Breastfeeding clothes. <sigh>

[RooneyMara]

I'd forgotten that most of my clothes don't really accommodate the need for boob access and now I'm trying to find some 'normal' looking stuff I can wear - tops I suppose, mostly.

The thing is I can't seem to find much. A lot of it is kind of catalogue-style - you know, like you'd get in littlewoods or BHS or something, very floral and pastel coloured and that's just not me.

I found a couple of things by 'Boob' which seem Ok - but they are really ££. hoodie

Also this which though it's still flowery looks quite nice.

Has anyone got any suggestions for good shops? I'm thinking I'll probably send back these things as they are SO expensive - unless they look like I'll wear them an awful lot iyswim.

Thanks

I've noticed a lack of selection this year. Mothercare and mammals and papas have a couple of nice tops but on the whole (apart from the pricey seraphina type stuff) I tend to layer a loose, long jumper over a vest that can be easily manoeuvred IYSWIM.

So I lift the jumper down and the vest up or vice versa.

Yes I'd forgotten I used to do that! really good idea, thankyou...

I'd sort of got used to wearing about two things that fitted when I was pg and now I have to think about clothes again it's really hard!

You need to get yourself some of these. I'm in my 19th month of bf (this time round) and wear one under everything - top up, vest down, easy life. Plus they are super long so cover any post pg wobble perfectly (not that I am suggesting you have any, but I know I did!). Also super cheap.

I do the "pull the top up, vest down" thing, so much easier!! I have vests from Primark that were £2.50 and also have some H&M ones.

I try to make sure my proper tops don't crease too much with all the pulling up. Or I wear cardi's and scarves a lot too and pull the vest down. The oversize scarf still gives coverage over the top.

Breast vests are good under normal clothes.

Mama Feels Good make quite nice BF tshirt...

I loved Target nursing vests under eveything.
Also found H&M and Mamalicious nursing tees good quality and easy to combine with other clothes.
