Flattering Nursing/breastfeeding tops

[ellangirl]

I have 5 week old dd and am in need if some clothes! I have enormous boobs (30hh) but quite a good middle (albeit slightly flabby and stretch marked 5 weeks aft birth!)
So Many nursing tops are dual pregnancy/ nursing which are unflattering to my tummy, or empire line which doesn't leave enough room for my boobs. I wear normal tee shirts with a vest under but they are getting stretched out of shape being pulled up, and don't provide enough coverage when out and about.
What do I do? Any recommendations?

H&M do some specific nursing tops, as do Isabella Oliver and another brand called mamafeelsgood or similar. I've also seen a nice ones from Amoralia and Frugi (think they have a sale on too).

Otherwise I find that tops with buttons are brilliant for feeding, I have some Henley t shirt and shirts which I wear a lot. I also do the looser top with best underneath, although its only now DD is 8 months that I've started wearing things with a bit more shape! Anything which wraps, zips or buttons is good, as well as things which can easily be lifted!

Good luck and congrats

I got a nice top from Mamaway, they do stuff that's a bit different and not obviously for BF ing. However I am a bit tummy conscious so I'm embracing the tent look while I can still justify it!

I've also found that Fat Face and White Stuff have lots of tunic / tops / dresses which have buttons at the chest. Very useful, I got a lovely jumper dress from white stuff via eBay

Thanks for your help. Hm ones never in stock unfortunately. Quite like some mamaway ones. Will look into buttons at the chest option too. Would you wear a vest underneath that you pull up? Don't want to be flashing the whole boob- it would be a lot of flesh on show!

Try looking for normal tops, or a maternity vest (with the clips) and a nice cardi.

For instance I have this lightweight knit from Zara, it's so flattering and so loose round the bottom you can BF very discreetly.

Yes I normally wear a Emma Jane vest underneath or have a scarf on! :) I don't like my tummy post baby do prefer to button down rather than lift up if that makes sense. I just make sure I'm covering the boobie!
