Tank and Crop Nursing Top

I am breastfeeding my second child (Child II) now.  She is not as easy to nurse in public as my first, she plays with the cover, pulls it off, yanks it down, covers her face etc etc.  So, I don't feel comfortable just pulling up my shirt or pulling down a low neckline like I did for Child I.  So, I need some quick and easy nursing tops with a little more coverage.





I found some ideas on etsy, a tank that pulls down over a built in top.  But I decided to come up with something on my own, hopefully for a bit less $$.  I lucked into a big sale at Old Navy, where I ordered a couple of knit blouses for $3 each and some of their "first layer" tank tops.  And then picked up some actual crop top tees at Target for cheap.








I turned the knit blouses into crop tops by cutting off about 3 inches on the bottom, hemming the new bottom of the shirt, and then running 1/4 inch elastic inside the hem so the bottom of the shirt would stay under my boobs until I pull it up.

The t-shirts I just wear under the tank top as they are.


















To nurse, I pull down the scoop neck of the tank top and pull up the bottom of the blouse.  After the kiddo is latched I adjust the blouse for coverage.
