ITA with Kate, I come here to get *away* from the mainstream FFing 'support' I see on other forums.

The problem with this kind of thinking is that in fact, the formula will *not* make the baby sleep any better if the baby is not ready to do so. A friend of mine FFed both her babies due to hypoplasia, and she often says she *wished*...

I am interested in these recommendations too, we'll probably be down the shore a lot in the upcoming summers. Will the suits recommended so far accommodate a -shall we say- ample bosom? I tend to have to buy my regular swimsuits in bra...

I was a DD pre-PG and now I am a G/H! (Yikes!) I have a Bravado that I sleep in, it's not really supportive enough for daytime though. It helps to hold the pads in place. I also have a crossover-front bra from Motherwear that...
