Nursing tanks

[wkatie]

Any recommendations?  Any could someone please tell me why there are some that are $80?  Do they BF the kid for you?

One of the more expensive ones I saw has something in it that's supposed to help reduced abdominal swelling. That's the extent of how much I looked at them. SIL gave me a couple of her old ones, I think they were from the Gap?

I used the target ones both times.

I also loved the Gillian whatever sleeping nursing bras. I would wear those under anything. You can be boob-out in one swipe!

I got mine from Target. In a size extra-fucking big.

I love the pea in the pod ones. Built in bra and long. Easy to unsnap with one hand. Overall very comfy. I used them with baby #1 and will do so again with this one.

Nice, thanks. I like that Gillian brand at Target, I'll check there.

Puddle, we do not have a Bellies to Babies around here.

I'm a SAHM and pretty much lived in nursing tanks for 9 months. The bravado ones were, by far, my favorite. I know some say they're a bit too low cut for the office, but for my lifestyle, they were perfect. Worked with a variety of bottoms and instantly looked a bit more dressed up with a cardigan and scarf. They're pricey, but so very awesome. I have them packed away and fully plan to use them for baby #2.

I also really liked the undercover mama tanks that clip onto any nursing bra. Slim fit so they worked well under other tops and cardigans. Again, I have them packed away for the next kid.

For sleeping and the early first few weeks of nursing, the Target ones were good. They are very loose in the middle, which is nice when you still look like you're 5 months pregnant, but I relegated them for sleeping once they started looking baggy. I would highly suggest them though as a nice starter tank.

I lvoed the bravado ones at home. I think I picked mine up on babysteals or babyhalfoff or zulily or something> I had to watch for them to come up. Even then, I think I only had 2 of them.

So, it looks like Gap sells these for the cheapest price (w/ 30% off).  Are these the ones you like?

I love www.melindag.com/3000/cami-sutra-melindag3000.html because it hooks like a real bra and it is much more supportive than any of the other nursing tanks I have. It's not cheap though. I do have bigger boobs and the support in cheaper nursing tanks is just not enough.

I got mine at WalMart and Target. They worked perfectly fine.

[sewpinkgal]

wkatie - yup those are the ones! They're nice and thick so I always felt fine wearing them solo or with something over them, even in white.

Basics by bravado at target. I wear them every single day. No need for a bra.

I love the Gillian O'Malley ones from Target.

These are much looser around the stomach area of that's what you want. Basics by bravado are much more fitted

[wkatie]

GAWD, Target's website sucks. It looks like they have them at my store though. I'll check out both kinds. I might get one of the ones from Gap too, to check out.

I nursed my kid and pumped at work for 13 months last time by simply pulling my boob out of my regular bras and camis. I'm going to really treat myself this time. lol.

Thanks for the tips.

What about Target? I don't have nursing tank recs, but I loved (okay, still love) the Liz Lange maternity tanks, so if I were looking for a nursing tank I'd try there.

LOL!  I still wear my 2 Liz Lange maternity tanks and DD is 13 months old!

I am living in bravado nursing bras and old navy perfect tanks. It just works better for me. The scoop low enough I just pull it down to nurse.
