Nursing Tanks

Blanqi

When I say “nursing tanks” I’m actually talking about two different (but similar) things—lounging tanks for early postpartum and layering tanks that help transform just about any old top into a nursing outfit.

Nursing Tanks for Early Postpartum

Suiek

H&M

Gap

Ingrid & Isabel

Motherhood Maternity

Kindred Bravely

Cake Maternity

Early postpartum nursing tanks are practical and forgiving. The best ones feature empire waists with fabric that doesn’t cling to your squishy postpartum belly. (Nobody needs that nonsense.) For the styles that don’t have empire waists, buy a couple in a size up for the first few weeks postpartum and a couple in your regular size for the remainder of the fourth trimester.

Form-fitting nursing tanks worn as an underlayer transform just about any top into a nursing top. Simply lift up your top layer, unhook your tank/bra, and feed without exposing much skin at all! The best layering tanks incorporate seamlessly with your nursing bra and feature smooth, stretchy fabric, enveloping your body like a loving hug.
