I like the Bravado bras/tanks-- they are really comfy and supportive.   I would also recommend getting a sleep bra.  If you plan to pump a lot, you might want to look into getting a hands-free pumping bra.

Nursing tank tops are my staple.  They are the easiest.  You only have one latch to undo unlike a bra/top combo.  Also, there is less to fuss with when your still new at the whole nursing thing.  I like nursing tops that have an empire waist where the shirt goes all the way down but then has a front that just goes to the empire line and you just lift that to nurse.

I am just lurking today, but JC Penny had some great cotton sleep nursing bras that were reasonably priced when I had my DS. Target may have some decent ones too.  I second the recommendation for the Bravado Bras and tanks.  Pricey, but so comfy.

I hate the nursing bras from Motherhood. The Glamourmom tanks are ok but I much prefer the ones from Walmart!

I don't have a large chest so I have had great luck with the gillian o'malley nursing bras and tanks from Target. I love them!

Honestly, I've been able to get away with using sports bras.  I bought a bunch on a whim thinking I could use them around the house and to sleep in.  Luckily they work great, are a ton cheaper, and they are so comfy.  I did buy a bunch of nursing tanks and bras, but I tend to wear the sports bras more.

THIS!  The Bravado tanks are a bit pricier, but they are SO much more comfy--and they're prettier too, with a bit of rouching at the cleavage.  And they wash like iron!  The Target ones are pretty good, but get the side sling instead of full sling ones--all of my full sling ones do this weird double-layer thing on the top that I'm not a fan of.

My favorite sleep bra is Medela, however,  It has a bit of a racerback so my boobs actually stay in it, instead of the straps falling off my shoulders (and boobs then falling out!).

! I wear the Glamourmom FULL BUST long cami's from them.  What's so great about it is that they have an adjustable chest band in the back much like the reg. bras you buy.  They work out well for me since they can accommodate to my bust size that change all the time. 

Also, they come longer in length so that it can cover my post partum belly.  I absolutely adore these camis since I can wear them alone or wear them as a layering piece.  I wear a sheer cardigan to make it look as fashionable as possible; I'm totally over the looking pregnant stage.

I hope my comments help in your search for the perfect cami!  Good luck on your delivery and Happy Nursing!
