Nursing while hiking, swimming?

Beth.1212

DH and I are taking LO on vacation with us to a national park. We'll be doing some hiking and swimming while we're there. The hikes will probably be more like walks than all day treks - it'll be interesting to see how it goes. Particularly for the hikes/walks, though, I don't know what to wear that's nursing friendly. I usually wear a sports bra, fitted razor back tank top (so not enough give to pull out the breast), and lightweight shorts/pants. Any suggestions? I'm willing to buy one or two things, but I'm hoping to keep new purchases to a minimum.

I would wear a scoop neck tank instead of a racerback. Bra depends somewhat on your breast size and what kind of bras you already own, but if you're generally active a nursing sports bra is probably worthwhile to buy.

Swimming was never an issue for me; if you're a leaker you could get some Lilypadz to wear while swimming.

The Moving Comfort sports bras have velcro straps which make them very convenient for nursing.

I go hiking pretty regularly with DS, and I just wear what I normally wear: sports bra and loose t-shirt. I just pull up my shirt and bra. I prefer this to pulling my boob out of the top because I don't take a cover with us hiking and don't like my boob just hanging out freely while people pass. I can usually cover everything up with my shirt when I pull it up. People can still see I'm nursing, but they can't see my boob.

I second the Moving Comfort bra with Velcro straps. Then you can just pull the tank up and the bra down.
