i dont have any proper breast feeding tops. i do have those singlets with breastfeeding bar straps (bad description i no!) and i wear those under normal tops so i can just pull the top up but am still covered!]]> Fri, 23 Mar 2007 23:35:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6263&PID=121999&title=breastfeeding-wardrobe#121999 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6263&PID=120995&title=breastfeeding-wardrobe#120995 Author: Leish

I just wear normal tops at home and cover my tummy up if there is someone visiting when I feed him. I have bought one BF friendly top for wearing if we go out. I will prob just get a belly band like BM suggested (great idea)]]> Wed, 21 Mar 2007 19:56:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6263&PID=120995&title=breastfeeding-wardrobe#120995 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6263&PID=120983&title=breastfeeding-wardrobe#120983 Author: aimeejoy

Get yourself a belly band then Bombshell. They're all over TradeMe (new), you can keep them around your waist (and hips) and they just help cover. But yea, practice makes perfect and your latching gets quicker with time too.]]> Wed, 21 Mar 2007 16:40:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6263&PID=120811&title=breastfeeding-wardrobe#120811 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6263&PID=120749&title=breastfeeding-wardrobe#120749 Author: Bombshell

I didn't read all these posts but saw Aimee's one about wearing a strapless top underneath clothes - I found that the easiest (and warmest) way to feed. As well as being cheap as you don't need to buy a whole lotta new clothes.]]> Wed, 21 Mar 2007 15:05:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6263&PID=120725&title=breastfeeding-wardrobe#120725 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6263&PID=120656&title=breastfeeding-wardrobe#120656 Author: Bombshell

i had the pull down singlet top on on weekend and flung a muslin over me in bar at lunchtime...

but gotta get used to feeding under a top then i think...most tops just arent cut out for it are they? and no button down one i have fits me right now...the BF ones i do have are fitting but undo under boobs and cup has to flap down leaving awkward to undo and do up again....

yes i guess practice makes perfect - have given into one of DHs 6xl t shrts today]]> Wed, 21 Mar 2007 13:48:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6263&PID=120656&title=breastfeeding-wardrobe#120656 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6263&PID=120617&title=breastfeeding-wardrobe#120617 Author: caraMel

I got a couple of breastfeeding singlets but like Clare, I found them really annoying and an odd shape.
I just wear normal clothes now and do like Millie with the cloth nappy if I need to feed in public.
Its heaps easier than you think to be discreet about having your boobs out in regular clothes, and after childbirth I pretty much lost all my shame anyway!]]> Wed, 21 Mar 2007 12:58:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6263&PID=120617&title=breastfeeding-wardrobe#120617 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6263&PID=120602&title=breastfeeding-wardrobe#120602 Author: busymum

I wear loose t-shirts most of the time and yea it does get a bit annoying cause before I had kids I was a size 8-10 in a law office and wore some pretty styly fitted tops which still watch me from the box in the corner lol

Also while I was pregnant I bought some belly bands and I sometimes wear them under my tops so my belly's not as exposed when I'm feeding - depends on how un-loose the t-shirt is and how styly I'm trying to (pretend to) dress.

I leave button-ups for pj's only, although with my current ones I have to undo 2-3 out of the 4 buttons anyway so I kinda feel like that was a waste of time, so I'm just sticking with the t-shirt pj's now.... did I really just say I wear t-shirts all day and all night? ]]> Wed, 21 Mar 2007 12:23:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6263&PID=120602&title=breastfeeding-wardrobe#120602 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6263&PID=120597&title=breastfeeding-wardrobe#120597 Author: Two Blondinis

Same! That's the beauty of having a newborn in winter, you can layer up and hide your "bits" whilst still BFing.

i just tend to wear singlets with adjustable straps, and have them as long as i can so i can just pull them down, and then whatever top i have will just pull up. i feel way more exposed when i use button tops.

i recently bought some breastfeeding tops, and they were so fiddly and a pain in the bum to work, i just gave up. now i just hoick them same as the rest.]]> Wed, 21 Mar 2007 10:54:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6263&PID=120582&title=breastfeeding-wardrobe#120582 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6263&PID=120580&title=breastfeeding-wardrobe#120580 Author: aimeejoy

I got a few breast feeding tops from www.mummymatters.co.nz

They have a heap on sale so didn't spend that much at all. Also Breastmates do them, and the mumu one is really comfy (not that I have used it for breast feeding yet).

Quite the mental picture you have painted Sparkle ]]> Wed, 21 Mar 2007 10:23:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6263&PID=120574&title=breastfeeding-wardrobe#120574 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6263&PID=120572&title=breastfeeding-wardrobe#120572 Author: sparkle

I have thought alot about this, as I don't want to spend heaps of money on maternity clothes, then a heap more on breast feeding ones! I'll be interested in what people do.

This weekend gone I bought some new pjs (which I'm told I have to get out of once the baby is born and not lounge around in all day!) I bought some especially designed for breastfeeding as I thought they'd be no point in buying some more in another 5 months. So here I am, in jammys that are too big for me and my boobs could escape at any time! ]]> Wed, 21 Mar 2007 10:12:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6263&PID=120572&title=breastfeeding-wardrobe#120572 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6263&PID=120567&title=breastfeeding-wardrobe#120567 Author: daikini

well have realised that my breastfeeding wardrobe leaves a lot to be desired...two tops that open under boobies to feed and otherwise all mat clothing is not suitable for b feeding....I am wandering around in sarong (which admittedly i do a lot anyways!)...but when i feed of course i am left nearly naked...

ugh im gonna have to go find some baggy t shirts etc as nothing fits or is sutiable to b feed without it coming off totally!!!

what is everyone else doing...surely we cant all be in proper b feeding tops all the time???]]> Wed, 21 Mar 2007 09:56:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6263&PID=120563&title=breastfeeding-wardrobe#120563
