Extended bf and nursing bras

[CityDweller]

For those of you who continued bf, but only first thing and bedtime/night - did you go back to normal bras? If so, do you just pull bra up/down/off at bedtime feed? DD is 1yo and I desperately need new bras and I really don't want to shell out on new nursing bras when she only feeds twice a day...

Yup I went back to normal bras when I stopped the day time feeds (about 10 months). I was usually in my jammies anyway for her feeds (lazy mummy in the evenings!) so no real need. Occasionally I feed her out and I just pop a boob out. This happened to coincide with when I fitted back into my pre-preg bras which was handy!
It was so lovely wearing a pretty bra again

I've stuck with feeding bras, but only because I've found one sort (an Anita one) that fits really well.

I liked the anita bra too , but it got too big and I was very happy to see my old bras again!!

I went back into normal bras at 7 months as DD took to food really well and drastically cut her feeds.

If needed I could still get a breast out over the top of the cup.

Great - thanks. Back to normal bras it is - hurrah!

I went back to normal bras once supply was established - so at about 8w.

These puppies need a wire.

I stayed in nursing bras until I stopped feeding when ds was 2. I then waited a couple of months to make sure my boobs had finished changing shape. Then I went out and spent lots of money on lovely new bras and underwear sets. About 2 months after that I found out I was pg again and in literally a matter of days I had to go back to my maternity bras. Most of my lovely new ones remain unworn

I went back to normal bras (converted with clips myself) in a few weeks and just normal bras around 5-6 months when DS started dropping daytime feeds. Absolutely hated the droopy monoboob nursing bra look.

My nursing bras didn't give me droopy monoboob! And are quite pretty (Sophie bra from Bravissimo)! But they're old and losing their elastic. And I miss t-shirt bras - especially as 'summer' approaches.

Mine give a horrid shape even though they are Anita underwired.

When I went back into proper, supportive bras people asked me if I'd lost weight they made so much difference to my figure.
