Let's talk nursing tops...

Are they a "must have" or a "nice to have"?

And go!

    I didn't like any of the tops I tried that were specifically made for nursing.  It was easier to just wear a normal shirt and a nursing bra or tank underneath.

    this. nursing tops are just kind of strange to me...I don't know, they look weird or fit weird or something. I never used any with DS and don't have any now, either.

    I bought two from Target. They were $20 each... Can't remember the brand now. Gilliana or something? I wear tank tops and zip ups often, so figured I'd still be in my normal looking outfits, just with a little extra help if I like them.

    I hated nursing tops, but loved nursing tanks with a hoodie or regular shirt on top. I bought the Target nursing tanks.

    For the time I'm home on leave, they are a must have.  I have the cantaloop extra long tanks, and I love them.  I especially like the idea of keeping my belly covered while nursing.  Once we go out and about with baby, nursing bra all the way.

    I just wore normal shirts, a nursing bra, and an undercover mama nursing tank. It worked great for 22mos. DD just weaned this month.

    FTM, but I am planning on picking up several nursing tanks and just wearing cardigans/zip up sweatshirts with them.

    Nursing tops are really not necessary but I had about four nursing tanks (from Target--the Gillian & O'Malley brand) in different colors and considered those a necessity.  You can wear them under a cardigan, a zip up or a t-shirt or other shirt--and that way when you pull your shirt up, your entire stomach isn't exposed.

    I did like having a couple of nice nursing dresses because pulling up an entire dress to nurse or pump at work is a little awkward.  Sometimes, I just wanted to wear a dress and it was worth it to me.  The ones I liked were at figure8maternity.com.  In fact, there was one that I continued to wear even after I weaned because it was so cute.  They have a good selection and good customer service when I returned something.  It was just nice to occasionally wear a dress.   Not a necessity, but I just liked to occasionally wear a dress.

    Nursing tops no.  I like regular shirts better.  Nursing tanks - I think are a must have for aournd the house.  They are comfy and easy access.

    Thanks for all of the feedback, everyone!

    Does Target sell their nursing tanks in store, or just online?

    It depends on your boob size.  If you have a large chest like me, nursing tops probably won't fit well.  I did think that nursing bras and even nursing tanks were a necessity the first time around, though.

    Nice to have.
    I'm bigger chested(DD) & so I have to wear a bra under for the extra support. I only used regular tank tops last time, I had no problem with them. I don't see it being any easier to pull your boob out of a nursing tank compared to a regular tank. It's just extra money to spend, so I'll buy a few extra regular tanks & I can continue to use them after I'm done nursing.
