Breastfeeding underwear help!

I am a breastfeeding mum and really struggling with clothing! I’ve got a wedding in 2 weeks and got a stunning thin low v cut neckline with a low cut back with thin straps however I completely forgot about the fact the girls look like flat pancakes so no bra isn’t an option and taping them just folds them in half they don’t lift the same plus I need access during the wedding to feed.

I’ve tried full body shape wear but they all have straps on show either on the top or sides or plastic straps which digs in. I’m feeling so disheartened as I really wanted to look nice after feeling rubbish about myself since post birth and I cannot think of anything to fix this. I use to use a sticky bra but feeding i doubt this would work as I’m assuming it wouldn’t attach on well again after a feed with the mositsure even if I wipe it off after.

I’m feeling so deflated and dreading the day now and don’t really have the money to waste (or the time) to find another dress that makes me feel good while having more support and really don’t know what to do.

Anyone happen to have any advice to support the girls without ridiculously thick bras or obvious shapewear?

Thank you so much for any helpful advice and please be kind ❤️

I’m now a UK 10 and last I got checked was a 34E if this helped.

You could use fabric glue to glue bra cups/ inserts into the inside of the bra? Or get them sewn in?

I think Megan’s idea is really good! I’d definitely be giving that a try. Otherwise, from your front photo, I honestly think you look great and don’t necessarily need a bra. Though I can understand your feeling as a fellow breastfeeding mum.

I've used Lily Padz stick on nipple covers and they worked well. I always leak too so I feel they were definitely tested

CPS?

Something’s wrong with me. My LG was wailing & crying & screaming & all I did was watch. Didn’t feel like picking her up to comfort her & still don’t.. should I just turn myself in?

Coconut oil for baby’s curls

Ladies, what brand of coconut oil are you using for your curly baby’s hair? And how often ate you using it?

Brest feeding 6 months plus

Hi. Silly question but how does people navigate Brest feeding when baby gets their teeth? I never made it this far while b feeding my other two so I’m not sure what the next stages will look like.

Long night wakings and exhaustion

My 4 week old wakes once/ twice in the night. Problem is that the wake period is really long. It’s not that he’s awake for the whole time, but he struggles to get comfy again in his next to me. It often means I’m awake from about 2-4am and then he wakes again around 6 and we don’t get back to sleep after that one. We don’t get to sleep until around 10:30/11 as that is when he has his evening feed. My toddler is also waking in the night too sometimes. I’m so so tired that I can’t think straight and I’m also doing nursery runs/ looking after a toddler at the same time as a newborn and just feeling really overwhelmed. My husband helps out but he’s back at work and is knackered too. Is anyone else having similar issues?

Nap times

My baby girl is currently 14 weeks old and we have been struggling with naps for a while now. We manage to get her down a few times a day however she does not sleep longer than 30 min.. I know this is the length of a sleep cycle so it is normal but she l never seems to be fully rested especially in the afternoon. She often wakes up looking tired but refuses to go back to sleep, or if I hold her and rock her to sleep there is no way of putting her down again. The evenings are a battle because of it as she gets over tired. Any tips or advise on how to lengthen her naps?

Is this true?

You can't enact your second amendment rights in an airport.
That's why they've sent ICE there.
