so last week I asked about stuff for the LO- but now its about you
nursing bras
nursing tanks
(since I'm going to try BFing- my bias is on these items but if you had some item of clothing that was particularly comfy or useful...please share that with me...)
Re: How many do you have (mommy edition)
I had two nursing bras for a long time.. eventually I bought a third but I didn't like it as much. They are expensive so I didn't have that many.. The ones I loved (Bravado Body Silk) were $50 a peice.
Tanks.. I had 2 bravado ones and 4 target ones.. I wore these most of the time..

i had one nursing bra- i say 'had' b/c one of the straps broke and i never replaced it. and even before the strap broke, i found my sports bras much more comfortable around the house and have pretty much lived in them.
i had one nursing tank that was part of a pj set, i havn't used it since early summer. most of these past 5.5 months since having Michael i've lived in DH's t-shirts, or tank pj tops around the house.
Ya, I returned my target tanks and those were the only tanks I tried. They were too small and I followed the chart. I just was too lazy to order the next size up and never bothered.
I have the medela softcup bra which I hate. The straps are too small so when I lengthen them the pad that is supposed to be on top of your shoulder is accross my collarbone. This was also the most expensive.
The medela comfort bra I like a lot. But for the money I would have rather had another bravado for comfort and how it looks under shirts or even a few extra target bras now that I am only supposed to wear it one time then wash due to yeast.
My favorites are the target sleep bra and bravado silk bra.
I do have the light support sleep bra from motherhood. It is comfortable during the day, but when I sleep on my side my boob on top kinda falls out a little and then the elastic is accross my nipple which is not comfy!
