Postnatal clothes advice please!!

[Munchkin30]

Hey all,
I'm due my second in March so should be here before I know it! But after a couple of back go back pregnancies I don't know what the heck to wear in the few months post pregnancy. I'm only 5ft 1 and will be Breastfeeding (hopefully!!) so I need nursing tops, comfy supportive trousers and knickers and nursing dresses that don't look like tents!!
Any ideas?!?

I'm wearing tops with buttons so I can feed and then shirt night dresses, they are just so comfy, bottoms jeans or tracksuit... Xxxxx

I'm wearing the jojo mama wrap around maternity tops with a vest underneath. I pull the wrap around top to the side/down and pull the vest top up (having already unclipped maternity bra and pulling that down inside both tops)

This keeps the top half of boobs covered and also underneath so really the only thing exposed is the nipple and enough around to latch.

My boobs are huge (32H cup) so i Do not like just pulling tops down as it really is whopping the whole thing out if nothing is staying above the boobs (although at home I just whop them out over both tops as no need to be discreet)

So basically I haven't bought any specific breastfeeding tops and carrying on with the tops I got for maternity.

Again can do the same with dresses if wrap around. If you want specific then Frugi do some lovely BF dresses.

I'm still in maternity trouser at the moment also (5 weeks post partum) but i'm not fussed about being out of them tbh as they're comfy. Obviously I do intend to get back to 'normal' but the coverage of the belly from over bump trousers is handy at helping to give some support to the jelly belly!

My lo us 9 days old. My nipples are really sore still at the moment so I'm struggling with wearing a bra.

Most comfortable item so far is a button up cotton night shirt for bed or when I have no visitors. Otherwise these are fab....

I second the h and m nursing vests, they are fab! I tend to wear the nursing vest then a normal long vest and then whatever over the top that can either pull up or unbutton because I know I have the extra vest on as well!

H & M are just the best for this!

Great! What have you got from there?

I honestly think I wore all my normal clothes really apart from easy to pull up tops. And big comfy knickers for the first few weeks!
Unless you're having a section or get stitches wearing normal pants or jeans shouldn't be uncomfortable xx

Gap has really comfy jeggings - comfortable to wear at home, nice enough to wear out, stretchy enough to fit over our bellies and butts
