Where to buy cheap Feeding Maternity tops?

[Salsa]

Hmmm - was really not sure where to post this thread, so Im sorry if it annoys anyone for being here!

I have enough clothes to get me through the next 3 mths, but I have started to wonder what I will wear after bubs is here. I plan to BF and have seen on a few online stores "feeding tops". Can anyone suggest a place I can go and try them on ie; kmart, myers etc and see if these feeding tops are my kind of thing. I dont want to have to pay too much either if I can help it, many of the online ones sell for over $50 and if I want a couple then thats a bit more than I want to spend. Im just looking for T- shirt type thing.


eta. i did look at Kmart and Myer already but could only find regular maternity tops, not feeding ones.

just subscribing, cos i'm after breastfeeding tops too. we're 23 months along, so i can't justify buying the online prices when i have no idea how much longer i'll need them, for all i know, my bub could self wean any time now.

but some tops i bought (in the normal section, not maternity) of places like Target, kmart, big w etc, were CROSS OVER tops. to wear it by itself, when pregnant and / or breastfeeding, you'd be flashing more than you'd want to! so i wear them with a breastfeeding camisole on underneath.

and CROSSOVER dresses (that have a tie for around the waist) are excellent for breastfeeding in too. You do the tie up as tight or as loose as you want, so PERFECT for when you're pregnant. Got that one at Target, just happened to be the fashion in mid 2006 - crossover tops and crossover dresses (in the regular section).

but alot of the "normal" fashion, especially for summer, uses some very synthetic fabrics - i ended up wanting nothing but cotton, breathable fabric - and stuff i didn't have to iron.

I'd check out big w, target and k-mart as they're pretty good with prices, also try ebay you never know what you'll find!

Umm, this may not help, but I just where singlets doubled over; pulling one up and one down.
I got all mine from JayJays in heaps of different colours 2 for $15.

Yup, I do the same as cookiemonster. I wear a stretchy singlet under a t-shirt. I also got some crossover tops and button up tops which are nicer to wear out. I still wear singlets under to hide the mummy tummy noone needs to see, LOL! Just pull it down under my boob. I got mine from big w in about 5 different colours, only $10 each and doesn't matter that they get stretched, just buy new ones every few months. I did the same with DD.

Hi,

Mothers Direct is the store of the Australian Breastfeeding Association. They have great bras and tops and excellent service.
Having said that, special breastfeeding clothes can be nice, but aren't necessary. I have fed 4 children for many years each and have never owned any special breastfeeding clothes - just pull up your tshirt and off you go.

Also look for t-shirts that have a few buttons at the top so you can unbutton them or wear a cotton shirt that buttons down. That way you can just unbutton and away you go. You can find some good used ones on eBay for a decent price too.
