Re: Big Dumb Q's Thread 2/17/17
My boobs are outgrowing my winter coats/vests. Not my bump. My boobs. Basically they are getting squished in too far, and the nipples rub really hard/are squished against the outside, and it is not comfortable. I don't have too much time left in my climate for cold weather. Within a month I should be able to just wear hoodies and get by. My question is, should I wait it out, or should I get some kind of vest type thing to add extra padding? Are they going to keep growing in the next month and actually make it impossible to wear my coats/vests? And the dumbest question, am I going to do more than just making myself uncomfortable/slightly in pain if I keep squishing in (AKA affect later milk supply, block a duct, somehow damage my ability to breastfeed)?

@kerils don't buy a coat. It's not even that cold anymore and it's going to get better (your in PA right?)
i have two super warm mohair sweaters I got from hm they are the warmest. I wear those and keep my coat open on days I have to go out when it's cold.

I rem @CarsonsMommy mentioning it was okay so il just believe what suits me lol
@BusyZee I know it was answered, but yes, it's a bad idea to try pumping this early. Wait till baby comes, your colostrum will be just right for your newborn when they arrive. Too much nipple stimulation can cause early labor, and quite honestly, pumping sucks. Don't start the torture earlier than necessary.
I just read some women pump a bit before their due date to "save" the colostrum for when the baby comes. I had no idea about that either and would that be safe?

Is it safe to pump colostrum before baby arrives? No, just because it could cause contractions and even early labor, and no one wants to have a premature birth just because they wanted to "stock up" colostrum for baby's arrival. Bad idea. Having baby nurse from the body to pull out those first drops of colostrum will tell your body that it needs to start making milk, so let the baby do the work if at all possible.
Hopefully that makes sense!
Also, doesn't your colostrum change based on what your baby needs. Not sure how that voodoo magic works lol So what little you are producing now probably isn't what will be needed come July.
So you definitely want those first drops of colostrum to go right into baby's system the day baby is actually born. The colostrum slowly turns to milk those first few days, giving baby exactly what they need to keep their belly full until the milk comes in completely. Pumping early total screws up the body, from what I hear.
