What to sleep in?

I leak like crazy when I sleep, and I tried using my maternity sleeping bra but it's too small now, I resorted to a nursing bra with pads and that was a mistake (painful!). Any suggestions?

Re: What to sleep in?

  • I sleep in tanks wth shelf bras and use cotton breast pads.

  • I do the same as pp. Makes for easy access when LO wants to eat, too.

  • Same as PP. I slept in maternity tanks with breast pads. I think I leaked through a lot in the beginning last time abs often put a towel down. It wont be so bad in a few weeks.
  • I either sleep in a tank with pads or I bought a couple really thin bras from Walmart that are about two sizes too big so they're comfortable but still got enough to hold pads in place! They look like sports bras but are really thin and soft. I now currently have mastitis so everything is painful I would definitely say don't sleep in anything even remotely constricting!
  • I losened my straps on my bra all the way and used the last hooks I could. There was no support and I probably looked like an 80yr old with saggy boobs but they hurt man.
    Used that and pads, but, if I don't wear a bra i leak like a faucet
  • I sleep in a Medela nighttime bra with pads in it. Works great, rarely leak through .
  • Tank top with a shelf bra usually stuffed with a burp cloth or two
