Re: nursing gowns

I'm getting ready to have baby #2, and with baby #1 I never used
anything special beyond a nursing bra. Regular old t-shirts were my
main stay...nothing altered or specially purchased. I plan on doing
the same with baby #2!

Does anyone have any ideas how best to convert a regular pattern to a

done this.

I was thinking of a t-shirt pattern, extending it to gown length, having
an overlay on top OR making the top layer over lap so you only have to
lift one side at a time.

Hi Sandy,

There was a link posted the other week about this..... hmm... rummages
in bookmarks folder ........ here we go!

Apart from some nightdresses, I have not bothered with nursing specifc
clothing, and I suppose if I had chosen pajamas, or button front night
shirts, I wouldn't have needed nursing specific nightdresses.

I used my standard T-shirt pattern, lengthen at the bottom, and slashed
the centre front down to a couple of inches below the bra line, and
added a placket front.

You could look up the thread from the other week as there may be some
other useful comments there.

If you want any more help on dressing whilst breast feeding or on
breastfeeding just yell (quickly as I'm off-line for 8 days from
Saturday). I'm on baby #1, and the breast feeding did not happen as
simply as I supposed it would do in my pre-baby days! We got our
problems sorted out and we're still happily breast feeding 6+ months
later. It's been an education learning about breast feeding.
