I second Target unless you are a full chested woman. If you are invest in Glamour Mom or Bravado. You really get awesome support and can wear them without a bra since they are bras. Babysteals.com has them every few weeks so check there everyday!

I would bring it with you because it will be easier to nurse especially if you have visitors. My sister told me to get one cup size bigger, but my boobs have not grown from my pregnancy but she said they will become engorged when i start producing milk.

Re: Nursing tanks, nursing bras ...

I went to target and they did not fit well on me.
I tried them on before and after I pumped or nursed.

Totally invest in the Bravado and or Glamour Mom! You need to check the sizing though because they are not sized like you would think. Like Glamour Mom I wore a Lrg...I'm a bigger girl but it goes by bust size. They are a tank but a bra built in with the clasps and everything. I liked those for going out and putting a cardigan over. Still supported but could nurse easily. I liked the Bravado also but more for at home since it didn't have the clasps. Still supported great, but I suggest going up a size. I got the size I was and it was tight. I went up a size and it was perfect! It is an investment at almost $50 a tank, but for a nursing or pumping mom is is TOTALLY worth it! I wore my Target ones in the hospital, and after I got these others I tossed them. There was just no support and my cups runneth over lol. For the hospital...depends. I had a vaginal uncomplicated delivery with my 1st and she was in the NICU for other issues 4 days. The day she left my milk came in. I wore the Target tanks with yoga pants and an open cardigan from ON. My 2nd was a c-section and I went home on day 2...as we pulled into the dive way my milk came in. While in the hospital I only wore the ON nursing pj's that have the matching baby gown. DEFIANTLY loved it but go up a size! I also wore a Motherhood Maternity 3 piece nursing set with tank/pants/robe. I also have a LLL 3 piece set that was $$$ but I loved it and a Glamour Mom nursing gown. I highly suggest investing in these. I found nursing in the night to be so much easier in actual nursing clothes since I leaked a lot and had to always wear nursing pads. I also suggest buying bamboobies nursing pads. Again money but they are reusable and in 2 months they paid for themselves since I was always going through pads. You can also try etsy. At night I would take an actual pad and cut it in 1/2 to put over my nipples since I would leak sooooooooo bad if DH gave him a pumped bottle.

Re: Nursing tanks, nursing bras ...

I got the walmart ones and they fit odd…not sure if they will work or not.

No nursing bra yet but will do a Pea in the Pod one or Bravado.

Re: Nursing tanks, nursing bras ...

for the ones you can but at the store at target I wear a M and am currently a 36 D. I love them!! and yes bring them to the hospital

As for bras, I went shopping for them a few days after being discharged. I use the ones from motherhood maternity.

I don't know if I got the wrong stuff at target but I found it to be really cheap and uncomfortable, both the nursing bra and tank. The bras I liked were all from Destination Maternity. I didn't bother with nursing tanks because I'm not comfortable braless, even if there's a "built-in bra". It all depends what you like though.

I bought 2 kinds to bring w/me to the hospital from Motherhood:
the kind with no wires (sleep nursing bra) and the clasp kind that is an underwire, like a reg bra.They fit nicely so far. The sleep bra is a little big but I'm still growing.... Chat Icon
