Hi Sandy,
There was a link posted the other week about this..... hmm... rummages =
in bookmarks folder ........ here we go!
http://www.kellymom.com/parenting/links/bf-links-sewing.html
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=20
the centre front down to a couple of inches below the bra line, and=20
added a placket front.
You could look up the thread from the other week as there may be some=20
other useful comments there.
If you want any more help on dressing whilst breast feeding or on=20
breastfeeding just yell (quickly as I'm off-line for 8 days from=20
Saturday). I'm on baby #1, and the breast feeding did not happen as=20
simply as I supposed it would do in my pre-baby days! We got our=20
problems sorted out and we're still happily breast feeding 6+ months=20
later. It's been an education learning about breast feeding.

Thanks Sarah! The sight is great and it gave me a great idea to make =
a gown. The one I chose was the horizontal opening secured by snap =
tape. This will be quite simple to make from scratch. =20
I am hoping to successfully breastfeed this one. My first child was =
born premature and never took to sucking. I still pumped every three =
hours so he would at least get the benefits of breastmilk.
