My husband showed me your blog recently. Keep up the great work. I do own a few nursing tops and they have been great. Motherwear http://www.motherwear.com has great sales if you want to pick up a few essentials. Especially for nursing in a sling, but I think having a few nursing tanks works well also. You can use your regular tops with the tanks and be pretty well covered up. I think I invested in about 3 nursing bras and 2 tanks. Being on the larger side I had to invest in an expensive bra, but it was well worth it. Considering all the savings we've had without needing formula I think it's been worth it. It's been 15 mos and counting! I bought a nursing cover-up but should sell it because I never used it. It was helpful in the very beginning when we both didn't know what we were doing, but after that it just got in the way. Waste of money. I do have a boppy (you could really use any pillow) and the funny thing is that my toddler now runs for it and tries to grab it when she wants to nurse. Very cute! Good luck. Hi!

They are a great price and they have great variety. I've been nursing for 9 months now and never owned a nursing top. I do find that deep v-necks are helpful since I can usually feed either over or under. I also find nursing clothing to be overpriced so I don't bother. Good luck! I swear by my Target nursing bras!

I didn't even bother with a blanket or nursing shawl. Between the shirt and the baby, everything was fully covered. Nah, just a loose fitting top and nursing bra work great.

What I really like are the nursing tanks by Glamourmom. They are kind of expensive but I prefer them to bras and they are similarly priced. The nursing poncho seems particularly unnecessary. As you mention, a blanket works just as well. I’m currently nursing and don’t own any nursing tops. What I really like are the nursing tanks by Glamourmom.

Whether out in public or not, seemed my kids liked the 'cuddliness' of the blanket.

I've found that any baggy, or loose shirt serves perfectly well. If you really want extra protection than layer a shirt over a tank top, and that will work fine, but in my experience nursing three kids, loose tshirts are just fine. What you do need are good nursing bras- and more than you think you will. I found some great ones at Target for $12.99 each. No, you don’t need nursing shirts.
