Hi! Happy to help, I've looked into this quite a bit myself too. For soft pull-on nursing bras without hooks, quite a few mums around here swear by Bodily's Everything Bra, especially for the comfort factor at night; one of my neighbours actually used it for all four years of nursing her kids. It's wireless and stretchy, so you can wear it to sleep without feeling squeezed, which is really the dream when you're dealing with engorgement or just want something zero-fuss during the day.
For nursing camisoles, the pull-down or fold-down styles tend to be more affordable than structured bras, and they layer nicely under your existing tops too, so you're not replacing your whole wardrobe. The trade-off is they give less support than a proper bra, but for lounging at home or under loose clothing, they're honestly brilliant and budget-friendly.
I'd say start with the Bodily if you want one proper investment piece that lasts, then add a couple of simple camisoles on rotation so you're not washing constantly. That combo worked well for me!
