Breastfeeding moms....

Do you wear your nursing bra to bed at night? I've heard you're suppose to and I do most of the time, but there are some nights I just want to be free of it.

When I was nursing...I never wore a nursing bra...just a regular one, and never to bed.

Of course, DS would nurse most of the night, so it was rather pointless

Happy to report that 9 years later..****ies look great and are in the right spot.

I just weaned DS. What I wore to bed for a year were my maternity tank tops with the built in shelf bra. I put a nursing pad in there (I leak a lot) and just sleep in that for a top. It is also very eay to nurse in at night.

Highlight to read- I don't even lift my shirt up. I just pull my breast out over my shirt. Works great that way.

Always...hated waking up to a swimming pool! But then again I was referred to as "the cow" for the amount of milk I was producing for one scrawny baby!! I'd often even double up the pads in them so I wouldn't leak!!

I nursed for 19 months and I never wore a nursing bra at night. DD usually slept with me and it was easier not to wear any bra and then she could just eat whenever she wanted. I got a lot more sleep that way.

I absolutely could not go without.

 

[CanBeGrumpy]

I never wore any sort of bra to bed. I very rarely leaked, though, and I am small-chested (started out as an A, made it up to a B while breastfeeding).

 

[KirstenB]

I always leaked too much to make this even an option.

 

[mtemm]

I never leaked, and never wore a bra to bed. my friend is currently bf'g and has to because she leaks so much.

 

[FreshTressa]

Oh...yah...I guess it would matter if you leaked. I never did, so I forgot about that little problem!

 

[HLAuburn]

I never wear a bra to bed, breastfeeding or not. But I never had a problem with leaking either. I don't use nursing bras much at all actually...they weren't supportive enough for me, so I ended up wearing them around the house for awhile, but gave them up.

 

[juligrl]

Never wore a nursing bra period, they just weren't supportive enough for me. I had generously sized C-cups before kids anyhow though. Currently breastfeeding DD#2. Never had leaking issues either though.

 

[ChrisnSteph]

I did, but just because I didn't want to leak all over my sheets at night.

 

[Ginamarie]

Before DD I never wore a bra to bed, but now I always do. I've been nursing DD for almost 5 months. In the first few weeks I had a lot of leaking issues, but the leaking isn't as bad these days.

 

[katerkat]

I wore a sleep bra from Motherhood. Supportive and easy to move.

 

[FreshTressa]

I did, but just because I didn't want to leak all over my sheets at night.

Totally OT...but we were Tri-Lams and Omega-Mus at a costume party tonight...DH had a badge with that symbol on it!

 

[MrsKreamer]

I wear my nursing bra all the time. I leak so bad that even if I hear hear Ds suck on his paci hard enough, my milk will let down.

This may sound silly, but I slept with a towel between me and my pjs. I HATED wearing those stupid nursing bras, and a towel was much more comfy.

I used a towel too. It's much easier (and more absorbent) to wash a towel each day than all the sheets.
