Nursing clothes

I don't know if I have put this on the correct board so sorry if that's the case. I am breast feeding my 3 month old and my pregnancy clothes are no longer fitting me. I am struggling to find nursing clothes that aren't also maternity. Does anywhere sell nursing tops/dresses that aren't also maternity? Obviously I can wear zipped hoodies with vests underneath but just wondered if anybody could recommend anything else?

This drives me insane too! I know the idea is that the item will see you through both pregnancy and breastfeeding, but really who needs space for a big round bump when they're no longer pregnant.

I think the choice of nursing clothes is poor. Tend to do "one up one down" with a vest (either nursing vest or just normal one in a bigger size) with a top/jumper over the top.

Other than that I've had some decent nursing stuff from Amazon.

Look up a page called ‘can I breastfeed in it’ on Facebook. They’ve got loads of ideas and they also have a second hand selling page too

H&M had a good selection of nursing clothes last year, ones designed for bump-less figures. They sometimes have a small selection in store too. The sizing is on the smaller side - I was a small size 12 and wore a medium.

Thanks so much all - it really is annoying isn't it @northernlola I have ordered a couple of things from amazon that looked OK, never thought to look there. I will check out h&m too, had some maternity stuff from there and the Facebook group. Thank you. Right now I am living in a couple of half zip hoodies I have but I find that the zips get in the way and can even imprint on my babies head!
