Well i have just discovered that breast milk when leaking onto your t-shirt all night, smells really bad :barf:
Sorry TMI just had to share, i wish someone had warned me :laughing:
Thanks for reading :o

:laughing: I change my shirt when I leak on it lol
hate the sticky wet feeling:barf:

[luckymama]

yeah i will be every time now, but i was lazy last night :laughing:
actually am thinking i best wear a bra to bed with breast pads to stop the leaks :yes:
Is breastfeeding going well Catherine? Have you got milk yet? Mine came in day 3, its so exciting to see i can squirt milk quite far, DH and I were almost wetting ourselves the other night while i was squeezing some out lol, i guess you had to be there though, it was pretty funny :laughing: :o
We are mostly doing ok, but occasionally Lucas will fight a little, so its harder to get him attached, but that is happening less and less now, so its all good :thumbsup:

I slept in a bra until my milk settled down and stopped leaking as much.. I hated waking up with half my tshirt sopping and sticking to me.

Yeh breastfeeding is going really well
he latches on really good each time
apart from when hes cranky and he moves his head around and takes awhile to latch on:laughing:

My milk came in on day 3 too..

i used to fold a terry flat nappy i half and stuff that up my shirt. i found it was also good to hold one over the boob that wasn't being fed from to help catch the letdown flow

[InSaneOne]

oh and i had a doubled up towel under my booby area on the bed too. so instead of changing the sheets every night i could just throw the towel into the wash every morning. the towel was also handy to catch any of the too-full tummy chuck that beth used to do sometimes.

Ah yes this is still happening for me, drives me mad! I still sleep with a bra most nights!

[Myztik]

oh also those singlet tops you can get with the inbuilt 'shelf' thingy were good for when sleeping in a bra got uncomfortable.
