Nursing bras

I was hoping someone could help. I’m hoping to breastfeed but I’m not sure what is the best nursing bra to get as I’ve got quite large breasts naturally. Would it be best I go into a shop like m&s and speak to bra fitters? Or would I just be able to go into Primark and get ones in a size l/xl ?

I really liked the ones I got from m&s!! Also large chested and i found them quite comfy and supportive

Measure with the boob or bust calculator, or go to bravissimo if you want a fitting, M&S uses an outdated measuring method which adds 4 inches to the band size leaving you with very little support. If you haven’t given birth yet I’d just buy the L/XL crop top types for now because my boobs got even bigger postpartum and I’d hate to have bought bras that didn’t fit. For once your milk settles, I really loved hotmilk bras (they’re expensive but wish I’d bought one way sooner, rather than buy loads of cheap ones that fitted badly) x

I just got nursing tank tops for my jugs because the bras cost way too much and the ones i got fit weird.

I just wore normal soft cup non wired bras as nursing ones are expensive and frankly unnecessary. Just as easy to pop a boob out in a normal bra. I’m a 36GG and just wore these

M&S do a Lacy nursing bra that’s £10 in various colours. My local shop did have some in stock which I was surprised at as it’s a small store. I didn’t get measured there though. On the tag there is info on how is best to fit a nursing bra. Didn’t think they were bad for £10 & M&S!

Baby seats for trolleys, high chairs etc.

Has anyone got one of these from a brand they recommend? Not sure if Coco seat is a UK brand or what it's like as a company?

Thanks in advance!

Nappy leaks at night—what brands or tips work?

My 12 week old uses Aldi Mamia size 3 nappies during the day with no problems, but at night both Mamia and Pampers Premium Protection size 3 have leaked after a few hours. Has anyone got tips for nighttime leaks or recommendations for other brands or strategies?

Sleeping through

Hi all so my nearly 3 week old is wanting to sleep through the night she has had no issues with her weight and is gaining really well. Can I let her sleep through or do I keep waking her? TIA x

Sleep regression or upping daytime intake?

My baby is 15 weeks on Saturday. He used to sleep 9ish-6am with only 1 wake for a feed. He’s now ready for bed at 7/7:30 and sleeping until 7am but waking for 3 feeds! He had dropped to 6 5oz bottle but has now added in an extra one at 11pm. I’ve tried him with some 6oz bottles in the day but he struggled with them. What’s going on? Do I need to ride it out or try and up his daytime intake?

Formula advice

I was just curious if anyone has switched formulas. My 12 week old baby has been on aptamil 1 since birth but due to crap mat pay and the prices of formula nowadays I was wondering if anyone can advise if they switched and (or) if they've used aptamil and changed; which brand did they switch to. Thanks mummas
