Where to buy nice breastfeeding tops?

[Knomester]

With my first son I always opted for the vest under a normal top option for feeding when out and about (so as not to expose too much post-pregnancy belly!). This time the weather is a bit warmer and the tops I have that fit aren't really long enough to cover the top of the maternity jeans I'm still wearing post-c section.

I saw a woman wearing a lovely simple breastfeeding top at a breastfeeding a cafe this week but didn't have chance to ask where she bought it from, so I just wondered if anyone has any recommendations for where I should look for reasonably priced breastfeeding tops? Either locally or preferably online.

Thank you.

I like BOOB ones. Really simple openings.

Not massively helpful to your specific question, but this time I decided I couldn't be arsed with BF tops at all and I feed over the top, while babies head was small/I was expecting milk coming back out I used a muslin to drape over me/them but as babies head got bigger (and me bolder ;) I just whack the boob out v quickly over the top, latch on and then hide it away as soon as possible once feed over. For me this is much more preferable to revealing belly and this strategy means dresses are back on the agenda, especially good at this time of year!

BOOB and JoJo. Also a bump band - the ones you can wear over trousers when pregnant are good as cover tummy when lifting top up.

Mama Feels Good do some funky t-shirt ones.

Boob vest tops are great. Useful to wear under a shirt or dress with buttons. Tricky on warmer weather. I just got hot with the old best top under t shirt trick I think. Though I've never had a newborn in the summer.

Thank you all - I'll take a look at your recommendations this weekend.

Bluesuperted - I have no objection to over the top, especially with dresses like you say, just need to wait until these poor boobs of mine have healed as anything like that is still too incredibly painful at the moment!

I got a really nice bf dress and cardigan in jo no recently, about 35 each. The dress I'll use over and over this summer I can tell. X

Yes did think it would be an option for a kinder time for your poor boobs! Although given what you've been through I'm surprised you're wearing any tops at all, brave lady! Xx

also try http://www.vertbaudet.co.uk/ will deliver and had some good ones and also mamas and pappas..i found these the best sites.

Plus maxi dresses with lower neckline a good summer option too..supermarkets on line often have a few less expensive ones you don't mind stretching to feed.

hope that helps

Some of the vertaudet ones are hand wash only (I mean SERIOUSLY) which are an utter waste of space. I bought some and wreaked them on the first wash.... Didn't even dream that anyone would sell hand wash bf'ing clothes.
