So, there was some info posted over in the chat thread this week about nursing pj's etc.

I'll probably paruse through there again, but I was hoping some of you could recommend a good night bra (and place to buy) for me. I have a massive overproduction issue postpartum and with dd would wake up every morning in a puddle of soppy sheets and milk and a rock-stiff shirt.

I need something that isn't going to restrict my breast tissue in any way though, because I'm prone to clogged ducts.

April, you mentioned something about a night bra to keep nursing pads in place, where did you find such a thing?

My favorite was a tank top with a premium prefold folded sideways in it.

Very attractive I know, but it worked.

Great tip, thanks! I detest wearing bras and am hoping a tank w/ be able to hold in the breast pads when I'm leaking this time around for daytimes.

I used (and plan to use) a camisole with cotton breast pads.
Not sure if that's enough absorption for you, but it was certainly not restrictive.

I got the sleep bras at motherhood maternity. They are just flimsy cotton with criss cross fronts so you pull them to the side. Basicly useless but to hold nursing pads in! (And I had to use lansinoh disposable pads. The reusable ones were a joke for my oversupply!)

I slept with a couple towels under us for a while. We always seemed to have a bit of a diaper blow out (used Fuzzi Bunz at night) and my boobs were very leaky too. I think I might do a waterproof pad and towel this time. I don't want to mess up my new mattress!

(p.s. I'd love to know why the taped up that womans breasts in the link for sleep bras. That bra certainly doesn't provide that type of cleavage!!
