Do these PJs exist?

post #1 of 15
Thread Starter 
DD night nurses a lot still, and since it is winter I've been having trouble finding the best thing to wear at night. Before it got cold I preferred wearing a nursing tank top because even when she was nursing I still had a little support from the built in bra (it keeps my nipples from getting squished under her when she turns over!). But tanks are just too cold now. So I've been wearing a long sleeve shirt with a night-nursing bra under it, but I don't really like it, plus I have to pull my shirt up and blah blah blah, too much of a pain.

So here is what I'm looking for, and can't find:
-long sleeve
-built in bra of some sort
-made for nursing (easy access)
-not too expensive

Anyone know of any pjs like that?

Why not cut boob holes in your long-sleeve T and wear a sleep bra (push-aside to nurse) beneath?

GlamourMom makes the same nursing tank style with a long sleeve option.

I wear a nursing top and long sleeve shirt with the boobs cut out. I can unhook the top and utilize the holes I was just wearing the holy shirt, but neither DS or DS could handle so much access

Ah, perfect! But a little more than I was hoping to spend. I'll shop around though and see if I can find it on sale or something.

I tried cutting slits in a sweatshirt, but it was tricky for me to nurse that way. Maybe the holes weren't big enough. But besides, I also am irritated by wearing a bra when I sleep anymore.

Thanks for the help!

Just a thought, what about classic PJ styles, like this:

It obviously doesn't have the bra, but they're comfy and you can leave it unbuttoned halfway and wear a nursing tank or bra with it.

I cut long slits in my t-shirt like nightgown and wear a sleep nursing bra underneath. DH thinks it's sexy, lol!

I have the same complaint. Nursing clothes makers are too concerned with still appearing "sexy" and there isn't a cool weather PJ option out there. I don't like wearing nursing tanks all night long because they're restrictive, but at the same time, the nightgowns (or tshirts) with slits in them leave too much fabric floating around that I have to keep pulled aside while both my babes nurse. It just doesn't work - I usually end up with my chin cocked against my shoulder to keep the fabric out of the way, and by the second feeding just pull my shirt off and freeze.

My best solution is the open button down flannel shirt with a sleep bra underneath.

I wear nursing nightgowns or tops that are all tanks or short sleeve that pull down. When it's cold I wear sweat pants or yoga pants and a long sleeve cardigan top open in front. My favorite is a kind of stretchy top that is designed as a bed jacket, but an old flannel shirt works too.

Oh, I thought you said you wanted the bra to avoid nip-squishing?

I never wear a bra at night. I just wear a regular tee with no bra and push it up to nurse. Works great.

right, sorry, that is confusing. What I meant is that I want a built-in bra, like what the tanks have. The night-bras bug me. Maybe mine is just stretched out (or my boobs have shrunk back to normal size! likely both are true.) But I think the night bras aren't as good as the built in bras because the built in bras still give a little support even when you are nursing.

I wear flannel pjs with a night bra and a tank underneath. To nurse, I unbutton the pjs, lift the tank and slide open my bra. A lot of work now that I think about it. Have you tried just a looser sports bra under your shirt...they provide more support and can just be lifted up.

nak,
I just go with a sleep bra/nusing tank and wear flannel Pjs that button up the front. I leave them mostly unbuttoned at night.

This is exactly what I used to do when we lived in an old, cold house. I wore flannel pjs with a sleep bra, and left the top buttons undone all night. You could do the same with a nursing tank.
