EBF 4Months. Bra? Milk slow down? Nursing pads?

Question

Been EBF for 4 months now and my boobs are finally normal again.
I’ve always wore sports bras before and with T-shirt bras im like a 36 DD.
My question is, is it okay to wear my sports bras now? My boobs finally fit normal again in them.
But someone once told me that you should let your boobs like loose in a bra or either air out idk like don’t wear tight bras (sports bra???)
If too tight will milk stop?
Will I eventually be able to stop wearing nursing pads?

Answer

Compression makes supply lower, yes, but emptying breast (as much as needed) also gets supply on the normal level or higher. So if your bra hes not done anything bad yet, I would not mind wearing it. But yes, women use a tight bra to wean bf.

Answer

I would not. Sports bras compress the breast and can cause clogged ducts. Your breasts need to breathe when you are breastfeeding. 
Also when weaning it is not advised at all by any IBCLC to wear anything tight around the breasts as that increases chances of clogged ducts and mastitis especially when expressing less or not at all.
