Wish I'd done this before she was born

Ladies who plan to breastfeed, might I suggest the following...

Go through all your shirts and blouses that still fit you at the beginning of your second trimester and sort out the ones you think you'll be able to breastfeed in (machine washable and easy to pull up, down, or aside for breast access). Because you're not going to want to hunt them down in your closet among all the clothes you haven't looked at or put on in 6 months when you are even tireder than you are now and are trying to get dressed before your baby starts crying for you again...

Not that I'd know anything about this...

I still fail at getting dressed. I'll put something on and the first time I go to nurse realize it is totally not going to work.

Adds to my to do list...

I figured I would just live in hoodies and sweatpants at first, no? ha
are my boobs going to get a lot bigger when my milk comes in?

I bought a bunch of the stretchy tamis and fly away cardigans from Old Navy. Because I'm always looking for an excuse to buy something

YES, especially the first couple of days it's in. Then they get smaller but still large. I bought nursing bras one band and cup size up and they're a little tight still.

Hoodies are awesome to throw on when you don't want to wear a bra but have someone dropping off food or something. I also like all my snug fitting knit tank tops and tees because I can wear them around the house without a bra but they hold shells or nursing pads in place.

Oh yes, when I'm at home, I pretty much live in leggings and camis, with a zip up hoodie over the top for easy access.

But sillygoosegirl has good advice when you want to wear semi normal clothes or go out into the world and not wear something that screams "new mom"

[jorja]

See, for me, hoodies are no good, because I feel like they're hard to pull up enough to nurse.

Zip up hoodies, fly away cardigans and boyfriend sweaters over tank tops have been my go to.

I agree with this PSA. And yes, your boobs get freaking huge.

Im nervous to go back to work and have to get dressed. I live in tanks and rarely have a bra on.

[loreleigilmore]

buy the bravado silk bras on Amazon. By far and away the best bra for nursing. I'm currently replacing mine for baby #3

Lurking tonight. But I have to Ditto tamis. I have worn one every day for the last 11 weeks. Seriously. They are the best. Tami under and then whatever shirt I want on top. Shirt uo, Tami down. If I'm home i just wear the tami. Comfortable, washes well and cheap.
