I hope this doesn't sound dumb - but I don't even REMEMBER what all I wore (tops, of course) with DS when I breastfed him for the 4 months I did. Now that I am nursing DD, I realized all that I own that are BFing-friendly are nursing tanks. That's it. I can't go out all over town in nursing tanks. And normal tops are awkward bc I'd have to yank them all the way up to nurse, and I'm not totally down w/exposing my stretch-mark riddled belly.
Are specially made nursing tops worth it/cute?? I haven't begun looking yet... tips?
Re: Sooo, what do you wear in public??
Wear a nursing tank under a t-shirt. That way your belly is covered when you lift up the shirt. I don't wear tanks and lift my shirt up, I don't own any nursing tops. I find that the baby covers whatever belly would show.
ETA: Most nursing tops make you pull out your full breast which I think is more revealing than if a bit of my side or back was showing. They're not worth it IMO. I have some regular v-neck tops that do the same.

I wear a nursing bra and and a tank top over it. Like a wife beater style tank top. Then I just wear a regular shirt. When I nurse, I lift up my shirt and lower the top/neck of my tank top under my boob. Then I unhook my nursing bra. The neck of my tank top gets stretched out at the end of the day, but I don't care.
I didn't want to spend money on nursing tanks.
