I'm not BF but I'll join you in all of the above

PrettyCandles · 01/10/2008 13:54

Buy lots and lots of gorgeous, beautiful, attractive, supportive bras. And then I'll just have to have matching knickers, too.

totallypeedoff · 01/10/2008 13:55

throw a party to celebrate and book surgery for my now deformed boobs.

beansprout · 01/10/2008 13:55

miss it .

MoreTeaAnyone · 01/10/2008 13:56

aw beansprout. that;s a nice twist you put on the thread there. I missed it lots when I stopped.

beansprout · 01/10/2008 13:57

But I will buy some nice underwear too!!!

ShowOfHands · 01/10/2008 13:57

... absolutely miss it enormously.

But I will be burning my greying nursing bras in the front garden and whooping maniacally.

wotsits · 01/10/2008 13:57

snap beansprout! DS has now stopped BF and I'm feeling a bit

wotsits · 01/10/2008 13:59

ooh yes! new, pretty, underwired bras

LadyOfWaffle · 01/10/2008 13:59
  • have a bath longer than 2 mins
  • have a long shower with door closed
  • decent bras
  • casually walk around the shops... alone
  • use body oils/shower gels/lotions etc. rather than plain plain shower gel
  • wear thinner tops as I don't have to worry about wet patches/big round circles where breast pads are
  • have a decent drink
  • get DH to look after the two just one evening
LadyOfWaffle · 01/10/2008 14:01
  • drink a cup of tea while hot
  • eat dinner at the table (not one handed from arm of sofa)
  • type 2 handed
(one handed right now as it happens!)

i'm bf and i do / have done all of that.

Bucharest · 01/10/2008 14:02

be sad...

HaventSleptForAYear · 01/10/2008 14:02

BTW, have just worked out that a front closing "normal" bra works fine for bf an older baby (DS = 21mths).

I have a Calvin Klein one on right now and although it's not pretty pretty, it's v. good under a white top and a change from my horrid old nursing ones.

this one in nude

LadyOfWaffle · 01/10/2008 14:02
  • probably get up the duff again!
JustKeepSwimming · 01/10/2008 14:03

Oh gawd, yes the underwear, i can see the credit card bills now
and matching, DEFINITELY!!!

hey beansprout oh yes i will miss it too, but it will be 42months (9+12 x 2) since my body was purely mine and i am on a bit of a countdown!!

Will hopefully just have a year off, then start all over again

...will walk past the breast pad part of the supermarket and NOT STOP!!!!

Be very old.

HaventSleptForAYear · 01/10/2008 14:04

Ladyofwaffle I'm afraid that most of those will not change whether you are bf or not!

But I have done most of the above (otherwise no way would still be bf DS2 still!)

Am even off for a week next week without him but a little unsure about whether we will continue bf or not when I return.

JustKeepSwimming · 01/10/2008 14:04

front closing bras sound good - underwired tho??

...not need to wear something to hold pads in place all night, woohoo!

OP posts:
Snaf · 01/10/2008 14:05

Any reason why you're not eating whatever you like and getting drunk now? You can do both those things and bf

HaventSleptForAYear · 01/10/2008 14:06

What is the problem with underwired, after say, 6 mths when you are pretty much back to normal size?

I can see they'd be uncomfy before that, and have heard about blocking milk ducts etc. but surely after a while it's not an issue???

I wear my normal bras in the day to work.

sleep with no bra on, woohoo
wear tight tops
let DH touch my boobs (maybe..)

oh yes and miss it terribly

JustKeepSwimming · 01/10/2008 14:09

i've wondered about underwired before but always felt it was 'verboten' so stuck with my bf bras (some of which i like...)

OP posts:
JustKeepSwimming · 01/10/2008 14:09

...get back into all my 'small' tops (if i lose the weight too obv!)
