Anyone looking at getting nursing layers instead of tanks?

Nursing layers

Yea or nay?

I LOVE undercover mama tanks!

Just brought two of those! Thanks for posting.

I'm failing to see why its helpful with a regular bra, though. But the system with a nursing bra is pretty much how I nursed for the entirety of L's nursing life. The nursing tank is the way to go, so that you can wear any regular shirt, lift it up, and not flash everyone your belly.

Ummm wow....I had never seen these! I have started thinking about nursing bras/tanks lately as I realize I should start packing my hospital bag. I am definitely going to get one of these!

I didn't know those existed, but that's basically how I dress when I'm breastfeeding: layering. You really don't need the nursing tanks -- any cami (or these) works. I would always layer a cami under my top so that I could pull the top layer up and the cami down -- keeps the boobs easily accessible, and you're not totally exposed.

Just ordered two - thanks!

I have never seen these before, I will have to do some research! Thanks for posting!

Well I'm convinced to get one now, lol!

Interesting. I did buy one nursing tank from ON that I can wear now too (maybe not as I get bigger but we'll see)

I sort of figured I'd wear a bra, a tank, and an over shirt of some sort. That allows for me to pull an over shirt up, the tank down and still be covered. So... Is that a bad idea? I am due in winter in a cold climate so I figure I won't be too hot.

Nope, that should work perfectly as long as your bra also allows for easy boob access. (Either a nursing bra that snaps down, or one that is flexible enough to hike under the boob.)

Those seem nice. I mostly used my Bella bands to be honest. With a nursing bra of a similar color. With the baby all positioned nobody will see a thing, my main worry was hiding my soft belly.
Nursing clothes are unnecessary, except maybe dresses. And even then I pulled down mostly.

Oh yeah nursing bras are essential!

I bought two of these while I was pregnant, but nursing didn't work out for us.

I wonder if they'd still be helpful for pumping, especially at work. They're still in the package right now.

That's what I did last time. Nursing bra is a must, but the layering option works really well. Personally, I don't think "nursing" specific tops are necessary, not based on my experience at least.

Seems like a lot of fuss for no reason. I'd use nursing tanks instead of shelf-bra tanks/camis when I was nursing pumping, but I didn't buy any other "nursing" clothes. Unnecessary, really. Correct positioning covers pretty much everything that "needs" covering.

I went with nursing bras and bought shirts that I could unbutton. I have a long torso so I never pulled anything up.

Someone on Style and Beauty had posted that you can make something along these lines yourself using a regular tank. She cut the straps at the back, and cut the strap small. Then sewing them into a little loop near where the strap starts at the front, then you just put the loop through your nuring bra and hook up the nursing bra. After seeing her tutorial, I just plan to make some myself using the tanks from Forever 21 that are dirt cheap. I will try and find the thread she put up, its saved on my home computer.
