Morning ☺️

I’m EBF and my boobs are huge! They’re normally quite small so really struggling to find any flattering tops / jumpers that either don’t make me look huge or don’t draw attention to the fact that I have huge boobs. Also obviously need easy access
to feed baby!

any brand or style suggestions?!

How old is baby? I had full on Jessica Rabbit boobs at 2 weeks by about 8 weeks they were larger than typical for me and now baby is 20 weeks they are smaller than normal. It might be a short term problem.

I got a couple of t shirts off eBay, I still had some tops from my eldest that I got in m &s but they don't sell them any more and I have a couple of chunky cardigans that tone down my silhouette. I haven't got on with jumpers.

12 weeks sadly! I’m still carrying a bit of weight so suspect boobs are combination of that and bf!

All the breastfeeding tops I got were naff and a waste of money. Just wear any tops you want with a low cut vest underneath. So you lift the top and pull down on the vest and you're covered.

Just wear a big t shirt. Agree with pp, bf tops are pointless.

I always wore a button down shirt and a cardigan! I hated all the breastfeeding tops.

You might find over the next few months they go down a little.
The tops I have a JoJo maman Bebe. I got 2 on eBay for £5. I have a frugi dress I got for Christmas that I like. I'd wear these even after I've stopped feeding. These all have an extra panel over the breasts that you can lift for feeding.
My favourites are the m and s tops I have but they don't make them any more. They are a v neck and made of two pieces of fabric and they come apart for feeding.

I'd look at some breastfeeding t shirts and then some cardigan or jackets for styling and balancing out shape. I have some chunky no button cardigan. I struggle with regular clothes, I don't know if it's the clothes I have but I find it difficult to pull them down over the breasts. I have 30DD-E breasts normally and don't have many tops that are low cut or stretchy across the breast.

I mostly just wore loose fitting t-shirts at that stage, but I often wore/wear them anyway. I just pull my t-shirts up to feed. Mine did go smaller soon after the 12 week mark with DC3 so you may find the same.
