No, I find it uncomfortable, but still sleep on a towel to catch any leaks. When I had ds1 I tried wearing a bra to bed but leaked right through the breastpads so found it easier to put a towel under me and infront of me, seems to hold more than the breastfed!
I wear a bonds maternity singlet but purely because if I don't I tend to drown Miss A with the non-feeding boob.
I wear a bf bra. Dh would probably roll on one of my boobs in his sleep otherwise.
I never wore a bra to bed until I midwife told me I should while I was bfing too. Now that I know so many others don't I think I might start going commando again!
only when I'm ouchie, when I need breastpads, or when I really CBF taking it off ... :p
Yep, same as that. Only to hold my breast pads in place.:
I only ever wear a maternity bra (even though I'm not BFing) but I'm usually too tired when I get home from work that I just fall asleep with my bra on.
I used to find it uncomfortable but now it's easier
I wore breast feeding crop tops which were super comfy. Sleeping in bras, even maternity bras, feels awful to me! I needed something to hold my breast pads in place though while breast feeding, until my supply settled. I bought the crop tops cheap in a two pack from Target.
I did for first few weeks till supply settled then nope.
Definitely while breastfeeding and only in a soft breastfeeding bra, couldn't wear an underwire to bed. At this point with DS2 being over 12 months I've stopped wearing a bra to bed. Although I will still feed overnight I no longer have to wear breast pads which is the main reason I wear a bra to bed.
Nope, I don't wear anything to bed. If my boobs weren't so big I'd probably wear a crop top or a singlet with inbuilt support to hold the breast pads in place. I haven't managed to find a crop top that fits at all and the singlets I have barely hold my boobs and when I lay down I fall out quite easily so if I leak I end up wet anyway. I find it more comfortable to just go topless.
i use to not wear anything to bed. i miss it! now i have to wear a croptop with washers shoved down my front because i still leak so much. every now and again i try without the washers but wake up in a puddle.
plus i have to have something between my boobs and Spock otherwise they are her playground all night (not just feeding but playing abd pinching and smooching etc..)
While I was breastfeeding I would always wear one, just felt like my boobs where sagging otherwise lol, even now after finishing up breastfeeding I use those sports bras with no wires
Nope, never. I only leaked in the first month of BF and then just slept on a towel or changed the sheets often
I slept in a bra for about a month, then changed to a cami top with built in support. I put breast pads into the cami, but I'm pretty big, and my boobs flop around enough in the cami that the breastpads are usually not covering my nipples by the time I start leaking. The cami just gives me a tiny bit of support so that when I roll over, my boobs don't hurt so much when they fall onto the other side. And I hate the idea of getting BM on the feather doona, which would be a really big deal to wash.
Yep I do since breastfeeding as it feels uncomfy without it. Didn't before my breastfeeding days though.
I didnt/dont even when breastfeeding. I also slept on a towel so they could "breath" a little.
I always slept in a bra before kids, so definitely continued to sleep in a maternity bra after having babies. I like feeling supported when my milk came in, and couldn't even stand the feeling of feeding without a bra on. I never felt comfortable without a bra until after weaning my son, but now I have done a complete 180 and now can't stand sleeping in a bra!
