Nursing bras

Can you ladies recommend a nursing bra you found comfortable?

I just wore my sports bras but again, I had no change in breast size from pregnancy even after birth...so I'm probably not a huge help.

I love the nursing tank tops from Target and the sleep bras from Motherhood Maternity!!!

I second the nursing tanks from Target and sleep bras from motherhood. They also have some sleep bras at Walmart that I still use!

I love the Anita nursing bra. Wireless and still super supportive. They're expensive though, my aunt sold me mine for cheap because she has a business and was getting rid of her bra stock on eBay. I love it and wish I had ten more! And I third the motherhood sleep bras. The target tanks are good, but I just wear them to mommy baby yoga and around the house. I like more of a bra to go out in.

Good luck. I hated them and bought ones completely useless. My suggestion is nursing tanks to use before your milk comes in. Don't waste $ buying them before your milk comes in. I ended up not wearing them all and going back to my pregnancy bra- not to convinient but I hated the nursing ones!

I second the nursing tanks from target. Those were the best- thick and I liked the way built in bra was. I spent $22 a pc on ones from gap and returned them immediately. Really thin and see thru no support. Besides the target ones were 1/2 the price.

No I wish I could!!! I went to several different stores in search of them, and even went to an actually nursing bra store to be fitted. NONE of the bras fit right, and I was bummed out. I actually ended up wearing sports bras too!!!

A lot of you have commented on target nursing tanks. Every time I look at these at target and motherhood, they seem to be short to me. I can't stand any shirt or tank if it doesn't reach my below my waist. I have a long torso and also tend to wear things right at my hip level.

Can anyone vouch for the tanks being long enough to cover your whole belly?? I certainly do not want to have my loose baby bump skin hanging out for all to see and I can't exactly try them on right now to gauge, lol!

I am also tall with a long torso and no they are not long enough to reach my hips. I always wear them underneath other shirts if I go out in them, or I am constantly adjusting them. I have not seen any tall or longer nursing tanks though, they all seem to be a similar length.

I too have a long torso. I bought a size bigger than I thought I would need. They aren't extremely long but they def cover my belly up. I can't stand when things ride up. I never wear them alone, alway under something.

Darn, I figured as much. I wish there was something out there for us taller people. I guess I will stick to the bras and wear my own undershirts. When they ride up, it is so uncomfortable for me and so not worth the trouble, even when sleeping.

BTW, I love target long and lean style tanks (non maternity section). I am 8 mo along and still able to get away with these, some of my GAP maternity tanks are already too short!!

I have a nursing bra and the sleep bras from Motherhood. I love them both, but especially the sleep bra! I have a few nursing tanks and shirts from there as well which
i like.

For taller tanks, I've been using Costco tanks (lady hathaway brand I think). I wear them over a nursing bra. They're nice and stretchy so I can unhook the nursing bra and pull the tank down. They don't have those annoying support shelf things built into them, which is nice if you're wearing a bra anyway.
