hiya,

hmmm I never knew under wire did that...I'd think as long as it's fitted properly against the ribcage and not the breast you'd be fine...
Especially since you've been doing it for 14 months, your milk is most likely flowing like the thames. mayeb just give the health nurse a quick call if you dont gte many replys.
good luck!

thanx livysmum,
i cant remember where i heard it from. it was either on here or the hv. but i did think that i'd been breastfeeding for long enough for my supply not too be affected.

so long as they fit properly and don't dig in anywhere you should be fine
Anita do underwired nursing bras - check out Figleaves.

Hi, I went back to underwired bras at least 8 months ago cos wanted to get a bit of uplift back! Haven't had any probs at all with milk supply, so I'm sure that as long as it fits ok you'll be fine

thanx for that mrs badger, i didn't know you could actually buy underwired nursing bras.
am off to check them out now

splishsplosh, those are my reasons exactly. am fed up of having shapeless droppy boobs
