BF and underwired bras

Happy New Year to all!
Hope your New Year went better than mine. Me and DS have been sick for a few days :( Getting better now though.
I have a quick question regarding bras and bf. I'm down to only morning and night bf now and am wondering can I wear my old underwired, plunge, padded, lace, satin, pretty, colourful with matching underwear (I'm getting excited Grin) bras again?
My nursing bras are too big now so I got mesured and way hey, I'm my old size again. I have a drawer full of bras that I was so worried I'd never get to wear again.
I don't need to wear a bra when feeding anymore as it's only morning and night and I'm normally in the house with only DS and DH about.
Please say it's ok to wear my old bras again. DS is 5 months old and I wore the same 3 non wired bras since I was 4 months pregnant and have been wearing the same 3 nursing bras for the last 5 months. I need to wear matching underwear again!!
But only if it won't hurt my milk supply. Still want to keep bf DS :)

As long as your underwires are fitted properly (make sure there's no wire digging in to breast tissue) then you should be fine. I'm feeding DD (16 months) only at home now and have been wearing underwires for a few months. Just keep an eye on things and if you notice any swelling/redness/tenderness then consider getting re-fitted.
