I use a vest top and a cardi combination. Some people I know use a thin strap vest under a t-shirt. They lift the t-shirt up and pull the vest down to feed.

Maybe not what you are looking for, but I actually found bfing tops a bit of a faff. I'd spend more time faffing around looking for the holes to poke through than just lifting a top.

I liked the vest top with drop cups from Emma Jane (I think it was) which I got from Figleaves. It was about £16 for cotton or £19 for bamboo (which is lovely and soft). What I liked was you could wear it under any top and it covered up your tummy and everything while you lifted your top e.g. t-shirt or blouse, so almost made any top a breast feeding top.

I got 2 in bamboo and still wear them to sleep in as so comfy, even though not Bfing any more LOL!

I think H&M are supposed to do quite affordable ones, but I could never get to a store with tiny baby as don't live in big city, so ended up buying second hand on ebay mostly...

Hope that helps?

I'm just wearing normal tops in a size up from normal - QS had some for £5, got a couple black ones (to hide leak marks...) from M&S, £7 for fairtrade cotton.

Was given a Mothercare bf top but couldn't coordinate my breast with it so just pull it up like the others. I have just splashed out on a lovely cardi in the sales though, for when I want to look yummy-mummyish! Usually I have a blanket wrapped round A which covers any bits of me he doesn't.

I'd agree with Starlight- vest top with stretchy straps, with another top over it. Pull vest down and other top up. I reckon it works fine, covers all your bits and this way, you can wear pretty much anything.

Two tops option doesn't work well with big boobs though... I have GG boobs and couldn't get a boob and my neck to fit through the neck hole of a strappy vest IYSWIM!!

I never bothered with a breastfeeding top, am also large of nork and never had a problem.

I never used them,
I also used a stretchy vest top and a shirt over the top,

I unbuttoned the shirt a bit and then would pull the vest up over my boob to feed, seemed to work well and if the shirt was quite loose it meant that it didn't reveal too much

H&M do cheapo feeding vests.

FrannyandZooey · 04/01/2009 19:08

if you can't get the strappy vest to pull down far enough to get your breast out

( although type like New Look ones are stretchy and i really think could be pulled down as far as you want)

then cut a strategic hole in the vest - straight line across the front at nipple level

the breastfeeding tops in shops are pricy and not usually that nice imo

I do the vest thing and mine are J cup. Cardies also good at this time of year.
