I did invest a bit in
nursing clothing (especially with baby number one), but then found some
nursing bras that are actually cheaper than my regular bras (and that I liked a heck of a lot better than the
expensive ones), and realized that
nursing tops were pretty unnecessary for me (stretchy t shirts and
tanks that I normally wear work well for me).
As a
nursing, stay - at - home, homesteading mama, my other mainstay would be loose, interesting, not - too -
expensive t - shirts and
tanks.
