Target has the least expensive bras, and they do the trick, but my favorites were at the Gap. They are pricey though.

I like the Medela sleep bras. They are about $17, found and Baby Mother and More store in Gilbert, or I think Gap Maternity sells them too (Gap Baby at Chandler Mall)

This is more of a negative rec, but I hated the nursing camis with built-in bras I got from Motherwear--fit poorly (I tried several sizes), gapped funny, didn't hold up well at all. Just to save you the time, trouble and money I went through!

I got my nursing bras and sleep bras at Motherhood Maternity. They were both very inexpensive and comfortable. I also thought they washed well and held up considering the price.

I've had 4 pregnancies and I HATE nursing bras, I've tried just about everyone on the market. The best ones I found were at Target and they are more like a sports bra. They are $10 and they almost look like a sports bra that criss/cross in front. I still wear them now while I'm not pregnant!

Walmart has nursing camis and soft nursing bras.. at night when i was nursing I wore some BarelyThere bras - they were stretchy shelf bras that were light and comfy - I got those at Kohls.

I bought a few nursing bras/tops from Motherhood and disliked most of them. They fit poorly plus you have to give extra care to the tops because they all shrink like crazy if you put them in the dryer. The Motherhood sleep bra is really nice though-- I had several and loved them. Personally, I had much better luck with Target nursing tops and I actually got my favorite daytime nursing bra at Walmart for only like $10 and it wasn't even on sale. Best wishes and happy nursing! :)

I love the tanks that I got at Target! I also got some at Walmart that aren't too bad either. They definitley compete with the stuff I have from Motherhood. Good luck.

Target sells great nursing bras by Gillian and O'Malley. I have "expensive" ones (cost about $36), and the Target ones (about $16) - the Target ones are actually my favorites! More comfortable, softer fabric, and very easy to do/undo with one hand. I have the ones with the cotton and mesh fabric; NOT the underwire ones (which I didn't like). My breasts are on the small side, so they don't need much support.

Target Gilligan and Omally brand. Loved them! They only come in grey, white, black and tan but hey, they're for nursing right? Very comfortable and affordable. I had some of the fancier ones form motherhood but always preferred my good old Target bras over the fancy ones!

Personally, I HATED nursing bras. With 2 kids, I made it through all my nursing without using Nursing Bras more than a handful of times.

My preference was to use sports bras - many are less industrial than they used to be. I felt more comfortable and better fitted. Same with tanks. I found some that were more elastic than others and preferred those personally over nursing tanks.

I know I'll be outside the norm with my recommendations, but I hope it helps.

I had a hard time finding nursing bras in my size. I used figleaves.com and was able to find inexpensive bras in my size. You can type in the style and size and come up with numerous options. They also have reviews that I found helpful.

I bought some very comfortable sleeping nursing bras online. I think at motherwear.com. They are a stretchy cotton and pull on over your head so you don't have any uncomfortable clasps.

Here's a link - http://www.motherwear.com/cat.cfm/cid/53

I think mine are the last one in the row, but it's hard to tell since there isn't a very good picture. I never found a nursing tank/cami that fit correctly.
