 1. For those who did EBF, how many bras and nursing tanks did you have?  I HAD 3-4 OF EACH, AND USUALLY WORE THEM FOR TWO DAYS BEFORE WASHING.
2. Did you have different bras for night time and for during the day? NEVER WORE ONE AT NIGHT
3. For the moms with a larger chest (pre-pregnant in the 36E range), how much bigger did you get? Thus far I have been able to stick with most of the bras I was using before getting pregnant but they aren’t breastfeeding ones so I will get new ones.  LEAVE THIS TO THE LARGER CHESTED MOMS TO ANSWER!
 4. What brands work best for that size and will I have to order them online? 
5. Did you buy breastfeeding bras before the baby was born/do you recommend I have a couple to start with and then add to them? I THINK I HAD ONE BEFORE AND THEN WENT FROM THERE
 6. Any advice on what to expect when transitioning from EBF to a combo of pumping and breast feeding?  PUMP AS MANY TIMES PER DAY AS YOUR CHILD IS DRINKING AT DAYCARE.  EMPTYING YOUR BREAST SIGNALS IT TO MAKE MORE MILK.  
 7. Anything important I am not asking that I should know? HAVE ON HAND THE NAME OF A GOOD LACTATION CONSULTANT.  IF YOU'RE IN VIRGINIA, HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE BREASTFEEDING MOMS GROUP AT MEETS EVERY WEDNESDAY AT VA HOSPITAL CENTER.  RUN BE A FABULOUS IBCLC.  IT MIGHT GO EASILY FOR YOU AND YOUR INFANT, OR IT COULD BE HARD.   UNLESS YOU ARE AN OVER-SUPPLIER, GET FAMILIAR WITH "GALACTAGOUGES", THOSE THINGS THAT WILL BOOST YOUR MILK SUPPLY (OATMEAL, ALMONDS, FENUGREEK).  DRINK WATER, DRINK WATER AND DRINK MORE WATER.

Congratulations and enjoy the experience![/quote]
