Plus Size Breastfeeding Shirts

Am I measuring myself wrong?

I am, according to BMI, just on the border between overweight and normal. I gave birth 5 months ago so I’m okay with it for now. However, I wanted to attempt to make myself a skirt and bought a pattern. This pattern is putting me in the plus sizes at size 22 or 24. I’ve never needed to shop in plus sizes…I wear Medium shirts (thank you, breastfeeding) and size 8-10 pants. I’m not even on the chart. It’s not a Junior’s pattern. I’m measuring my waist at 36″ and my hips at 40″. I even looked online to make sure I was measuring myself right, and it looks like I am. Am I really in “plus” sizes? Am I doing something wrong? Or is 36″ waist really that huge?

Buy hip-fitting skirt and pants patterns by hip size, not waist — so you need a size 16 misses pattern (don’t worry, pattern sizes are always larger than ready to wear sizes). You’ll “buy” the extra 6″ needed at the waist by straightening the side seam from waist to hip and making the front darts (most likely) smaller, or possibly even eliminating them.

If your skirt pattern is for a skirt that’s designed to be loose at the hip (e.g., gored or dirndl), then you can just use the pattern sized for the waist and deal with the extra fabric in the hip.

Make sure your tape measure is over the appropriate undergarments and parallel to the floor, not tilted up or down, which folks do rather commonly when trying to measure yourself.

You may find you now have a tilted waistline — tie a string around your middle and settle it where you want your waistband to sit. If the CF to floor measurement is now shorter than CB to floor, you’ve got a tilted waistband, and your skirt will tend to swing towards the back at the sideseam. The correct alteration will be to keep the grainline straight at the hip and remove part of the top of the skirt pattern.
If this doesn’t make sense, drop me a note and I’ll explain with some diagrams.

Maternity Breastfeeding Tops

Plus size breastfeeding tops?

I wear a size 20-22 up top, 18-20 on bottom. I had a c section last week, and am having a heck of a time finding tops appropriate for breast feeding or pumping. I work in an office setting and need to find appropriate tops.
I’m on a pretty tight budget, and the cute tops at motherhood maternity cost more than I can afford.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I always liked Destination Maternity. They feature several different brands. A Pea in the Pod, however, does not carry large sizes. Motherhood does. Check the online sales and clearance items, they can be much more affordable.

Also, you might consider just getting a nursing camisole and wearing button-down shirts. That way you can just unbutton the shirt to feed or pump without bearing all.

Try looking for good deals on eBay, and often consignment shops will have gently used nursing wear mixed in with the maternity stuff.

Breastfeeding Wedding Dress

breastfeeding wedding dress
What would be a beautiful, fashion forward dress to wear as a guest to a wedding?

I am going to a wedding next week for an old friend of the family. I have recently lost a bunch of weight and want to show up looking fantastic and very stylish since a lot of old friends will be there that have not seen me in a while. I am 31, 5′ 3″ and weigh about 130. I have a smaller chest (34 B) and larger hips (WHEN WILL PEAR SHAPED BE IN STYLE?!? LOL) I tend to be between a size 4 and size 6. I have great shoulders and bad thighs. I don’t mind wearing strapless but can’t do backless since I have to be able to wear a bra (after breastfeeding 3 kids the ladies are not where they used to be) I don’t mind showing the legs but must be able to bend down to my kids without showing too much ;) I would love some links to dresses that are the current style but still appropriate for my age and I am trying to stay in the $100 or less range. Thanks so much in advance for your help!!

You should look at the sale dresses at Banana Republic. You’ll find something flattering, kid friendly, that you can wear again and in your price range.

Pick something knee length (great for bending). Keep the dress simple in a nice color and buy some nice (cheap) bracelets and earrings.

Pregnant And Breastfeeding Signs

Could I be pregnant while breastfeeding? I don’t have my period yet and I have many signs of pregnancy?

