[quote=Anonymous]I had a larger chest pre pregnancy (40dd) and, once my milk started to come in in the hospital, by measurements I got up to abou an H cup, so, yes, I had to order online. I think I liked Bravado well enough, but I had to send my mother and husband out to try to get something, anything, for the hospital, so I wish I would have gone to the hospital with at least one. I ended up with sleep bras (I leaked so much and kept a towel under me for about the first three months). A friend who'd had a baby before me gave me nursing pads (loved) and lanolin (LOVED) and thank god cause I used them all the time in the beginning.

I pumped for a month (long story) and when I started to hurt it was excruciating; it was thrush. Got that treated and then the first few days were uncomfortable, but tolerable. I wish I'd known about the "boo sandwich" as my LC called it, although I don't know if smaller breasted women need to rely on it so heavily. I never had nursing tops or tanks, but that,s because I preferred strongly to nurse in private. Also, I am so glad that I had the formula, and thank god we rented the Symphony.

It wasn't bad once I got the hang of it. You'll be fine.[/quote]
