I need a pair of linen trousers and some breast-feeding-friendly tops for my norfolk holiday but am having trouble finding any... i have a post-baby tummy (ds 3mo) and want to look nice on holiday without spending a fortune on new clothes (aim to lose tummy.. honest). Can anyone help?

h and m

they do special bf tops & linen trousres for about £15 - 20

bf tops are in the mama section

or just wear a vest top and loose t shirt or shirt over the top for bf

i have been bf for 5 years and just wear ordinary clothes, but I knwo lots of mners swear by them

do not worry about losing tummy, 3 montsh is nothing

There's a sale at mummy looks fab. I haven't bought any of their clothes myself but I have the site bookmarked just in case I have a good excuse to treat myself!

In the meantime I usually wear normal clothes with nursing bras or nursing vests underneath.

Pilates is good for the tummy - try Pilates for Mums but I agree, 3 months is nothing. Ds2 was about 3 years old when I started doing any exercises.

I have a two week old baby and I found a great solution for summery clothes that hide my big tummy and allow me to breastfeed. I bought a couple of pairs of black calf length leggings from next and three tunic style tops from Red Herring that have buttons down the front - they are quite long so cover tummy and bum.

My tummy is awful (split muscles) and I looked pregnant if I tried to wear trousers but I found these outfits very slimming, summery and practical for breastfeeding (quite cheap too!)

Thanks jumpy (and congrats!) - great idea. Is red herring in Debenhams?
