    Kmart sell awesome casual breastfeeding tops that cover your tummy and have the part that opens up underneath your boobs (hope that makes sense LOL!) they are only like $15 from memory! They're great.

    Wow Shanti I'm going to have to check them out!!!

    As another suggestion - my staple wardrobe is a Bonds bumps maternity singlet with whatever top on over the top. That way I can bf without exposing my lumpy bumpy tummy

    My Glamourmum tops were a gift and I know they're not cheap, BUT they are still in great condition and I wore them for about four years. So I think they might be worth the investment. I also found them handy for both when the weather was warm and then underneath a shirt when it got cooler. I will be able to wear them for #2 as they are not at all worn out.

    i have a stash of kmart bub to bub singlets, they are great to feed in. easy to access boob, protect your tummy, give you cover on top of breast. i just wish they came in a t shirt as well cos i don't really do naked shoulders so wear them with a hoody or a shirt. i have seen them in black, white, grey and red.

    I was a 10DD before I fell pregnant, a 12F during the pregnancy, and now I'm just massive (I know the 12F's no longer fit). So I couldn't find a Bonds or Kmart top to fit comfortably.

    I use BFing singlets from La Leche League. They're about $40 each I think. I wear them under everything, in leu of a bra.

    I have a couple of tops from Peppermint Maternity which I got at a PBC Expo on special. I just googled them and they're about $55 each. I love them, they're really comfy and "unBF" looking.

    Besides my bonds bumps singlets I haven't bought anything specifically for bf. I don't like wearing them in public due to the awful obvious clips on the straps. I just shop around and buys clothes that have necklines that I can yank down. Many of them are gathered so handle the constant pulling. Most of them have gone 17 months worth of bf now so are doing well. At home I wear anything I can pull up, I don't think the budgie minds seeing my flubby wubbies.

    Persephone, I am a 12DD this bub, but was a 12E-F my first, I managed to get bonds singlets in a 14DD and 14E (they were really hard to find though), being a larger size 14 it seemed to give more cup room but wasn't to roomy around the rest of the singlet. But any of the other proper bf tops I found the same, if I wanted them to fit nicely they cup was to small, but that happens regardless with any clothes now.
