No not this time around. I did with the others because I leaked at night but I'm not having that problem this time. Also I think it probably helps if you are quite big to begin with at it can be pretty uncomfortable but I don't have that problem either..hehe. |

With Maya I did until about 5 mths when I stopped leaking bucketloads. With the gremlins I didn't coz my poor boobies were so sore and cracked and damaged I wanted to let them breathe, but I did have to sleep with a towel stuffed up my top  -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Ah lol Scott there *is* light at the end of the tunnel.
Personally I don't like wearing a bra to bed but when I'm full and leaky it is DEFINITELY the way to go. But... I haven't been leaky for a month or two now so I am 'free' at nights again! 
11am? What about work??? ------------- |

So does it make a differance if your Busty or not you still end up with sore boob's?
it's just easier to control spills and keep them in place? Don't they just go to a nuteral position on your chest?

i never had a leaking problem, but they get sore if they are unsupported, and its just easier to keep them where i can see them, instead of them hiding under my arms if i lie on my back 
and if you dont like that you shouldnt have started this topic!!! haha LMAO! ------------- Lyla - mum to Xanthe - my big 4 year old

So does it make a differance if your Busty or not you still end up with sore boob's?
It has a lot more to do with how regular the baby feeds. If they suckle but don't feed, they get the milk in (which hurts) but then don't drink it away!! Same with if the baby has a change in routine and it has been a while since the last feed. As solids increase and feeding decrease, so does the fullness and soreness (decrease). I'm down to 4-6 feeds a day with Kryssi (but don't bank on that cause she's feeding less than some of the OB 9mos lol) and am feeling comfy now. it's just easier to control spills and keep them in place? Ummm I dunno, I didn't find it 'easy' but maybe it's 'easier'. I used to sleep with breast pads (which you need a bra for btw). Don't they just go to a nuteral position on your chest?
Haha that made me laugh! Nup, they hang according to gravity, and the more they 'hang', the more they leak, the more the body thinks they need refilling, and the fuller and sorer they get! Sooo not helpful! That's my main preference for a bra during night-feeding days. Sorry for all the dumb man questions it's cause we don't have them and not allowd to touch at moment
Ah, see, you are learning already! That's the number 1 key to keeping a bf mum happy. Sorry dude, they're the biggest they'll ever be but murphy's law dictates that bigness comes with the 'no-touchee' rule ------------- |

Nope I dont sleep with a bra on. But then again I never got sore breastfeeding. Not even in the beginning. Only twice so far this year and that was due to a clogged duct. First time I didnt realise what was happening and the second time it took half a day to clear once I realised it is happening again.
Had a bit of leakage problem like the first 2 weeks and not again. I do now and then leak slightly if she skips a BF milk time but not really. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

On a more serious note BSDH, I think its good that you want to be more supportive of BS. Happy wife/partner makes for a happy home. The truth of that is becoming more clear to me as years go by. And from watching other peoples households. ------------- Defending the male species since 1980

I have to or else I wake up sore and in puddles still at 5 months. I do find it a lot more comfortable being bigger in that department. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |
