Breastfeeding clothing. What do you wear & what are your favorite brands?

[jewel1288]

I'm interested to know what you all wear to make breastfeeding easier? Camis with nursing clasps, specially designed tops, nursing bra and nursing top?

I'm in love with BOOB brand, a swedish born brand. Thankfully I stumbled upon their brand through the Stockholm objects website and naturalnomgesr.com. Does anyone else wear boob? If so, where do you buy it?

What other brands are your favorite??

I haven't found a nursing cami I like in my size (and price range) - I'm a 40G or so I think -  so I do a nursing bra (Bravado), cami, and top.

I have some Motherwear pieces I like. But in general I don't really buy "Nursing" clothes; I just use a cami underneath.  - I love Lane Bryant's lace trimmed camis because they are still cotton and breathe well and are super long, so they work well even when I'm pregnant and provide great belly coverage when I'm not.

I don't really wear any nursing clothes, other than a Bravado nursing bra. I did buy some nursing shirts at the beginning, but felt that they were no better than my regular clothes for nursing. And they are so expensive! If you want a tank top under your shirt, I liked the Old Navy camis (the ones w/o a bra in them). They are cheap, cotton, and the tops stretched enough to pull my breast over the top, no problem. So I hiked my outside (regular) shirt up, unhooked my bra, pulled the boob out, latched the kid on. Easy Peasy. Target also had some nice, stretch camis last year, but they were not 100% cotton if that matters to you.

I have a long torso, so even though I have four nursing camis, my torso and back were still showing when my LO needed to nurse. I felt so frustrated about hiking up shirts and then pulling them back down and trying to keep my cami pulled below my jeans. I just decided to save up for some nursing tops from BOOB. I was really hesitant because they're $58. at the very least on naturalmomgear.com. The material is an organic cotton with %5 lyra. The organic cotton was super important to me, so I decided to splurge, figuring I could return  it if I didn't like it. I love it though! I bought one more and they're just about all I wear. I've even seen them pop up used and new on ebay every now and then.

I know motherwear sells a lot, but, like said, nursing clothes are so expensive. :-/ Ultimately, I decided spending some money on a few good tops was worth is, as I'm pulling up my shirt 9-12 times a day! I figured, I may as well feel comfortable and look good. :)

BOOB is awesome! I have one BOOB shirt that I bought locally in Boulder at Becoming Mothers. I also love Annee Matthew and Mothers En Vogue nursing tops. I often also just wear nursing camisoles under regular shirts.

i have a bravado bra that is my fave and a few random nursing tanks that are all fine: bravado, glamourmom & yummy tummy. i was advised by many-a mom that nursing tanks and a regular shirt are most recommended and that's what's been best for me, too. nothing special otherwise. i do have a Gap shirt that is for nursing but actually i'd be fine without it :)

I recently got an "undercover mama" on Amazon (search for it!) and I love it do much I'm going to order one or two more. It's like a tank top without straps that attaches to any nursing bra. You can then wear any shirt over it, basically turning ANY shirt into a nursing shirt. Just lift the top shirt, open the nursing bra and your belly and the top of your breast remains covered.

I'm not overly concerned with modesty, but it's nice to be able to comfortably nurse anywhere private or public and know that I'll be totally covered. Most of the time people don't even notice I'm nursing!
