I used to leak A TON, but now that my supply has kind of evened out, I still need one because I still get pretty engorged and feel very heavy by the morning. I sleep in a coobie bra. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-ever-able-to-sleep-braless-when-bf#post-925893 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 08:12:59 +0000 mamabolt 925893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a year+ pp and still wearing a bra to bed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-ever-able-to-sleep-braless-when-bf#post-925855 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 08:05:33 +0000 Mrsbells 925855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: In the beginning I Didnt even know about slleep bras so I would wear a tank top and then put the nursing pads in there. It worked fine sometimes but other times the pads would shift and I Would wake up in a pool of milk </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-ever-able-to-sleep-braless-when-bf#post-925812 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 07:51:57 +0000 sorrycharlie 925812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always wore a cami tank with a shelf bra. It almost eliminated my constant blocked ducts, was comfy and offered some support and easy to pull down to nurse. I could also still wear bra pads. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-ever-able-to-sleep-braless-when-bf#post-925809 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 07:51:09 +0000 edelweiss 925809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i wear a nursing tank with shelf bra and nursing pads as my pj top every night (LO is almost 6 months). i'm not leaking that much, but sometimes i do and i'm already in the habit of wearing the protective stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-ever-able-to-sleep-braless-when-bf#post-925808 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 07:50:58 +0000 matador84 925808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not until like 6 or 7 months? I tried it for a while and didn't like it so I at least sleep in a yoga bra now. I like it a lot better than sleep nursing bras. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-ever-able-to-sleep-braless-when-bf#post-925804 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 07:49:14 +0000 shopaholic 925804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: Thanks!

I ordered off amazon ! They don't show through for me and are soft fleece ! I have leaked in mine and they did a good job ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-ever-able-to-sleep-braless-when-bf#post-925789 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 07:37:42 +0000 shopaholic 925789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: Ooh! What brand? I'm finally able to wear washables more often since the leaking isn't as bad. Had a terrible experience with one, got some free ones I like, and a pair of Bamboobies (love, but they show through). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-ever-able-to-sleep-braless-when-bf#post-925781 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 07:34:43 +0000 JerricaBenton 925781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't worn a bra since the very beginning. I would change my shirt or nightgown if I leaked. Now that LO is consistently sleeping 8 hrs again I definitely have to feed her right away or I'd leak. My husband changes her and brings her to me. If I get up to feed her I leak. No more daytime leaking either! I still have lots of milk. LO is just about 5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-ever-able-to-sleep-braless-when-bf#post-925771 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 07:30:13 +0000 pl0508 925771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: I wear pads 24/7 too. Thank goodness I found some washable ones I like ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-ever-able-to-sleep-braless-when-bf#post-925757 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 07:27:26 +0000 shopaholic 925757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, not yet at least! Always wear a nursing tank or bra. I always leak and soak through anything on the other side while feeding. I have to wear pads 24/7, which is annoying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-ever-able-to-sleep-braless-when-bf#post-925697 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 07:12:17 +0000 Adira 925697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never wore a bra. In the very beginning, I'd wake up in a puddle of milk (thank goodness for mattress protectors!), but I'd rather change the sheets than wear a bra to bed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-ever-able-to-sleep-braless-when-bf#post-925696 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 07:12:04 +0000 hellobeeboston 925696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never wore a bra to bed except in the very beginning, like 2 weeks pp - but switched to a nursing cami. I leaked until about 2 months ago at 6 months pp. I *just* started sleeping in a nirmal tank or shirt a few weeks ago! I still nurse LO when he wakes first thing so whatever is easy access. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-ever-able-to-sleep-braless-when-bf#post-925678 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 07:07:47 +0000 travellingbee 925678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Huh. Never worn one to bed either. No supply issues but I've never leaked. Sounds like people either do need them the whole time or never have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-ever-able-to-sleep-braless-when-bf#post-925593 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 06:21:26 +0000 AprilFool 925593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 3mth pp I have just stopped wearing a nursing tank to bed. I was getting the worst back pain from constantly wearing a bra. Now everything has a chance to relax a bit. I don't really leak anymore though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-ever-able-to-sleep-braless-when-bf#post-925586 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 06:14:27 +0000 dagret 925586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope not me...and I def. have major letdown during night feelings so it would be super messy to go without. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-ever-able-to-sleep-braless-when-bf#post-925541 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 05:13:34 +0000 Bao 925541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope 10.5 months PP and I still have to wear a night nursing bra because I leak when I let down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-ever-able-to-sleep-braless-when-bf#post-925536 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 05:04:58 +0000 Kemma 925536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear a nursing tank to bed and I've never had issues with leaking unless I've slept funny and crimped my nipple in the night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-ever-able-to-sleep-braless-when-bf#post-925529 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 04:50:44 +0000 PrincessBaby 925529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always wear a coobie or just a tank with a shelf bra.

I leaked so much the first 6/7 months that I HAD to wear the pads. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-ever-able-to-sleep-braless-when-bf#post-925435 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 00:39:05 +0000 sarac 925435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never wore a bra. I leaked on the bed all the time for the first few months, but I preferred changing sheets to sleeping in a bra. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-ever-able-to-sleep-braless-when-bf#post-925294 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 23:09:32 +0000 mrskc 925294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still do at 9 months pp. It's not b/c of leakage but because I feel like my boobs need the support since they are so much bigger. I hardly ever am braless anymore b/c it feels weird. I also don't like the feeling of my boobs resting on upper abdomen, so I still wear a sleep bra to bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-ever-able-to-sleep-braless-when-bf#post-925283 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 23:02:53 +0000 BlueWolverine 925283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hardly ever do. I find even the most comfy bras to feel constraining and I like the gals to feel free. I don't feel like I need the support. I have a few crossover tanks from Old Navy that I can put nursing pads in if I need to - they'll generally keep them in the right spot. If I get so engorged that I'm leaking, I generally have to get up and do something about it. I can't sleep when I'm that full. Wish I could throw in some nursing pads and call it good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-ever-able-to-sleep-braless-when-bf#post-925278 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 23:01:11 +0000 aprk 925278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dont wear a bra. I just leak through my shirt and chang after MOTN feedings if necessary. I have a stack of tshirts by the bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-ever-able-to-sleep-braless-when-bf#post-925265 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 22:49:22 +0000 RubyCali 925265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@78h2o: same! Glad there's some good that comes with having supply issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-ever-able-to-sleep-braless-when-bf#post-925254 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 22:42:06 +0000 dolphin 925254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped wearing a bra to sleep recently. Bf for 6.5 months. I slip nursing pads under my cami though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-ever-able-to-sleep-braless-when-bf#post-925249 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 22:40:15 +0000 rawrasaur 925249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kind of thought you were always supposed to. I've worn a bra every night since her birth. </p>
