    Breastfeeding tops from Target?

    Just wondering if anyone has used them for feeding in and what they thought of them?
    The little opening is it big enough to feed through without being in the way?
    Sorry might seam like an odd couple of questions but the one I have atm (32 weeks gest) is quite comfy just wondering is it worth buying more. I don't want to buy more if they are no good for feeding cause this is our last pregnancy, but if they ARE suitable to feed in then I want to get some more for they are comfy atm when nothing else really is and if they will have a life after pregnancy well all the better and worth the investment otherwise I'm thinking I'll raid dh's tshirt draw if they aren't good for breastfeeding.
    I don't like the breast feeding capes....way too hard! Balancing a feeding baby and wrestling a cape. just the thought is a turn off.
    TIA

    Not sure if i'm thinking of the right tops, but I have a number of t-shirt tops and 3/4 sleeve tops from Target that are breastfeeding tops and I love them. I have fairly big boobs and I had no trouble getting them out and feeding DS

    If they are the ones i know, they didn't work for me. I don't if my boobs point the wrong way but i they were really fiddly and i had to show more skin because i was trying to poke my nips through the hole.

    Ive got some. They're not the best cut. The 'hole' isn't quite wide but I somewhat make do.

    I have quite a few and I really like them. I have reasonably big boobs - 14DD- and the opening is fine.

    I've got a couple 3/4 sleeve tops and have found feeding easier if I lift my breast out of the cup rather than unclipping my bra itms.

    thanks for your replies. I'm not exactly a little girl in the boobs department at a cup size e-f depending on the bra.
    I have in private, attempted to fake it...if you know what I mean but nothing compaires to the real experiences of others. Thanks again.

    My mum gave me a T shirt one but I wore it once and tore it off in frustration- after you've pulled aside the discretion layer bit you are left with a very small patch of boob for baby to access. Even less so after you've unclipped your bra. Too much fussing about and pulling/holding stuff aside IMO

    Ps I'm not that large either- a small 10D or 12C depending on the bra brand.

    I like them. I have 4. They do stretch over time, so they get easier to use, but then they also get saggy and don't look as great. For a newborn, I preferred singlets or camis, but I had a Brissie summer baby. As things cooled down, the tees were great for me.

    Also, there's a pretty limited range of colours and patterns, so you can end up looking a bit clone-y. I feel that way, anyway.

    I have the bfing camis from Target and like them. They allow the breast to be fully free to feed, which is important for me as I can't risk blocked ducts from constrictive bras or clothing. I just wear other shirts or tops over the camis if it isn't hot and then unbutton them or lift them over.

    I have other bfing shirts with smallish openings and find they get sopping wet because the material is too close to my messy baby's mouth!

    I've got 2, and I find they are comfy to wear and to feed from, and usually after bubs has gone into the milk drunk state, I don't realise that my boob is still hanging out of the top until the boob gets cold. (but then its only day 5 for me) I went back to target to see if I could get any more colours / patterns, but the target I went to only has one small hanger of maternity stuff, so no luck there.
