Nursing Tops

Since i've gone and had and offspring i've obviously become more interested in clothing that facilitates breastfeeding.  For the most part I've been very disappointed.

I bought a couple of nursing tops from Thyme Maternity.  They were on the expensive side for glorified T-Shirts and after about 2 washings they looked like I had washed them about 50 and they looked a little on the worn side.

Then I tried a Gap nursing top I got from ebay.  I was much happier with this, however I did have to get my mom to modify it a little bit so it wouldn't gape.  Also, the V-neck is a bit low for people wearing nursing bras.  Their sizing is on the larger side so I should have bought a medium.  Mind you I did get a medium about a week ago and it still needs a bit of modification.  The up side though is that is is super comfortable.  The Gap does have comfy T-Shirt material.  The other downside is that you can't buy them in Canada as they stopped selling them in Canada reasonably recently.

I did find a really good shirt.  And it's a Canadian company too which makes me happy.  This company Momzelle makes fantastic t-shirts.  I ordered 1 and  a couple of tank tops.  They are super comfortable, the openings are easy to use and they just make me happy.  Also in the grand scheme of things they aren't that expensive.  They are more than I would ever want to pay for a t-shirt or tank top, but at the same time they are less expensive than many of the other nursing tops out there that can go for about $70.  I would recommend these shirts to anyone.  I bought the V-Neck Nursing T and the V-Neck Nursing Tank.

Welcome!

In December 2010 I had my first child.  He's a sweet little boy and I love him to bits.  As all expecting mothers are, we are bombarded with all the advertising and gadgets etc.... that we absolutely NEED in order to have out children grow up healthy, safe, and having fun.

In reality you don't need every single thing out there.  And I've found that not quite everything is as useful as it seems.  At least to me.  Recently a number of my friends have become pregnant and have asked what items I thought were useful and where to buy them.   I was putting together a straight spreadsheet to send to them, but this is something that will be constantly updated as the little guy grows older, so I figured I would start a blog and share it with the world.

Most of the locations for buying items is Toronto as that's the area I live in, but items will all have links to their websites if they exist.

As a disclaimer, my reviews are based on what I liked which may be different to things other people liked.