I am still nursing my 11 month old son and I still don’t have my period. For over a week I have been having many signs that make me feel like something is up! I have been feeling waves of nausea, lightheaded very often throughout the day and some fatigue. I also want nothing to do with my morning coffee … I took a pregnancy test at home at night, it came out negative. A blood test also came out negative. I am not sure what to to think. What do others think? Could I still be pregnant with these signs and 2 negative tests.

If you had a negative blood test then I don’t thinkn so. That shows up pretty early – I think if it was too early to say from a blood test you wouldn’t be having symptoms.

But you can get pregnant even if you’re breast feeding, the LAM only works for 6 months. Though some women find it hard to get pregnant while breast feeding others get pregnant quickly.

Try Kohl's or Target. No reason to buy "breast-feeding attrition." Normal clothes do same. Just look at the front or V-neck shirts tanks was that I used are those that have the pinch on them. And doll tops are very good, are free and can be removed fairly easily. Do not waste money on these clothes, especially if they are "poor."

Easy Breastfeeding

Is it easy to get pregnant while breastfeeding?

I have a three month old daughter who I totally breastfeed and I take the mini pill also. I missed a pill, and I am scared about getting pregnant. I haven’t had a period in over a year. What are the chances of getting pregnant?

If you are breastfeeding exclusively and your child does not use a pacifier but instead breastfeeds every time they want to suck, then it’s not easy to fall pregnant at all, especially if you have not got your periods back. I’ve breastfed all my children, and apart from the child who ended up having breastmilk pumped for him at ten months old, it’s taken me two years at least for me to fall pregnant with the next child.

Postnatal Depression Breastfeeding

how long after giving birth is it possible to get postnatal depression?

I’ve had depression about five years ago, my baby is 8 months old and i’ve also just stopped breastfeeding. I’ve recently lost a lot of weight (not by trying to) my appetites not good and i feel i’ll a lot of the time. I feel stressed and down most of the time too and can’t seem to keep on top of things.
Whats the difference between just feeling down and post natal depression?

The difference is that your mood is affecting your everyday life and other people are noticing a difference in your behaviour. Being a mother is hard. I have a daughter who’s 3 and a daughter who’s one and i was diagnosed with post-natal depression when the youngest was six months. The name basically means the mother is having trouble dealing with her life now that she has children, so i don’t think there’s really a time line. If your feeling down, go and see your doctor, they’ll be able to help you figure it out.
Good luck and God bless.

breastfeeding and change life has changed for you? Discussion?

I have been breastfeeding for almost 3 months now … It can be difficult sometimes, but life has really changed. I can not stand the Nice Summit where I use to use before. I feel like a mother now. I have 26 years and mother of a first. I can give your baby breast milk helps to have a good start for a lifetime and milk Breastfeeding is best, but I have to wear this stupid nursing bra all the time … aong nursing pads! Its so fustrating! Unable to obtain the use of! Now I am a stay at home mother, I do not wear shirts at home now during the day because I get all the milk in it! I'm not going anywhere, even if I try to pump … It takes as long as breastfeeding, so why discount! Breastfeeding is a commitment to 24 / 7. I give my baby a good start, but I wonder if the same for everyone no that's a first time mom! I'm trying to follow with it and it works, but can be stressful at times …

I breastfed for about 3 months and I am a mother first and I am very grateful that he never had blocking problems. I'm still a student, so I have to pump if it dies of hunger or try to give the formula (which absolutely hates). The fool and nursing bras leak have been ugly boring – I fixed this problem by making some Lily Padz (http://www.lilypadz.com) and a fastener thread. As for food in public, had nursing cover (mine was http://bebeaulait.com/ but I saw a plain, but functional target).

Creams For Stretch Marks

Stretch marks are a normal part of puberty for most girls and boys. Stretch marks are generally associated with pregnancy, obesity, and fitness may develop during rapid muscle growth. It is a common condition that does not cause health problems, but may be of concern aesthetic level for some people. Stretch marks are the result of the rapid elongation of the skin associated with rapid growth (eg puberty) or increased weight (eg, pregnancy), and the use of anabolic steroids. Men and women can get stretch marks on several areas of your body including the abdomen, thighs, hips, breasts, arms or lower back.
Stretch marks can also occur from prolonged use of oral or topical corticosteroids. Stretching the skin can cause a stinging or itching sensation. 50-90 are presented in a pregnant women.

