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???

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.

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.

MrsSpoon · 09/10/2005 23:37

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.
