Proper boob control for exercise

[MummyLostInParenthood]

Hi all! I have a two month old dd, and am very keen to start tackling my post-partum bulge. I am definitely of the no-dieting-just-do-some-exercise school of thought, and am about to start weekly "buggy bootcamp" classes.

I did a quick jog around my living room to test some new trainers, and after almost knocking myself out, soon realised that I will need some form of sports bra / boob control if I am to do anything beyond a casual stroll.

Thing is I am still breastfeeding, and it seems that the lesser-spotted nursing sports bra is a practically non existent product.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

will you be nursing in it or exercising in it?

Both - that's the point! I'm feeding on demand, so I'll want to be able to pause on the exercise and feed her as and when.

Shock absorber do one which has hooks which can be undone...not quite perfect for nursing but slightly better than others.

I think you need to decide if you're feeding or exercising...I went back to running after the 8 week check (or is it 6 weeks?....ponders lack of memory) I ended up wearing 2 sports bras - one shock absorbers one and one lighter sports one and it worked well. I couldn't have used a feeding one for any type of decent exercise.

...just read this back and I'm not suggesting giving up feeding, just not doing both at the same time!

In case anyone is interested - I found one of these in TK Maxx and it's a great solution - very firm hold, but also lift-upable for emergency feeding!

I found one that zipped up at the front - a normal sports bra but easier to undo for feeding access.

But you would only exercise for an hour or so then change so why not just wear a regular sports bra then change into a nursing one ? Have just changed from using shock absorber to Panache Sport which I think is v good. You could always stick some breast pads in the front if you are worried about leakage

Buggy bootcamp is usually low impact I think so less support may not be a problem
