Nursing Moms - hospital question
What did you wear in the hospital? I hate nightgowns. I don't want to spend money on nursing nightgowns when I have large comfy pj pants I wear. The only thing is I usually sleep in them and a t-shirt. With nursing (twins), I know that isn't practical (the t-shirt part). What did you wear and what do you suggest in this situation? Is there such a thing as nursing t-shirts/tanks? If so, where do I get them? I guess in the hosptal I can wear a zipper sweatshirt (my friend did that when she was there), but at home I'd rather not wear that every night. Any suggestions?

Re: Nursing Moms - hospital question
I bought nursing tank tops from Motherhood and then wore a zip shirt over it. I also just wore comfy baggy pants. I only did the night gown thing the day that I gave birth but after that first shower.....regular clothing.

Re: Nursing Moms - hospital question
Anything is really fine. I had pajamas with buttons down the front. If you're having a c-section, you'll definitely want your OWN clothes since you'll be there for 4 days (I felt SO good once I showered and put on my own pajamas!). Also, I've been nursing for 4 months now and not once have worn any nursing clothing (aside from a bra  ). I just pull up my shirt and cover my half-exposed stomach with a burp cloth.

Nursing tanks are great. But if you like T-shirts, try an XL men's v-neck T-shirt. I wore that and it was really easy to pull it over to the side to nurse the baby.

Re: Nursing Moms - hospital question
i am nursing twins too. there may be a chance you will have a c-section and not really want to wear pajama bottoms. for me a MAJOR thing is also how crazy hot i was! after giving birth you sweat buckets and then to have both babies on you to nurse is like having 2 furnaces on you. i recommend cool cotton nightgowns.
at first, i wore the hospital gown, which had snaps at the shoulder, which was easy to open up for nursing. when i was finally able to take a shower (which felt great!) i wore one of the night gowns i bought. they were just regular (non nursing) night gowns from sears with buttons down the front.
i don't think you really need nursing clothes, except of course, good nursing bras. when first at home, if i did wear a shirt, i just wore a regular tank-again because i was so hot.
good luck and feel free to fm me with any specific questions regarding nursing twins, positioning is a little different than nursing one.

Re: Nursing Moms - hospital question
I wore the hospital gown the first night because I was bleeding alot!
I brought pajamas that had a tank underneath and a little shirt to go over it.
They have nursing tanks and regular tanks work well also.

Re: Nursing Moms - hospital question
I was in the hospital gown for the first day and a half because I was hooked up to an IV for days since I had an unexplained fever. After I was able to take a shower I wore nursing tanks (I got them from Target) I still wear them now that I am at home and now that it is getting colder I put a zip up sweatshirt over it.

Re: Nursing Moms - hospital question
I wore nursing pj's from pajamagram at night and just a nursing bra and tank shirt during the day. I totally agree with all the other posters that after that first shower being in your own clothes felt sooooooooo good!!!

Re: Nursing Moms - hospital question
I wore the hospital gown the first night. Then after that I had these great nursing tanks that I got from motherhood. Im sure they have some sort of t-shirt too. I also had a pj set that had buttons down the front. Good Luck!
