WOAH! I LOVE how confident you are with your new baby body. I know a lot of folk who would be “out pops the baby and get me back in my size zeros”… You look gorgeous, might I say, and your new wardrobe is as flattering as ever!

hugs and smiles sent to you three! x

Cute outfits!

My take on leggings: totally okay to wear as pants as long as 90% of your ass is covered.

I have the same motorcycle hoodie jacket, in gray. It’s from Urban and I love it! Looks good with everything!

Yay NIP :) You’d think people would care less about nursing down here in da Souf where people are often half dressed in the humidity anyway, but… I know this isn’t a bf-ing blog too! Sorry to get carried away with it :) It’s like my activism outlet while I’m not working or something.

lol @ Saundra with spraying… I totally let my letdown spray into a puddle on the floor the other day so I didn’t choke my little one >.>

giant boobs+nursing not always an easy combo.. plus when you get the belly fat hanging out it wasnt to good looking (to me) i did what the others posted with my sec. one (too uncomfortable to n.i.p. with first) is the tank under the shirt to cover the belly and a button up shirt or a loose shirt over.. my main prob was when letdown occured and stuff went spraying EVERYWHERE lol for that i always had a towel or burprag to catch the “extra”

@ Tara – You nailed it with oversized knits and leggings for pregnant-in-winter. I did lots of secondhand clothes but very few were actually maternity. I was all about the super stretchy fabrics. And lots of layers!

@ Pat – I actually found the tux onesie secondhand – a total score. But it would be super easy to make (which was my original plan)

@ Sarah – I agree 100% with all your nursing mama tips, and I’m all about nursing in public!

@ Nicole – Sounds like you need to hit the thrift and only go for *stretchy* stuff – so you can grow in it! =D

@ Kelly H. – Aw, thank you sweetie. I’m just trying to have fun with it!

@Nicole:
Sagging has more to do with pregnancy, breast size and genetics than breastfeeding. (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/11/071101170723.htm) I definitely sag… but my mom didn’t till menopause because she never lost the breastfeeding size (heh).

I also have the same problem with basically needing an entirely new wardrobe, but when the hell to buy it? When you lose some weight or should wait until you change shape?? Gah. I prefer minimal stuff, so I tend just to keep 7ish outfits plus stuff to layer. It’s been easier to manage that way with all the body changing, but still. I’m the new normal I became after my first will be the same this time around so I’ll be able to wear some of that again!

Also, I’m in yoga pants now. Heh.

Just fair warning to all of you nursing ladies that those boobies shrink and sag come weaning time. I’m down to two feedings a day (daughter is 12 months) and my breast are back at the size they started at, but about 3 inches lower. I used to be able to go sans bra… ummm… that doesn’t work anymore. So, all of my old little shelf tanks that were perfect for under low sweaters etc. don’t work. Also, most of my clothes were bought before I was even planning to get pregnant (bought nothing when I knew I’d be preggo the next season), so I’m now in 3-6 year old clothes that fit my pre-baby bod… everything is either out of style or doesn’t fit or both. I need to replace the entire lot (well, in order to get out of yoga pants, that is). Problem is, I’m planning number two… so, do I put the work/time/$$ into clothes for one season only to have the same problem again in two years? Oh, we women, we have it tough I tell ya…
