bra/ longterm breastfeeding

[sfxmum]

i am sure this is going to sound silly but...

i am bf my 18wk and plan to continue for a very long time still. this is a pleasure and what i always planned on doing anyway but I hate bf bras they do not give adequate support and completly mess up any clothes. i am fine about wearing them while i bf on demand and while dd basic food is milk.

what i would like to know is if when feeds are down to one or two a day do i have to keep wearing non wired bras? i heard they create problems with milk ducts. is it so?

for the sake of my vanity

sfx,I normally only wear underwired bras so also found the b/feeding ones trying (although I did ask on MN a few months ago about underwired b/feeding bras and I think Blooming Marvellous do one!)
I switched back to underwired after a while and it caused me no problems whatsoever.

When my DS2 was about 14 months or so I went to the bra shop looking for another feeding bra (didn't occur to me to buy anything else), the assistant said it would be fine to buy a normal underwired bra, was only doing two feeds a day at the time, both of them at home, so no need for discrete flaps, LOL!

However DS2 gave up b/feeding of his own accord two months later but I don't think this had anything to do with the new bras.

Hey Mrs!!
How are the feet???

[MrsSpoon]

My family are complaining about the smell! Of the tea tree that is. They keep saying, "ugg what's that smell". I think I might have been too heavy handed with it as I have run out, will try and get some more tomorrow, hope a couple of days without won't be too much of a set back.

No,but keep with the programme lady! It needs perstistence!

[MrsSpoon]

I'll be looking for a bulk supplier at this rate!

But you just need a dab for each nail. I think I put three drops on my thumb nail twice a day.

I have been putting it on all nails, just in case. The bottle that I have just finished was partially used on DS's nappies, so not a full one.
