plus a nursing tank an a cardigan, Eventually I sucked it up and bought a new pair of jeans in a larger size that fit me postpartum </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-postpartum-1#post-1852246 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 10:39:37 +0000 keepcalmcarrie 1852246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stargal: No, I don't think the waist is tight. But I would recommend ordering a size larger than whatever you normally wear, because they run a little small. Plus I just think "jeggings" are more flattering when they aren't actually skintight. I ordered my regular size first, and they fit okay, but I got a size larger later on and they are even better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-postpartum-1#post-1852237 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 10:21:14 +0000 stargal 1852237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@keepcalmcarrie: those are cute!

My favorite is from Target and it is a v-neck with very stretchy/drapey material, so it's so easy to nurse in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-postpartum-1#post-1852228 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 10:05:50 +0000 keepcalmcarrie 1852228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I swear by these Faded Glory jeggings from Wal-Mart... I realize that sounds super unappealing, but I bought them in black, white, and a few bright colors, and they are incredibly comfy, stretchy, and flattering. <a href="http://www.walmart.com/ip/Faded-Glory-Women-s-Knit-Color-Jeggings/32353436?action=product_interest&#038;action_type=title&#038;placement_id=irs_middle&#038;strategy=PWVUB&#038;visitor_id=84006637799&#038;category=0%3A5438%3A133162%3A1187317&#038;client_guid=ceaafd11-c6fe-4536-91c8-7cf86e33cb1f&#038;config_id=0&#038;parent_item_id=20863066&#038;guid=dbdc7875-cc89-4525-a6bf-455a4a4e91fe&#038;bucket_id=irsbucketdefault&#038;findingMethod=p13n" rel="nofollow">http://www.walmart.com/ip/Faded-Glory-Women-s-Knit-Color-Jeggings/32353436?action=product_interest&#038;action_type=title&#038;placement_id=irs_middle&#038;strategy=PWVUB&#038;visitor_id=84006637799&#038;category=0%3A5438%3A133162%3A1187317&#038;client_guid=ceaafd11-c6fe-4536-91c8-7cf86e33cb1f&#038;config_id=0&#038;parent_item_id=20863066&#038;guid=dbdc7875-cc89-4525-a6bf-455a4a4e91fe&#038;bucket_id=irsbucketdefault&#038;findingMethod=p13n</a></p> <p>I felt more pulled together in these than I did in yoga pants, and they are actually comfier. My only complaint is the back pockets are too high, but I usually wear longer tops so it's not an issue. I've worn them since LO #1 was born, throughout this pregnancy with LO#2, and they will be my go-to postpartum pants next time as well. Also, you cannot beat the price ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-postpartum-1#post-1852221 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 09:45:05 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1852221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just wear a cami under neath regular shirts. I have a few actual nursing tanks that I wear around the house when I don't want a bra on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-postpartum-1#post-1852217 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 09:43:56 +0000 Mae 1852217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore yoga pants and stretchy tops/tanks (maternity or just some longer ones I owned) and pulled them down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-postpartum-1#post-1852214 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 09:40:31 +0000 regberadaisy 1852214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm living in nursing tops (HB classifieds!) and yoga pants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-postpartum-1#post-1852104 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 01:44:58 +0000 erinpye 1852104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yoga pants, tami tanks from Old Navy as an underneath layer (pull the neck of the tami and your nursing bra down, the top layer shirt up, and you have belly coverage), leggings, cardigans, cozy sweaters. Once I started resembling my former shape, I bought some Gap 1969 legging jeans and I LOVE them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-postpartum-1#post-1852086 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 23:40:46 +0000 marionberry 1852086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore nursing tanks from Motherhood Maternity constantly with my maternity jeans and I could add a cardigan or boyfriend sweater if I needed to. I also loved wearing leggings with long shirts or sweaters if they were easy enough to pull down and nurse with. I was lucky to deliver in September and could still wear a number of my maternity dresses as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-postpartum-1#post-1852073 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 23:07:08 +0000 Foodnerd81 1852073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Oatmeal: that was my uniform all fall and winter. Either nursing tank or old navy tami tank, yoga pants, and a zip up hoodie or cardigan. All the time. </p> <p>I honesty cannot remember what I wore before it cooled off though. Work out shorts I guess? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-postpartum-1#post-1852070 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 22:59:55 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1852070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: I look every once in a while but haven't found anything. </p> <p>If anyone wants to post some nursing clothes in large, I'd love to check them out :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-postpartum-1#post-1852066 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 22:45:05 +0000 Boogs 1852066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: I know I've seen some tops on our Classfieds here.

I'm having this issue too. A friend of mine has tons of special nursing tops, but I can't find them for reasonable prices anywhere (she buys consignment). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-postpartum-1#post-1851965 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 19:50:03 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1851965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore Old Navy tank tops, a zip hoodie and yoga pants from Costco. Super comfy, but not so slobby I couldn't leave the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-postpartum-1#post-1851957 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 19:44:04 +0000 cmomma17 1851957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really liked tami tanks from old navy, and layering (cardigans, etc.). They are long, stretchy and easy to pull down for nursing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-postpartum-1#post-1851923 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 19:09:29 +0000 tororojo 1851923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't really like nursing tanks, but am a huge fan of seamless camis b/c you can just pull them down, and I'd wear a shelf bra under which I could also pull down. You can put a sweater/jacket/button down/t-shirt/etc over it and anything is nursing friendly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-postpartum-1#post-1851821 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 17:36:52 +0000 blackbird 1851821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yoga pants, work out shorts, and maternity tanks and t shirts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-postpartum-1#post-1851768 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 16:25:08 +0000 californiadreams 1851768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i wore maternity clothes for a least 3 months! i bought a couple of nursing tops, but in general i just stuck to shirts that were stretchy and i could pull down at the chest to get to my boob, along with a nursing bra.</p> <p>after my weight loss didn't happen as fast i liked i gave up trying to fit into my pre-pregnant clothes and started buying new clothes that fit my new body. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-postpartum-1#post-1851765 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 16:20:35 +0000 psw27 1851765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have this problem as well! I don't want to wear maternity clothes and nothing is nursing friendly! Strapless maxi dresses seem to work the best. Or jeans/shorts and a nursing tank. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-postpartum-1#post-1851744 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 15:54:29 +0000 stargal 1851744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing fits or is not nursing friendly! What did you wear postpartum? </p>
