Registry thoughts
What would you think if you went on someone's registry and saw nursing tank tops? Is it weird/lame to ask for something for me? It's mostly that my sister keeps bugging me to add more to my registry and I know some people like to include things for the mom anyways. I just don't want it to come across as tacky.

I wouldn't do it.
My thoughts exactly.
It's not weird to register for a "hooter hider" and that is an article for the mom. I don't think it's a big deal. All registries I've seen have nipple cream and breastmilk storage bags...I'd rather get mom a tank.
I don't think I'd find it strange to see them on a registry - Although now that I am in the position of needing these things too, I don't think they are at all embarassing/odd/etc to ask for.
Maybe you would have better luck registering for more of what you've already received and things people are more likely to buy (i.e. towels, blankets, nuks, bottles) and then return them for store credit. I had four showers and ended up doing this. I felt bad, but it seemed that people wanted to buy "stuff" and not give giftcards. I was able to return enough of these "little necessities" for my snap n'go stroller and a few playard sheets.
What essentials we do need are already on there as well as things that aren't needed quite so much, that was really the only other thing I could come up with that I'd like to have that we didn't already and that wasn't on the registry. Anything else would really be kind of a stretch and possibly not even get used, so I figured at least this way it's something that would definitely get used. Plus I always see at least one person buy pjs for mom at showers, so I think I will do it just so they can at least choose something I'd prefer if they already had that in mind.
This is the second time I've read something like this on here. This has to be the tackiest thing I've heard.
