LAMAZE Maternity Nursing Camisole

I've been wearing this shirt in various sizes for years (I have 3 children under 5) and it has always been a favorite of mine. This does run small. I'm 5'3, 26.5" waist, 30" band size and 37" bust size just after nursing. The photo is of me in a medium 6 months pp. In most other clothes, I am between a small and x-small. I own the small and it is slightly too tight. The neckline does seem much lower just before I need to nurse, just as a note. This is really not a maternity shirt. I would recommend this shirt highly after a few months pp.

Holy wow I don't know where to start here. This top fits way too small. I went by the size chart, and when I say it fits way too small, I mean laughably small I'm a pretty petite girl, but pre-pregnancy I was a 28E. Postpartum i'm a 28G. Even before my breasts got that large, it didn't fit right. I could tell that even if I had smaller breasts, they would still pop out of the top of the tank top. The shelf bra is barely enough to keep any size bosom covered unless you're an A cup. And the length! See how in the picture she's pull it down? Because thats what you'll be doing literally all day. It hits the very top of your jeans, and postpartum, or even during pregnancy, thats not something you want. I'd think real long and hard about this before you decide to purchase. Unfortunately for me, I washed it before trying it on and now i can't return it. Save yourself some trouble and look elsewhere for a nursing tank.

So, I think Lamaze listened to all the other moms that were complaining about their shirts being too short and the bust being too small for a postpartum body because I bought this shirt in size small hoping it would fit like my other size small Lamaze nursing shirts, but it fits like a medium from the previous style. I would say if you are wearing this in the first 6 months postpartum you'll appreciate the roomier fit. Unfortunately (for this product, not me, lol), I practice extended breastfeeding, so I needed a nursing tank to correspond with my pre-pregnancy weight.Overall, it is a nice shirt though, with fairly good quality. The stripes are preppy and cute.

I truly tried to like this product but it was extremely uncomfortable. I ordered a large but it fit like a small. The support straps were tight and in an awkward place when you pull the front down to nurse, also with it being such a small size, my breast were overflowing from the top, not a good look. I eventually had to return it due to it's uncomfortableness and I didn't want to use this top for years to come and regret it. I bought the Leading Lady Women's Nursing Tank Stylish Cami Inner Shelf Bra, very comfortable, the opening for the support fabric goes around the breast and not right over it (like the Lamaze did). I recommend it compared to this product.

Underneath the camisole is a strange strip of fabric and the placement of it is totally weird for breastfeeding. Other camisoles and nursing bras are different, with two sides and then a gap in the middle. Well the fabric on this one just goes down the middle, directly over your poor, sore nipple. It's weird, uncomfortable and impractical. I wore it during a visit to a lactation consultant who was surprised when she saw it and said it the strip went right over a milk duct or something like that and that is bad for milk flow. So if that is true I imagine that defeats the purpose for most.

I don't know... most XL-sized women have substantial bust... and especially so when nursing. The bra area of this camisole is so small it gives me cleavage like a push-up bra. Which is ridiculous when you're nursing. Then there is a weird flap that I assume goes over the nipple but will most assuredly cause duct clogging whenever engorgement sets in. I thought of cutting it, but it's the piece connected to the clasp and would ruin the entire top if it were cut. This is a really bad design. I was looking for something more like the design of an actual nursing bra, and this is a huge disappointment.

I have been putting off buying a new nursing tank for what feels like an eternity, but finally decided to just get one. I also decided to try a different brand than what my other tanks are and I am so disappointed!! I went to try on this shirt and it was tight around my breasts (34D), so tight that the clip almost instantly snapped! The shirt itself was not too small, it fit rather well, but the clips are very cheaply made and weak. When money is tight, it is really upsetting to have a situation like this... I went to set up a return and the site did say that a return was not necessary and that my refund was processing. I truly hope that I get a refund for this! Regardless, I will NEVER purchase this brand again because I am not willing to take the risk.

I bought the medium, as the small sizes I purchased before were a bit tight. The step up in size was really significant, and the medium has a bit too much extra room - specifically under the arm. I am a size 34C - I think this product would likely work well for someone with a larger bustling. Also, the white color is a bit on the blue side instead of a true white. Otherwise, the product is extremely comfortable and price is good.
