Well I don't even bother getting dressed into anything that isn't convenient to nurse in these days...so around the house I pretty much wear nursing tank tops and when I'm out and about I tend to wear tank tops/camisoles and a cardigan. I feel like this is my uniform...what do other moms who breastfeed wear?

She had some luck with shopping at TJMaxx and Marshall's for some shirts that could be nursing shirts, with the tank under, and not super conveniently.. but on a day when she wants to look nicer she'll wear one of those.
Oh, I got her a nursing shirt from Old Navy that's a black cowl neck that opens up at the neckline for nursing. She LOVES that one.
We got some long sleeved nursing shirts from Motherwear that were nice when it was the coldest cold of winter.. but since the weather is a little warmer and our building is so hot.. we're back to tanks and wraps again!

Nursing tops are tops that have easy access to your breasts. They are shirts that cross in the front in a V and you can pull the fabric to one side or the other to nurse. Nursing tanks are similar, some have clasps that unhook to drop just the front of your shirt in order to BF. I loved shirts made for nursing. I hated having to lift my shirt up from the bottom to gain access to my breasts, nursing shirts/tanks are really descrete and you can hardly tell anything is going on.

normal business attire. I never had a problem with lifting up my shirt, and I always felt like I managed to be discrete, even without a blanket. The great thing about pulling your shirt up, and over your breast, is that is slouches back down and conceals the top half of your breast while you're nursing ; )
