Bra question??

Question

So I'm almost on my fourth week of breastfeeding!!!! Yay me!!! Anyway...do you sleep in a bra since you're breastfeeding?  I am tired of sleeping in one but idk my body is getting better about leaking so maybe no bra at night soon???? Thanks for any input!

Answer

Supposedly, your supply levels out around 2 months. I've read that many women who leak, don't leak or leak less often after that point. The only time I leak is if I'm super full. At night, I'm usually wearing a nursing tank or nightgown. When I was leaking, I just stuck pads in the tank. The nursing clothes have like a shelf "bra" (hah!) that you can stick them in easily.

Answer

I leak a ton but I don't sleep in my bra. They need to dry off :). I just put a towel under my chest. Or I wear a tank top and tuck nursing pads in there.

Answer

I don't wear one. Let the girls breath! I'm 8 weeks PP. I don't leak unless I'm over due for pumping.

Answer

I bf at night so I go without now. Finally at 6 weeks pp I don't leak.  I'll pump and feed before bed and feed from the opposite voob when he wakes up early in the morning.  So just a tank top with spaghetti straps I pull down.  Easy peasy.

Answer

I had to sleep in a sleep nursing bra the whole year I nursed or pumped with my last two and I'll probably end up doing same after this one is born too I always seem to leak

Answer

I wear a sleep bra to bed. I leak a little but still like to wear them just in case. I don't like getting milk all over 😂😂

Answer

Thanks for all the input. I've been leaking less but also I've been pumping to empty the other one during the day...i love the idea of just putting the pads into a tank top!  I need a bra all the time but I would never wear one at home before i was breast feeding!

Answer

I wear a stretchy bra to bed. I'm still leaking but it's mainly because my boobs hurt without the support.

Answer

I sleep in a bra and I still leak at 8mo pp. My daughter nurses more at night than during the day though.