Stretch marks can appear anywhere on the body. Most common places are the abdomen (especially near the belly button), breasts, arms, underarms, thighs (inner and outer), hips and buttocks. Stretch marks are usually several centimeters long and 1-10 mm. Those caused by corticosteroid use or Cushing's syndrome are often larger and larger. The glucocorticoid hormones responsible for developing of stretch marks affect the epidermis by preventing the formation of fibroblast collagen and elastin fibers, necessary to keep growing skin taut. There are plenty treatment against stretch marks. StretchNil is a herbal preparation only one that has been specifically created for the prevention or minimization of stretch marks.

Collagen creams claim (to maintain the property or right) to expand the grooves. Some cream manufacturers claim the best results are to achieve a goal
on recent stretch marks, but few studies to support these assertions. Cocoa butter cream, which is available in pharmacies, is often recommended to soften scarring, so maybe worth a try. Some cream manufacturers claim the best results are achieved on recent stretch marks, but few studies support these claims. These creams should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding. organic oils (rose oil or emu oil), vegetable oils, cocoa butter and shea butter become fat content of the skin, beautify water retention, and soften skin texture for a while.

Nursing Breastfeeding Dress

Any other mommy need someone to talk to also?

I had a baby 6 months ago. I know I am going through alot of things right now.I’m not sure if I would say that I am depressed because I have days where I am feeling so happy and glad to be a new mommy again.I am down because I am actually beginning to gain weight.I am breastfeeding and feel like quitting because I wonder if this is why I am gaining weight.I do love breastfeeding though so I would hate to give it up.I feel sad.Yesterday was my 34th birthday and my husband and I got into a little spat and he said I don’t dress nice anymore.I know he didn’t mean to hurt my feelings but he did.He did apologize.I can’t help it nothing fits and I’m getting fatter.I try to diet but I am so hungry from nursing.I am drained from caring for the baby and the family that I have zero energy to excersise.Are there other moms out there that are having a hard time like me?

Husbands, breast feeding, and babies are exhausting! And now is not the time to diet. Eat healthy well balanced meals, have 2 snacks a day, and drink tons of water. Every time you feed the baby, you should have a glass of water. You could be dehydrated or just plain tired! Are you still taking your prenatal vitamins. My doctor had me continue taking them the entire time that I breast fed Noah.
Cut out fast food, fried food, and junk food. Increase you intake of bananas, grapes, and strawberries. Eat one or two salads w/ your lunch and dinner. But, don’t but back on your calories. The weight will eventually come off. It took me 14-15 months to get back to “almost normal”! As for your clothes being too tight, you may need to go buy a few transitional pieces. Pick up a few pair of capri’s (black, tan, and denim) and buy a few colorful spring tops. You’ll boost your mood, you’ll look nice, and everyone will be happy. Good luck!

First period after birth (breastfeeding, ‘baby’ is 16 months..)?

The first day it was not so bad but the second night I completely soaked through a heavy tampon in 40 minutes and stained my underwear/pajamas. It is not the normal clot-like period but really bright red – is this normal?

I breastfeed and nurse and got mine right away. It will be heavy at first but if you are concerned asked the gyno

MY 91/2 MONTH OLD LOOKS LIKE A 3 MONTH OLD!!?

Hi everyone.

Well I have a nine month old who looks like he is three months old. He weighs 12lbs and a couple Oz. He eats and eats, and his PCP even suggested giving him more calories, plus he is breastfeeding on top of it. He is getting plenty but I dont know where he is storing it.

