Nursing bras and summer tops

[Lavender14]

Hi! So going away on a sun holiday shortly and I'm still ebf my ds. I have two decent nursing bras which I wear all the time normally because they're the most supportive I've found and I've a large bust (ee). However they look awful under nice strappy summer tops and dresses. Any suggestions on what to wear? Normally I wear cami style tops and dresses on hol. So would either consider a different nursing bra that's a bit finer but still supportive or suggestions on clothing? What have others done? I've seen some dresses that are a bit more covered up but they also might be a bit inaccessible for bf on the go so hoping for practical as well. He's a winter baby so I've been living in jumpers with a vest under and it was so handy. Now I'm lost!

Wide strap vest tops? Next, H&M and similar do them. It's easy enough to get wide strap summer dresses too although BF in them might be a challenge so look for button too dresses. I went on holiday when mine were 11 weeks and I was EBF and I found just wearing wide strap vest tops with lots of give sorted things when I wasn't wearing a bikini that I could pull down (I'm aware that sounds glam, it wasn't, I looked hideous but styled it out and didn't care!)

Oh and I got two really well fitted bikini's from bravissimo so felt well supported

This is probably not the reply you want but my summer wardrobe when breastfeeding was nothing like my usual... wore t-shirts rather than camis or floaty batwing type tops over vests...

I found shirred tops really good for feeding. Last summer I lived in a black shirred Mint Velvet dress with black nursing bra underneath. The square neck/thick straps hid the bra pretty well. I don’t know if they are doing it this year but you should be able to find something similar.

I discovered that feeding in normal bras is entirely possible. don't choose anything with stiff padded cups, but regular bra is super easy - slide strap off shoulder, fold the cup down, works just fine. Especially as you have a winter baby who probably doesn't feed every 5 minutes any more.

Haha oh I wish. Unfortunately ds has had a tt only just released so his weight had dropped and we've been on a feeding plan since then. He currently feeds every 30-40 mins but only for about 5 mins at a time except for night time when his feeds are longer. I think part of it is also that he gets very distracted when we're out and about so he's off and on and off and on. I find that a bit harder personally because i feel a bit exposed since his head isn't covering nipple consistently the way it used to so I think I'm over thinking it a bit more because of that.
