can anyone recommend a nursing bra/vest to wear at night?

I'm a 38H and still have 7 weeks til due date, so chances are boobs will get bigger once milk comes in.

I never wore anything at night when I was bfing DS, but I think I may need to this time round as am already bigger than I was then.

Can anyone recommend any light support tops/vests for larger boobs? I'd also like to wear it around the house in the evenings, as I can't bear wearing a bra at the moment, too uncomfortable.

Have you tried Bravissimo? I'm a G-GG and got away with an Elle Macpherson bra, it was a lycra material and really comfy. I have no idea what their sizes go to though.

I wear a carriwell. I think it was about £15 from the NCT website. It's very comfortable and practical (not particularly flattering) - I really should get some more, I hate going braless when it's in the wash! I think Emma Jane ones are supposed to be quite good too

I had one of these from 8 weeks pregnant and it saw me through night feeds until I could wear a normal nursing bra when my size settled. It was great. Wouldn't run for a bus in it, but fine for around the house and comfy too.

Bravado bra tops

Bravado bra tops or one of these Mothercare crossover stretchy things (surprisingly supportive and v comfy - though I think at my biggest post-pregnancy I was only an E and went down fairly quickly to a DD, so I'm not sure how good they are in larger cup sizes):

Check out the bras4mums site. I found them to have excellent phone & email advice if you need to ask about a product. They do the Bravado vest-style top which I found really good also for wearing in the day when I'd normally wear a vest top as an under-layer, even if it showed, and worn in this way it is good for discreet feeding as tummy is covered but you are not having to wear a separate nursing bra & strappy top.

I really like the Emma Jane sleep bras. They're very comfortable, and never dig in. Supportive enough for me - F cup, but once I am up and about in the morning I need to put a proper bra on soonish.

Here's a link:

I'm wearing a large stretchy bra top rather than a proper nursing bra at night. A few quid from Primark and v comfy. I'm about a G cup and it certainly isn't something I'd wear in the daytime as it's not a perfect fit, but it's fine for keeping breast pads in place.

I'm also an H cup and I wear a nursing vest from H&M for bed, it has the clippy straps so easy access for feeding and more comfy than a bra. Quite supportive too so could be worn round the house. They're £20 for a pack of 2, definitely worth it.
