What to wear

Help! I can only wear nursing tanks so many days in a row but its so inconvenient to have to wear a shirt that I have to pull all the way up. Any suggestions of what to wear while breastfeeding?

    I love v necks and scoop necks. I'd much rather pull my shirt down, than up. Most of mine are just regular shirts (ie not maternity/nursing shirts).

    I layer a nursing tank with a cardigan or a zip up hoodie most days. I also sometimes wear the Liz Lange Maternity tanks from Target. They are really stretchy which makes them easy to pull down.

    I wear am old navy cotton tank top, I think they are called tamis under pretty much every shirt. They are stretchy enough that I can pull them down to nurse. Then my belly isn't exposed when nursing.

    I do this too. Pull top shirt up, open tank top and go.

    I wear a nursing tank under a cardigan most days. I also found some that have a wrap type neckline, so I can pull down one side under the breast if I'm nursing on that side. They're pretty casual shirts (found them at Loft and at Target).

    This.
    I wore a nursing tank all of once before deciding I hate them.
    I just pull a scoop neck tank down. I went shopping and did the 'boob' test on all of my shirts until DD was around 14mo old and we stopped nursing in public.
    If I can get at least one boob out, it's a nursing shirt ;)

    all this. Pre-pregnancy, I loved shirts that hang off one shoulder so those are now my nursing shirts. They are stylish and very convenient because I can just pull the neck down.
