BF moms what are you wearing this summer?

I would love to get maxi dresses and I saw some cute maxi dresses today but not sure how I would BF in them , my nursing bras are just so not summer friendly (thick straps, no padding ) and I can't wear them with dresses with thin straps or no straps.
So basically I need a new summer wardrobe , need stuff I can wear every day but also BF friendly, if there is such a thing, lol.

I stopped using nursing bras after a while and just wore regular shirts and dresses that gave easy access, like strapless bras which could be pulled down, vneck tops and regular bras, etc. also shirts and dresses that unbutton at the top.

I like the target long and lean tanks and the new tamis at ON (cross between a cami and tank). I wear them under everything. I like to pull up my regular top and then pull down the tank. This way my belly's covered and any drips or stains are on the bottom layer. I tried some cute v-neck dresses that I could pull down but they would show stains and dd has a tendency of pulling on things and exposing me no matter what I'm wearing (not when she's nursing just when she's hanging on me).

I bought some maternity/nursing dresses/tops from old navy when i was pregnant last summer that I will be using again this summer. i might go pick up a few more items too, ON is pretty cheap. I also like wearing tanks underneath regular tee shirts, pulling up the tee and pulling down the tank. Although I'm happy to still be BFing DD (she's almost 6 mo), I won't lie, I'm looking forward to being able to get dressed without thinking "is this nursing friendly?"

Good question. I've been wondering the same thing. I've been recycling the same 5 tanks over and over again.

I just ordered a dress and shirt from ON - hopefully they fit! I mostly just wear nursing tanks.

Re: BF moms what are you wearing this summer?

I wearing nursing tanks under EVERYTHING...been doing this all along. The support isn't great but its the only thing that works right now. So i pull up my shirt too. I tried some dresses on with my nursing tanks but they are so high up in the back and look dumb. My only other thought is shelf tank and spaghetti strap maxi and just pull the whole thing down on one side when it's time to nurse.

And PS I feel like I need a new wardrobe anyway....between the bigger boobs and my muffin top nothing fits!

Uhhhh I have no idea! between nursing and needing to loose the last 9lbs of baby weight I have NO clothes. I am trying to hold out though.

For during the day with the kids etc I have been just doing yoga capris and a tank/nursing bra or nursing tank with a tshirt over.

When I am out and about that is the issue.

I would love to wear a maxi dress but I agree with you. The nursing bras I have wouldn't look good with it and all my regular bras are just way too small
