to ask for your ideas on what to use when you have run out of breastpads?!

[meladeso]

Just that. Not doing morning feed today while the alcohol wears off, just went to shower - nips spraying milk everywhere!
Have tried to express a bit off, which am rubbish at, but mainly am not sure how to avoid having leaky top all morning, have run out of pads.
Ideas?!

Stuff a muslin or flannel in your bra! Although I'd feed anyway, the morning after.

Folded up muslin if you want to wash it or folded up kitchen roll for easy disposal.

Are you going anywhere? I'd pop some clean nappies in your bra. Or stick in sanitary towels. Or just flannels and change them often.

I'd say sanitary towels.

Do you have any small cloth hankies lurking in a drawer somewhere? These will work if folded.

There's really no need to hold off feeding, the alcohol concentration will be next to nothing.

Cut nappies in half!

Nappy cut in half!

Ha brilliant thanks hadn't thought of nappies! Have just cut up a pantyliner (oh the glamour) and will go for a bit of nappy when that gets soggy!
God the things we do...
We've got houseguests, so would prefer something discreet ish.
I am quite relaxed about morning after feeding, but when I woke today I still felt a bit tipsy, so couldn't bring myself to do it!

Some supermarkets are open if you want to venture out at 10

Honestly it's fine to feed, even when more than a bit tipsy!!

I would echo both points on this thread. Use folded muslins in bra as emergency breast pads but seriously... just feed your baby! Even if you were falling down drunk and still necking vodka the % alcohol in your milk is still tiny (as in less than in natural OJ). The only danger of feeding with alcohol in your system is if you weren't capable of keeping baby safe. And don't co-sleep.

Don't cut the nappy all the absorbent plastic stuff will fall out and stick to you! Just use two.

I was just coming on to say don't do what I did and cut up a nappy. The stuff inside gets saturated with milk, goes all grainy and gets everywhere (or at least it did for me). Sanitary towels are much more effective. Or a folded sock....
I ran out of pads on a number of occasions

Eugh god that sounds horrid with all the bits coming out

Thanks to all those reassuring me about feeding being safe after a skinful

I cut up nappies.

Muslins, or flannel. I switched to bamboo washable pads after too many similar incidents, at least they could have a quick wash and blast with a hairdryer
