When can I wear a nice bra again!

[kaballie]

DD is nearly 10 months now. Have hung on in there with BF and am down to 3 times a day now. I go back to work in 6 weeks and will only be BF am and pm. Therefore no need for horrendous, greying, saggy nursing bra during day. Can I start wearing an underwired or will this bugger up BF? I want a nice bra and boobs off my belly for work!
Please tell me yes!

I gave up the awful bf bras at about 10 months, like you was only feeding morning and evening (and during the night). Go for it . You might want to be fitted again tho as your size may have changed.

I would be careful about having underwiring all day though especially if you have just cut down from 3 feeds... You can still get nice non wired ones, maybe only get a couple anyway as when you stop your boobs will prob shink more and then you can go really nice bra shopping, something which after 14 months of breat feeding I recently did, it was fun!

Can I hijack and ask how long after stopping completly can I go and get measured?
I stopped 3 weeks ago. I was down to one feed a day at that time - DD was a year. I 've been wearing my pregnacy non wired bras and really want to get re-measured

dd is still feeding at least 6 times a day and I've been wearing underwired feeding bras for months with no problems (hurrah for H&M)

peachy, get measured now but be prepared to change again

Thanks Mrs B I'm meeting a friend in London in another week or so and will drag her to John lewis

Oh well I am obviously an idiot.

didn't mean to stomp on you, pamplemousse

I'll let you off cos you are always helpful!! I'm just a bit touchy for some reason, sorry I really thought underwiring was not a good idea when still bfing as it could lead to a blocked duct if it wasn't a perfect fit...

I went back to underwired at 6 months when I went back to work (and fed until 21 months). I was careful to get what seemed like more gentle underwired bras rather than eanything dramatic.

I'm sure you'd be fine

Blimey I was schlepping around in hideous bras for far too long!!!

It is immensely liberating when you ditch the feeding bras

What about the hotmilk range. Very sexy and you can get them on figleaves.co.uk
