    4th Trimester/Nursing

    I feel like a rag. I'm exhausted. The maternity clothes are worn out and falling off. The pre-pregnancy clothes don't fit. My life revolves around nursing so washability and accessiblity are primary considerations. What to wear? Any good on-line stores?

    and now you know why mothers everywhere have taken over the yoga clothes. they're comfortable, they look pretty good in public and they're washable.

      Yep.

      I've nursed 3 babies, and have never become a fan of "nursing" tops. For me it was always more work to fit tab A thru slot B in order to be covered, rather than just using a shirt with a little extra give, or a tank under a blouse.

        Beats me. I'm all jeans and t-shirts over here. Going back and forth between some of my maternity clothes and some of my regular clothes, depending on whether I feel like putting up with slightly-too-loose or slightly-too-snug that day.

          Since I had my first baby I have lived in yoga pants. I might put on some jeans if I'm feeling snazzy. I do the nursing bras and just regular shirts. Victoria's Sercret has good deals on them. But I usually get mine from Sam's Club.

            I have a couple of inexpensive pair of jeans from Target and a stack of long sleeve tee's from all over. It gets you dressed and the shirts are still stretchy enough to accomodate nursing easily.

              My standard nursingwear was almost always a stretchy tank that I could just shove to the side, with any other shirt over the top... so you lift the first shirt up, shove the tank down/over to get bra access, and are still completely covered belly and low-back-wise for when it's cold or you feel too exposed. I actually didn't use a nursing bra after about 8 weeks, but went back to my stretched out old VS bra I'd worn in pregnancy... beats trying to hook the bra back together one-handed, I guess.

              Know how you feel!! Good luck finding something that works but helps you feel like not such a blob.

                I "second" the numerous recommendations for yoga pants.
