BFing moms - bra question
It may sound dumb but do you wear your bra 24/7 with the pads inside? I am sick of wearing a bra ALL the time but I leak at night if I dont. Just curious... thanks.

Re: BFing moms - bra question
I do..although I got a night bra that isn't as bulky as my daily bra. I do wear the pads all the time though

Re: BFing moms - bra question
I bought the nursing tank tops from target and basically lived in them... they have that bra part attached and I would put the pads in that. I wore them under my clothes during the day and slept in them at night too! I stocked up in those!!!

Re: BFing moms - bra question
I've been wearing one all day but at night I wear a tank top with support in it with the pads in that. I find it more comfortable - less rubbing and constricting.
Can I add a question - what kind of sports bra are you using and how tight?

Re: BFing moms - bra question
I have to. I don't want them to sag. I also leak a lot so I use a pad day and night.
I have been wearing a bra day and night since I am in last trimester of pregnancy. DS is almost 4 months

Re: BFing moms - bra question
I wear a sports bra or nursing bra all the time and I only wear the pads if I know it will be a while before I feed DS. I don't leak unless 4 or 5 hrs go by.

Re: BFing moms - bra question
I wear a bra 24/7 with the pads just in case. I hate that I have to wear them all the time, I love the 15 min I'm without it when I'm in the shower!

Re: BFing moms - bra question
I use too. But I got so tired of being confined all the time. So now I do not sleep with a bra on.
But I dont leak nearly as often as I use to. Plus I know when I am more likely to leak now.

Re: BFing moms - bra question
I did for probably 6-7 months and it was SSSSOOOOOOO annoying. This coming from a girl who HAd (no longer) very perky boobs and didn't wear a bra unless I absolutely had to. Now I wear a bra every day, but I let the girls breath at night.

Ha, I could have written this same post! 
(I bet I'm the only one who only owns 2 nursing bras.  ) (Yes, that leads to me washing my bras WAY too often)

Re: BFing moms - bra question
When Im home I wear the nursing bras and tanks (from Target) and when we go out I wear my reg padded bras with the pads inside...I feel like I have to wear a bra all the time bc my bbs get so big and leak quickly...plus, after every feed I put on the Lansinoh cream and it is lanolin so I want to make sure I don't stain my clothes.

Re: BFing moms - bra question
I wear the nursing tanks day and night pretty much. I just started leaking though so this is only a new problem for me. I hate the bras though, too cumbersome.

Re: BFing moms - bra question
I usually wear a nursing tank. Only my left boob leaks  a lot. So I'll wear a pad on that side if I'm going out. I have great Medela nursing bras that Gap sells. If I'm around the house I don't wear a bra... only tanks.
At night, I'll wear a tank.
My FAVORITE nursing tank

Re: BFing moms - bra question
Thanks ladies.
I am definitely getting some nursing tank tops. Right now I am wearing my 2 nursing bras and my old Bodyshapers from NY & Co. which arent easy to nurse with.
And I totally agree with the poster that mentioned the 15 minutes free in the shower.
