The 7 best nursing tank tops for large breasts

Whether you are are breastfeeding or pumping, nursing tanks are versatile members of your maternity wardrobe. You can wear it as a top, as an under-layer or with an open cardigan.

It’s hard for moms with large breasts to find nursing bras that are supportive and comfy. Nursing tanks are more stretchy, provide better coverage and are more comfortable than nursing bras. They can also stretch to hug your baby bump during pregnancy and hide your post-partum tummy.

While you’re here, are you all ready for sucessful breastfeeding? If not, the Complete Online Breastfeeding Class will provide you with comprehensive training on breastfeeding from beginning to end. For $57 (instead of $97), you not only get a comprehensive breastfeeding resource you can access anytime, you also get the chance to ask questions (even though it is not live) and join a private Facebook support group.
