    Hi

    I still squeezed a bit of milk about months after I finished BF! So I wouldn't worry about it at all - unless you do get lumpy and sore etc

    Re : weight - you burn calories BF, so I wouldn't think that stopping BF you would lose weight - just evens out IMO

    I would recommend getting fitted as our boobies change with each child - but would suggest you leave it a couple of more weeks so stable shape

    Hey V (long time no see, hey!)

    I'm still BF, but recently went to get fitted again as I'm only doing 2 feeds and am dramatically smaller than before. The assistant told me to wait 6 weeks after finishing feeding before getting fitted for a bra - she was very persistant on it and pretty much refused to sell me a new bra (ridiculous - I was asking to spend money and she sent me away!!!). I'm still in the old bras (which I'm well and truly sick of!!). Have not much idea about the rest of your questions, just thought I'd share this little bit!

    Hey Star!! Hows everything going? You should pop in to our buddies group and say hello!
    YES!! You would think that they wouldnt care and would sell you a bra regardless of what the situation is!! I bought a new bra about a month ago, but it was just from target so not fitted or anything and I was still feeding then. Hmm 4 more weeks until I can get fitted - plenty of time to save up for some nice bras!

    SamiH - you still squeezed milk out months after finishing! You would think it would be gone by then. Yes thats is true that you burn more calories while BFing, so really stopping BFing could have the opposite effect if you keep eating like you were while BFing...
