Nice BF clothes - help!

Hi, I am here with my 11 day old DD , BF going ok so far. BUT I only have 3 BF tops, and only really one of them is suitable for leaving the house in! (and it already has milky leaks on it )

Can anyone recommend good shops (preferably online) which sells nice, pretty nursing tops rather than just vest tops and long-sleeved things?! I'm going to a wedding in a few months and am already worried I won't be able to find anything to wear as I'll still be BF then.

I've tried all the usuals, Mothercare, JoJoMB, etc but am soooo uninspired!

Thanks

my dc are bit older now so going back a few years - but all my best BF clothes came from H&M hennes, they did lots of nice tops with concealed opening, stuff i would happily have worn not BF.

Can I recommend Boob nursing new here.

They are a bit pricey but do come up on ebay sometimes.

I have always worn normal clothes with a vest top underneath. When I need to feed I pull the vest down below the boob and T shirt up so everything is covered. Maybe try it out? eans you can wear anything at all rather than being restricted to feeding tops.

That's a great idea, didn't think of that!

A wrap dress is really useful. If you wear a vest top underneath, you can pull that up and the dress to the side. Takes a little bit of adjusting afterwards, but at least you can wear a dress if you want to! I really missed wearing dresses until I had this idea.

Otherwise tops with buttons down the middle.

The NCT shop have some tops on sale at the mo here. I bought a couple of the £9.50 Bamboo long sleeve wrap tops, they arrived today and are pretty good. I'm planning on mainly wearing dresses etc as that is more my style, but I liked the idea of having some reasonable tops for pottering around etc in.

Just to add to the vest top idea. M&S do these vests - Fairtrade cotton rich thin strap vests. They come in packs of two. Product code is T613604.

They are quite clingy so it means they don't ride up or anything when BFing so there's no accidental tummy flashing. I wear them under a T-shirt.

I don't work for M&S
