Breastfeeding clothes

sooz

Can anyone recommend where I can buy some nice ones?

Last time round I got a couple of tshirts from H&M. Other than that I wore one or two vest tops with a thin jumper over the top.
But it's COLD! I've tried H&M, and found one more t-shirt that I liked the look of. I've been into JoJoMamanbebe & they had only a few items & all were hideous. Ditto mothercare. blooming marvellous has gone (& I miss it!). any ideas where I can get something that doesn't look like a large rugby top with too many buttons?

I didn't wear any specialist breastfeeding clothes for the 3 years I did it... Just tops that were loose around the tummy so your back isn't exposed when you lift it up worked fine....

Ebay - have a lot!

I also don't have any specific clothes but I wear a long low cut vest or low cut long sleeve top, with a jumper or long sleeve top over it. Then you can pull one up and one down meaning easy access! Much cheaper! It also means you can wear nice, everyday clothes. I did see some in a catalogue the other day that were nice though. I'll have a quick look n edit this post for you.

Bebecanelle has some pretty ones, if you sign up to her newsletter as well you'll hear when she's going to restock :-)

Can't find the one I saw the other day but some of these looked O.K. Seriously overpriced IMO but everyone is different so thought I'd post them anyway!

Actually the high street is full of those check shirts at the moment and I love them. Can't wait till I am a bit bigger and I will be getting a few (I'm due August 31st, though probably be earlier) to wear with vest tops underneath. I figure while pregnant I can undo bottom buttons, then when baby is here, I can undo top buttons and lift up vest top to feed. You can also wear them with a tight belt to give you a bit of shape. Much nicer than stealing hubbies shirts.

Oh and wear two loose vest tops, pull one up and one down to expose one breast at a time. Tip I got and it worked a treat. Plus it will be nice and warm too.

I've got a feeding vest top from Mothercare for that purpose. Like a feeding bra, it has a built in bra that you can un-do one side to "flop out". Coupled with a large shirt, it looks good and keeps you covered up. (I am happy to feed in public, but I don't want to show everything off).

Just remember when using the '1 vest up, 1 vest down' method, made sure the top that is pulled underneath the breast is no too tight and might cause blocked ducts...

I'm due next week and waiting patiently!!

I've got a couple of checked shirts and plan on wearing a vest top underneath - so shirt up, vest down to keep tummy covered and warm!

But i also bought two tops from ebay, seller generation-gap-uk,

I got a long sleeved one and short sleeved one - and i suppose they're quite expensive but they are really good quality. (and i had cash in my paypal from selling my maternity work clothes!!). Sizes were good too - i ordered my pre-pregnancy 12, then worried that they'd be a squeeze - but they look big enough to accomodate the after baby boob growth :eek: .

Now I just need baby to hurry up and arrive!!

Topshop do maternity in the larger stores. I got a couple of bump bands from there when I was pregnant (like a boob tube for your tummy), they were a fiver each. They are designed to meet the gap between your ordinary t-shirts and your botoms when you are pregnant. However, worn under an everyday top they are perfect for breastfeeding as you can hoik your whole top up without showing any flesh.
