No more Nursing Pads!!!

Yippee...it's been about 3 or 4 days of booby-frredom!!

i finally got up the guts to chuck em out. The first day i had some with me
just in case!!

DD is 3 months and over 18lbs....nursing great...

I second that Sara. The days I am bold enough to go without are the days
someone is talking to me, suddenly stops mid-sentance and then either
giggles or goes red in the face and tries to escape as quickely as possible
.....

at this rate, I am thinking they should come up with some multi-purpose
pads. Like breast pads that absorb yet also release time sented freshness,
or push up breast pads. (why not, only time in life I've ever been able to
see cleavage). Kinda like the latest victoria secret miracle bra, but for
nursing moms.....

Oddly mine leak everytime my mom or grandfather comes over for a
visit! My mom laughs and I don't think my grandfather notices.

You know what, that is such a cool idea! Maybe by the time our
children are grown breastfeeding will be "normal" enough for these
kinds of ideas! I like the push-up breast pads idea )

I think I still hold the record on that one. 22 months. Or 23. I don't
remember for sure, but I do know that when I tried to go without at 21, it was
too soon.

now i can star to feel a little more normal - go get some pretty bras -
forget those hideous houdini nursing monstrosities!!! and WHO came up with
underwire in a nursing bra - ouch!!!

I still have to buy them and hunt down the pads I like
because my stores that used to carry them dont any more??

you could try the cloth type- they are not as irritating and can be
rewashed.
they sell them at motherwear.com and there are plenty of online stores
that will pop up if you do a google search. There are cotton ones and
wool (sounds itchy, but its not that kind of wool) =)

I said that just for some humour....
But the fact that you actually went through and suggested that to them is
GREAT!
Good for you!

Hi,

I read a nursing mothers newsgroup. we were talking about breast pads (to
absorb leaking milk) when someone typed the following: "I am thinking they
should come up with some multi-purpose pads. Like breast pads that absorb
yet also release time sented freshness, or push up breast pads. (why not,
only time in life I've ever been able to see cleavage). Kinda like the
latest victoria secret miracle bra, but for nursing moms....."

I thought it was a great idea for your company to follow up on!
