I use a chemical free-stick by Tom of Maine? or spray Weleda rose deoderant after I've put me bra on so it doesn't go on me boobs. Agree that the more natural the better so chemicals don't go into milk. Gave up on aluminium dds years ago

I use Neal's Yard lemon & coriander. Smells like a salad dressing but I love it! Lasts for ages

Gosh, I can't believe all these people don't use any at all! I didn't put purfume on when the children were tiny but I do now , if I feel like it.

Have never even thought about it - I just use my usual - Sanex and i still wear perfume - never occured to me that dd may taste it as I dont spray either near my nipples.
