Breastfeeding Tops I Recommend

So before I get to the main topic of my blog, I wanted to talk about Motherhood Maternity. Specifically their breastfeeding headquarters. They ave partnered with March of Dimes to talk about how important breastfeeding is. Here is some information that I find very important that all breastfeeding mothers and mothers-to-be should know.

Tell hospital staff you want to breastfeed to avoid your baby getting formula or a pacifier
Find a pediatrician that supports breastfeeding.
Talk to your doctor and the pediatrician about meds you are taking
Get in touch with someone from the La Leche League or a Lactation Consultant to ask for advice.
Ask your hospital, OB/GYN or WIC rep about breastfeeding classes
Ask to see a LC while in the hospital
Ask that your newborn room with you so you can feed him or her
Read about breastfeeding. Knowledge is key!
Get comfortable clothes and clothes that help you to breastfeed.

Now that we have talked about this, you should also know about your rights as a breastfeeding mother. There are so many to list, so here is a link to one of the greatest websites I know! National Conference of State Legislatures This was updated in March 2010, so these are as recent as can be. 


Alright, so on to the point of this blog. Breastfeeding tops I recommend. If you are not shy, and will be breastfeeding without a cover, as I often do, I recommend these tops: Spaghetti Strap Lift Up Double Opening Nursing Cami, Spaghetti Strap Lift Up Double Opening Nursing Cami,I Love Mom polo nursing shirt,BlissfulBabes Bell Sleeve Nursing Tunic, Nursing Camisole, Nursing T-Shirt in Blue and Plum, Flutter-sleeve nursing top, Wrap front nursing top, Crossover short sleeved nursing top, Pleated squareneck nursing top, New crossover long sleeved nursing top, Long Sleeve Pull Over Double Opening Nursing Top, 3/4 Sleeve Pull Down Double Opening Nursing Shirt.

These are just a few and I think you get the idea. I believe out of all I have chosen, there are only 2 I chose that you pull down. This is because I have one that you pull down and I didn't think about how the neck would get stretched out. That kind of disappoints me as I really liked it and it was my first nursing shirt I ever bought. I will tell you I love wearing my nursing tanks, and there are so many of them. I usually wear them under a large button up shirt or a baby doll shirt that I can easily put my sun under. Now mind you, I am not a shy person and I don't mind if I pull down my shirt and people see my boob. My son is already feeding and won't see any more than that. If you follow me on facebook, you will see that I have pulled down a tube-top dress and begin to feed my child in public. What I do I do for the health of my child. I do sometimes wear a cover. There are places when you feel you must, like in a busy mall. If there is a place that is very crowded, I won't make a scene, unless there is a reason to do such, like a nurse-in, but otherwise I will cover. I am not afraid for people to see what I do, but there are times I will feel like covering.

I hope this information has helped you. These shirts are only my recommendations and there are so many out there. Some woman like to pull on their collars, but I don't like to wear out my shirts. Especially since I plan to nurse for two years, I want my nursing clothes to last a long time.
