Is this the right forum for a question on nursing camis?
What is the difference between side sling and full sling?
If you have used these, do you have a preference?

I really like nursing camis and have worn them for about 15 months. I bought a couple after my youngest was born. I buy Gilligan and O'Malley's side sling from Target (I also like their nursing bras). The side sling is fully open and the full sling has something that comes down the middle. The side sling seems more like wearing a cami over a sports bra.

You can see pictures if you click on the images at each of the links:

Thank you so much Christine!
I couldn't find a photo of the side sling folded down and couldn't figure out what a side-sling would look like   
These are just what I'm looking for, now that I know what they look like

Do you like the regular nursing bra or the sports variety? I like the look of the sports bra- looks comfy- but I'm not sure it will work under all tops.

Also, with the camis, how's the sizing? Do they run large, small or true to size? It's tough to decide at this point what size of ANYTHING will fit on my body after the baby arrives so it's a bit of a shot in the dark anyway.

I really like the extra long nursing tanks at from Target. They are super stretchy, so, I'm currently wearing one that I wore through my entire last pregnancy, and it still fits! The length is nice, of course for a pregnant belly, but also just in general so it doesn't ride up.

Oh, and they are a good price! (And I'm pretty sure mine wasn't made in China, which is so often the case when I find something for a good price).

I pmed you detailed answers.

I like the soft cup nursing bra and the camis seem to run true to size.

You and baby are in my prayers.
