I only have 2 "real" bras and 2 sleep ones. I wear the sleep ones around the house and the others when I go out. I should probably get a couple more though.
Ummm, only one right now. I go braless in the house, I'm not working, and I rarely leave the house long enough to need to nurse. I will probably just buy regular bras in my new size before I go back to work.
I had 3. Two nursing tanks and a nursing bra. Seemed like the right amount to me. One to wear, one in some part of the wash cycle (hamper/washer/dryer), and one clean.
ETA: I slept in them too. I never bought separate "sleeping bras."
2 good bras ($$), 2 cheap ones from target that I wear when the other 2 are dirty, 2 nice nursing tanks that I will wear out of the house and a few cheap nursing tanks that I wear mostly around the house.

I had a few but some had colors or features I hated so I finally broke down last week and went to Motherhood Maternity and bought 8 different ones that I like in the colors that I need. At least they were having a 3 for 4 sale. I HATE bra shopping so I wanted these to be the last nursing bras I ever buy.
I have 6. I am still wearing them even though we are only nursing morning and night. My boobs change so much throughout the day, I am not ready to buy any new bras until after we completely wean.
I own two regular bras (3 if you count the strapless) and I just pull them down. I couldn't find any nursing bras I liked in my size. I intended to alter them into nursing bras like I did with my old bras before my size changed, but if haven't gotten around to it.

One. The rest is nursing tanks and sleep bras. I pretty much wore the tanks daily. The nursing bra was only for when I was dressing up somewhat and wearing a nicer shirt that wouldn't work layered with a tank.
I currently only have one (expensive!) nursing bra in my correct size. I have some on the way from Bravado & Nordstrom. My goal is to have 3-4 good nursing bras by the time I go back to work in August. I think I have 5 nursing tanks, but I'm too big to wear those alone.
I have an assortment of not quite right nursing bras & tanks that I wear on days when I don't need to be as put together.
I never see this mentioned in here (possibly because they're the devil) but I really like the Walmart nursing stuff way more than the Target. For my size, their nursing tanks are supportive and comfy. I think the brand is leading lady or something like that. They don't have much, but I've been very happy with the few things I've bought.

6. Plus two more that I never wear because they don't fit.
I'll probably get more if I can find something that is more supportive, as my back has been hurting lately. At my size, it's hard to find good ones. I miss my underwire!

Two and neither of them fit thanks to my expanded rib cage. And they aren't the right cup size either. When I'm done with nursing if I ever go back to wearing bras I'm going to have to start with a training bra.
I don't wear anything at night, just regular pjs. Why do you need a sleeping bra? Am I missing something? I don't leak anymore.
I have to wear a sleep bra to keep pads in place. Depending on how long DD sleeps, and therefore how engorged I am, the weight of one boob makes my other boob leak when I sleep on my side. I was hoping that would stop eventually, but at 5 months out, I'm not holding my breath
I think I have 2? A black one and a nude one for the rare times I can't get by layering a nursing tank. They're both horrible. Plus a few bralet type things and three sleep bras. I probably have 20 nursing tanks though. I'm small chested and can get away with just tanks under a shirt and that's my nursing uniform.

2, but I only wear one.
I have 2 sleep bras, but don't wear them. I have 9 nursing tanks from Target that I wear every day and for sleeping. My boobs aren't big so that's all I need. And I still leak so I wear pads 24/7. When I leave the house I put another regular tank top or a t-shirt over my nursing tank.
2 nursing bras and five nursing tanks. I SAH so I don't need that many bras and the tanks were great to layer in the winter and now to wear alone because it's hot.
6. Plus two more that I never wear because they don't fit.
I'll probably get more if I can find something that is more supportive, as my back has been hurting lately. At my size, it's hard to find good ones. I miss my underwire!
If they are properly fitted, it's fine to wear underwire nursing bras. I don't do it in the early stages, but I can't go to work without proper support. I spent 17 months in underwire nursing bras with my first, and am on month 3 with this one without problem!
