Large breasts feeding in public

I am a 34H and am currently 5 days post partum. Baby is feeding pretty well, if all conditions are perfect for him 😂 I’m already thinking ahead of feeding in public. We are doing rugby ball holds for all feeds, which is fine but it leaves my whole breast completely exposed, and being so big I’m really conscious. Just looking for some tips for public feeding for some privacy in these early days building confidence. Thank you x

I ordered one of these and use it whilst I’m getting her to latch, then once she’s on I usually take it off https://amzn.eu/d/6sb4qll

Also a 34H and EBF. I honestly now just get my entire boob out with no fuck given.

I was never comfortable with covering up my baby whilst they’re feeding.
I would just find somewhere discreet until I built confidence. I’d usually try to find a corner or be against a wall. And would push myself by going places and feeding - starting small such as local cute cafe that wasnt too busy or somewhere I’d been to 100 times before and was totally comfortable being there (for me it was my local pub. Went for dinner and fed her whilst there with my partner).

The more you do it. The quicker you gain confidence.

In the 7 and a half months I’ve been EBF, I’ve not once had a funny look or comment. A few looks where people haven’t realised I’m feeding and the look away awkwardly but I just find them quite funny now

Same large breasted mama here no cares given I know it takes time this is my second baby and at first I try to cover but the baby would pull it down hated it became so stressful I literally gave up and it became so much more relaxing for me whatever you decide just remember your doing something amazing and nobody else’s opinion matters just you and your baby ❤️

i have a couple of these and made it so much easier for me in public too. X

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Breastfeeding

Does it ever feel better? The actual feeding part of it is going really well and baby boy is growing so well. I’m struggling with how my boobs feel day to day - it’s really getting me down most days. The let downs make me feel awful and sounds silly but, I am also really missing not wearing a bra! 9 weeks postpartum and still getting fairly engorged, even with comfort pumping.

Any advice or just shared stories would help. I’m so torn between carrying on because I enjoy the feeding side of it or switching to formula.

Big nursing bras!

I’m looking for recommendations for good nursing bras for bigger breasted ladies!

I’m currently in a 38H which seems to be the biggest size done at M&S (UK based mama here) and it’s snug and not as supportive as I’d like. When I look online, they mainly seem to be sized S, M, L, XL etc rather than bra sizes.

Any recommendations please?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Strange question

Hello. I would identify myself as asexual but yes i am married and i have a child. But now that ive had my baby. I think its solidified that im done having sex. I feel bad as my partner keeps asking me but i just dont want to. Any advice on what i can do? Any other asexual moms out there? I guess this could be confusing but im not huge on being bound by a label. I have just always felt it represented me best since highschool.
