After weaning - when can underwire bras be worn?!
I'm afraid I love my underwires - got to give some shape to my droopy
breasts! But it has been so long since I wore one, and my nursing bras are too big now (I just hope my pre-breastfeeding bras are not too big - they were pretty tiny to begin to with!). I am paranoid about wearing an underwire too soon, and getting a plugged duct or similar. So, any advice on how long to leave it? Cathy |

Actually I wore well fitted underwire nursing bras and even accidently slept in them on occasion and they didn't cause any problems. -- Nikki Mama to Hunter (4) and Luke (2) |

OTOH, I tried to wear one the other day (we're down to first thing in the morning and last thing before bed for nursing) and got a lump almost immediately. In my case, one breast is a bit larger than the other so any bra is either too small on one side (causes lumps) or too big everywhere else (uncomfortable and doesn't provide support). So, I'm stuck in nursing bras for a bit longer as even the best fitting underwire nursing bra didn't work for me.

I've got to have something to look forward after this abrupt weaning! Cathy |

But I'll see how I go - the nursing bras don't really provide any support now - they just provide something for DD to play with when she lifts my shirt (but she is literally just playing - no interest in milkies at all).

FWIW, I have never not worn underwires I just couldnt give up the underwire and

Moni mom to Xyla 12-27-02 You're lucky! I've had too many problems that underwires were one thing to avoid. But not any more!! Cathy |
