Wearing bra to bed?

[Belfa]

Hi

I keep seeing references to needing to buy bras for bedtime - is this for when you're breast feeding baby? Are there "special" bedtime bras that you can buy?

I seem to have phantom boob leakage through the night and am wondering if I need to start wearing a bra with breast pads to bed now? x

I wore bras to bed at the start of my pregnancy when my boobs were really sensitive and sore, but I've not needed to for a while.

I know Mothercare do soft, night time bras and I assumed these for were for when you get leaky boobs and need to hold a breast pad in place, or when you're feeding the baby.

When my boobs first started leaking I wore a bra and pads to bed but it made them sore and I was itching like mad. Now I'm just letting them be free! Means I wake up with dried up milk stains on my nightie but I'd rather not be up all night cos I can't sleep in a bra.

Asda do these really comfy crop tops I bought in the biggest size. £6 each. I don't wear them every night as I do get hot but much nicer to wear in bed than a bra x

Thanks! I have a "sports bra" from primark that wouldn't you in if you sneezed lol! It's very comfy though so I wear it at the weekend so I'll try and get more of them. My boobs have been quite dry and sometimes itchy so like you heybabya I like them to get a bit more air at night!

I'll have a look in Asda at the weekend Lucy x
