i've seen some maternity singlets at myers, Made by loveable...i think 35 each or a 2 pack for 60...something like that. I've still got 11 weeks to go and tried it on seeing as its meant to be for pg too but they were quite short on my stomach. I could have got away with wearing it now but don't think it would have kept for much longer so just decided once the baby is born I might try them on again and see what i think.
Ooh I like the two singlets idea. I just wear normal shirts and pull them up, letting Bub cover my bear belly. But I worry that I will stretch the fabric.
I would love to use a nursing top but I can't find one that fits. I tried on one at a maternity shop and it was too big round the belly when I was 7 months pregnant - so def too big for nursing.
A few suggestions... Moms in Mind are relatively cheap, around $23 AU for a top including postage, I have four & they are awesome. They are in Singapore, so just google The other idea I've used is to get a belly band which are relatively cheap, then pull your normal top up. That said, some people like me, don't like all the extra fabric up around their chin while feeding.

thanks for that Sarah, great site - and i love the pics they have of the breastfeeding mums n bubs, and the sling photos.
i can't actually work out from the photos, how babies access your milk, but have emailed to ask if there are photos that show the openings in the tops.
Has anyone tried the Nursingwear Site - esp the blissful babes breastfeeding tankini? i'd love to hear feedback. i'm a D cup, wondering if they are supportive enough (shelf bra).
I think it says in most of the desciptions. With mine, two are baby doll style & the part above the baby doll seam is separate so it just lifts up. The other two have two layers on the front of the top that have a split on either side then openings in the second layer, so the top layer just gets pushed aside. Does that make sense at all?
Thanks Sarah, they have some good things available. I hadnt even thought of the BF with a sling/carrier requirements of a top, but some of the styles that company have look like they`d work well.
I just hd a look & with the Australian dollar being less now the prices seem to be a bit higher than when I bought mine a few months ago, but still their clearance lines are quite cheap. I'm thinkig of getting a few more for summer
