Last 2010 Thrifty Mom To Be Tip!

Nursing tanks and nursing bras are a must for new moms. I'm a first timer but have already received a good bit of advice on what to get and when to get it.

The best time for a nursing tank, I'm told, is during or right before the last few weeks of pregnancy. The best time for a nursing bra is a few weeks after the birth.

I'm rather impatient right now. I want to be able to pack my hospital bag, have everything off to the side and be ready. I'm 32 weeks pregnant and so I'm not in the last few weeks but I went ahead and took a bra and made an easy modification. I'll be sure to buy more tanks or bras when the time comes (thank God I have a coupon!) but for right now, this is what I did:

I took a bra, a tank and hook and eye loops and created a simple nursing tank and a nursing bra. It's super simple to do and I don't have good enough photos to show of the process but basically attach the loops to the bra and tank.

This was pretty simple for me. I'm not a seamstress and I honestly don't sew very well so doing it this way worked best. Didn't take much time at all. If you need better directions, feel free to comment and I'll explain it better!

Here' s a bad picture of the bra, sorry!
