I am slowly getting used to a new wardrobe that allows for nursing, and you gave some great suggestions. (I am a new mom to a baby girl named Gwyneth, we call her Winnie, born about 2 weeks after your sweet Frances) Very glad nursing is working out for you this time. Thanks again for being so thoughtful with your posts and suggestions! Blessings to you!JadeElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06695470935961294576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278276723610191994.post-17739526482319594142014-01-18T06:37:40.868-08:002014-01-18T06:37:40.868-08:00Glad to hear you are so encouraging about women do...Glad to hear you are so encouraging about women doing what is best for them and their babies. Nursing can be so difficult and if you are nursing there is the whole issue of nursing in public. I am a very modest person and would choose to go sit in the car and nurse. It was much more comfortable to me and I could focus on my baby. I caught some flack about it though. Fortunately, my husband was very supportive on whatever made me happy. <br />Great clothing suggestions.

I'm still nursing at 6.5 months (never ever thought I would get this far) but we're down to two feedings a day and the rest are formula. I'm so ready at this point to have my body back to myself!

I would have given up day 1 but I was really stubborn. But seriously for all the talk of how "natural" it is, it's not something that comes naturally to you or baby. Oh and each kid is different. I am already nervous about #3 -- first labor then latching! Eek. <br /><br />Anyway just wanted to say I really love Anita nursing bras. I got fitted for one at Intimacy and found it to be the most comfortable and flattering, especially when your boobs are gigantic. Once I had my size I ordered them on amazon! Haha. Expensive but so worth it to feel more like yourself and even moderately sexy. They are especially great in the summer bc they aren't bulky. <br /><br />-Shelbyblantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16210191760253582311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278276723610191994.post-81776834265659339822014-01-17T06:49:20.224-08:002014-01-17T06:49:20.224-08:00I had the same experience with my first son: it ki...I had the same experience with my first son: it killed, we supplemented him and I was done at 3 months. This time around it is a lot easier but this little guy won't take a bottle! He only wants ME!! Two of my best friends had the same problem with their second babies, one swears it's second child syndrome already sinking in! I am over my huge boobs too but I guess I can make through the winter/flu season:) Those bras look super comfy!

Just wanted to share that I got the Yummie Tummie nursing tank and while I liked the slimming effect of it, the holes for nursing are really obvious, so you definitely can't wear it under certain shirts. Just wanted to pass that on. I hardly ever wore mine for the reason, unfortunately.

Thanks for all the rec's on tanks, bras and the Hooter Hider. I need to stock up now for May, so that 25% off looks good to me. I have never made it more than 6-8 weeks BFing and I really want to make it longer this time. I am an on-the-go person, so feeling tied down is the hardest. Plus when your boobs are full and painful, it's harder to get a good workout! But I'm going to do my best to power through. I just definitely need stuff like this so I don't have to be tied to the house! :-) <br />www.styleoyster.blogspot.com<br />www.thegymbunny.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07078656679964740552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278276723610191994.post-41872079846654662322014-01-17T06:05:27.938-08:002014-01-17T06:05:27.938-08:00I'll have to forward this post to my best frie...I'll have to forward this post to my best friend who is going through this struggle.

However, the second tIme I made it the whole first year. It was easier and I was so much less stressed out about it. I think that helped. You are so right about the tanks! That is all I wore. I loved how if I had to pull my shirt up, my belly was still covered.Beth Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15917976079015699437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278276723610191994.post-20391428325178206812014-01-17T05:57:43.877-08:002014-01-17T05:57:43.877-08:00I am so glad it's working out this time around...I am so glad it's working out this time around! I had trouble with my supply with my first and heard that with each baby there is more milk. I think you'll find once you hit three/four months nursing is a breeze - it's definitely those first three that make it sooo hard. If only you could formula feed the first few months and then nurse. I love the bravado bras too and I need to try their tanks. I've been waiting on this post bc I always wonder how fashionable people nurse (I need something to aim for otherwise I'm in tees and shorts daily). I did see an Alice and Olivia wrapped cardigan at Nordstrom that I'm dying to try as a cover up (hooter hiders are kind Of awkward for me to use). Thanks for sharing this!!

I'm so glad it's working for you! Ok so this sounds nuts, but my girlfriends and I discovered the Old Navy Rockstar Mid Rise super skinny jeans, and we're in love with them! They sit higher on the waist and suck in the inner thigh.

I own the keg goings and ones that button but since they're a bit higher up they cover the pooch. Wonderful!Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00565344446302684570noreply@blogger.com
