This exact Freya is my absolute favorite nursing bra. I don’t want t wear any others since I tried it on and have since bought another one. It’s super comfortable and supportive, but I think it helps that I was properly fitted at Nordstrom (32F, yikes) and all my other bras are 34DD, 36D, etc. I guess I didn’t know how bras are supposed to fit and feel, with most of the support from the band. It felt tight at first, but once I got used to it, it’s so much better an more flattering.
I know that this is a small (hehe) complaint but I have not found many nursing bra options for my a/b cups. I have two small bravados but that seemed to be it as far as clip-down bras, and I didn’t find any underwire. I also have a few coobies – but I just want to wear a normal-ish bra while I have cleavage (for the first time in my life…)and still be able to pump/nurse. oh well. Only a few more months.
I have this bra and wear it routinely, even though I stopped nursing over 5 months ago. I think it’s relatively pretty for a nursing bra and comfy too.
Hi moms! I’ve been exclusively breast feeding my 5 month old thus far, but I want to get some formula for backup for when I go back to work next month. What formula do you moms out there use and what made you pick it? Thanks!
My 5 month old has been sleeping terribly for the past 6 weeks. He wakes up every 30-45 min for the first two hours after bedtime and cries uncontrollably. He’ll refuse the bottle and breast but once he has calmed down he will quickly drink 2-3 oz ans go back to sleep. This repeats about 3 times until he is finally asleep for 4-5 hours. Then he will wake up crying and want milk and go back to sleep. What’s with the uncontrollable crying within the few hours right after bedtime? We have tried offering him bottle and breast repeatedly throughout the day but he is not interested. He cries when I try to nurse him but will take a bottle and drink 1-2 oz here and there. What gives? How do I get him back to the breast? And how can I get him to drink more throughout the day so he doesnt scream at night? (And is he even hungry or is there something else that could be going on?). Its been 6 weeks and hasnt resolved on its own. My husband and I are so tired all the time now.
Help! I need someone to talk me through sleep training. My baby is a year old and wakes up 2-4 times a night and its killing me. She used to sleep through the night until 4 months, so I know its possible. Part of the issue is that she still nurses at night. I have tried giving her a bottle instead of nursing and have tried to have my husband give her a bottle but she cries bloody murder. We have been trying the Weissbluth approach, but I might be too bleary-eyed to know what I am doing anymore. I feeling like I am failing and just need someone to tell me what to do. Adult supervision!
I am 34 weeks and so tempted to go get nursing bras, but know I should wait to make sure I know what size I am going to be. My normal bras are getting tight though. What to do, what to do.
I’m still pregnant (39 weeks!) but have had nursing bras since ~33 weeks and I ****love**** my Coobie bra. even more than the Bravado. The sizing is very general – in fact the bras only come in two sizes – so it’s been good as things continue to change. I ended up ordering more and sizing up because I was borderline on size, and right now it’s the only bra I wear.
