Do you still wear nursing bras? Ds is 11months and even tho I want to stop bf we are still going and bf every few hours.

I have not brought any new nursing bras as I think it is a waste of money and I like kidding myself into thinking I will stop bf soon

I find if I wear underwired bras which I always wore before I was pregnant it is difficult to bf in. But I want to have a nice shape again. Also don't want to spend loads on bras untill I have stopped bf and will then treat myself to some nice underware.

I'm an H cup, and have been back in normal bras since DS was about 1 (he's 3 now). I wear a plunge style that means I can just hoik my breasts out over the top. Don't know how well it would have worked when he was smaller, or if my breasts weren't quite so malleable - but it hasn't caused any problems.

I am wearing Katie Price under-wired t-shirt bras which I convert to nursing bras by taking the drop-cup catches off my saggy horrid nursing bras and stitch onto these. I'm sure Ms Price would be horrified to know I do this to her bras but I find it mildly amusing!!

I stopped wearing nursing bras when he stopped feeding regularly during the day.

For the odd emergency daytime feed I just hoik the cup down.

Cup size remained the same for a year-though early pregnancy looks set to bugger that up!

Reading this with interest. I am wearing scutty feeding bra's that are not even my size. How bad is that!

I am a 30 B and I can not find a bra to fit. I want a sexy feminin bra that I can wear with pretty little tops.

Just re-reading these posts. Don't know why don't just wear a nice pretty comfy bra because she self accesses the breast and covers it back up after her feeds, the fastener doesn't get used anyhow.
