Post baby body/breastfeeding summer issues

Hi,

I'm 5 months post baby and not losing the weight I want (mostly due to chocolate intake Blush)

I've lived on jeans/leggings long vests and tops to do a one up one down breast feed but this isn't practical for summer.

I was a 10/12 and was a fan of shorts/skirts with vest or strapless tops. But realistically am now a wobbly 14Sad

I'm also on a budget, so I have nothing to wear!

Looking for any advice on what to wear?

Try these dresses - cheap and cool for the summer:

Or even their t-shirts are pretty good.

Wow, I'm in a very similar position to you, I could've written the same things! I'd be interested to know what you do with the clothes situ.

I'm also strapped but hoping to visit Primark and H&M sometime soon and see what might inspire me. Hope you find something to wear soon!

I'm thinking primary and h and M too, hopefully find some bargains to make me feel better soon.

Thanks for the dresses link, they are indeed a bargain.

You could wear shorts and stretchy vest and pull the vest down? You could wear a floaty vest over a bandeau or tight strappy vest if you wanted something to skim your tummy.

I've got a few cotton button up/ shirt dresses, I'll just unbutton and go but you could wear a cotton cropped vest underneath and pull that up for more modesty... there are loads of shirt dresses this season but a lot are in nasty man made fabric.

I also wear very thin light boyfriend fit cotton shirts tucked in to shorts.

There are lots of dresses and play suits with wrap fronts in primark and new look at the moment. They are pretty easy to BF in and you can just put a muslin over shoulder if you want a bit more cover.

Also if you're on FB join the group can I breastfeed in it uk? There are loads of tips, ideas and links on there for this kind of thing!
