I didn't ever buy any. 4 breastfed DC later...
I just hiked my shirt up and tucked baby under. I think that's what most people do.

I haven't bothered - just tend to wear big jumpers (the joy of a winter baby!)

only thing I ever got was some stretchy vests to wear under my top - could pull that under my bra/boobs so when I lifted my top, my belly wasn't on show

I manage with my normal wardrobe but wear bump bands (bought mine in New Look) underneath tops to keep most of me covered up and warm while feeding.

I got a bump tube during pregnancy to support the bump, then after birth i wore to to cover me up a bit while i lifted my top to breastfeed.

As for breastfeeding bras, they give me absolutely so support at all! sorry but i had to get the real thing, handy if they can undo undue at front though, but i got the knack of undoing at the back and breastfed for 2 years

Just wear a strappy vest under a loose shirt/jumper. This can be pulled down under your boob, then pull shirt up and feed baby secure in the knowledge that you are draft free and not exposing any post-preg belly

I would love to know where to get nice nursing tops too! Don't know about you Bella but I think I would prefer to have a few nursing tops as I'm pretty uncoordinated and they look a bit easier to manage.

Try H&M although they don't have a huge range but what they do have you can wear when pg too.

Personally I just bought lots of v necked vests from Topshop for £9 for 2 and wore one under normal tops so I could lift the top one up and the bottom one down and that worked just as well, if not better than proper breastfeeding tops. DS was born in March so have breastfed through spring, summer, autumn and winter

Actually I am sooooo skint that it's quite a relief to hear that the DIY method works just fine.
Thanks ladies