We are currently going to specialists and have numerous doctor appointments throughout the the month, but no one has yet gave him a diagnosis. Each appointment he gains a couple ounces, so he is gaining but very slow. He is seeing a cardiologist (mid size murmur, and right ventricle larger), and a Pulmonary specialist. Also, he has Tracheal Malaysia. I’m just wondering if anyone knows or heard of anything that is similar to the problems my son has, a diagnosis, the outcomes, suggestions, anything????

Thanks

i know a boy who is 7 but you would swear that he is like 4. he has a problem with growth horomones. he is perfectly heathly and i think they have decided to start giving him horomones in a pill to stimulate his growth. he is a very happy healthy, and other than his size, perfectly normal child. hopefully this is the most that your baby will have to deal with. best of luck.

Breastfeeding New Mothers

New mother of a 5 day old and breastfeeding…can I do one breast for 30 minutes and then offer the next?

breast at the next feeding?? He often latches on for a good 20+ minutes on both sides but I feel the longer he stays on one he’ll be more full and sleep between the 2 hour feedings…am I right on this?

I totally agree with the first answer. Let the baby finish one breast completely before offering the second. This way, he’s getting the higher-fat milk at the end of the feeding.

When mine was an infant, I didn’t worry about evenly stimulating both breasts — the baby will do that on his own, according to his needs.

Follow your instincts. Sounds like you’re doing good!

Breastfeeding Feels Good

breastfeeding feels good
Weight loss, breast feeding, I will come back automatically?

I loved how I lost weight while breastfeeding my little boy. I've never felt better! But for me, I make everything as soon as I stop. My eating habbits have not changed at all, that as usual the same way. For any other encountered this?

Be very careful when the baby starts to wean. Nursing uses up a lot of calories, so once you fully weaned, have to eat less or exercise more to ensure that you do not gain weight. I lost a little weight during the first year after each my children were born, but he won slower during the 2nd year (as my children breastfed less) because I was not as good my eating habits. My most Youth will be 2 in a few days and I am to get back on the march again. Good luck to you!

Ideas please – clothing for breastfeeding?

I breastfeed my child in 6 weeks and go to a wedding a few weeks. I wore a dress, but realized it would be a nightmare for breastfeeding! Ideas for a good style of clothing that will let me feed discreetly? I refuse to eat in a toilet and I will not have a car there! And I can not express and bottles, because I will be in the wedding throughout the day and my breasts will explode if the diet! Emma – I have the intention to be discreet – that's why I am asking this question! I am not getting on stage and do it! Obviously not my day but I'm sure people do not want to hear mourn my baby is hungry! Good luck with the baby. Susi – My baby is invited to the wedding as I was. And he does not cry is not that they feed me!

Suze Hi, good on you. Emma seems more not be concerned about the comfort of your baby. If others are uncomfortable is your problem. When my daughter was 1mth old, his first run was a marriage and express so the bottles come into the equation, that breast milk in the country and was sure going to breastfeed anywhere else. I got a higher rate cami (this could be a regular "wife-beater vest top to match the General Team). I also Incase change the baby" sick "of it. Over wrapped in a pashmina. This meant that I could easily get the Fed and the baby blanket for those who were objectifying My 38Gs uncomfortable because my baby was actually use so they were created.

Breast Pumps in Torrance

Over the past 20 years a plethora of research has shown the many health and developmental advantages that breastfeeding can provide to children. Breast milk contains antibodies that can protect your baby from viruses and bacteria. Breast milk is also the most complete nutrition for infants, and if fed breast milk, the babies tend to be a little leaner, which can promote proper weight levels later in life.

Not only will your child benefit, but you as the breast-feeding mother will too, in terms of making post-partum weight loss easier, lowering the risk of breast and ovarian cancers, and by developing a stronger bond with your baby. By utilizing a breast pump you can certainly keep on breast feeding when at work. The Medical Centre Compounding Pharmacy carries the easy to use Medela breast pump on the recommendation of the women’s nursing unit at the Little Company of Mary Hospital in Torrance.

As a Torrance supplier of Breast Pumps, the highly trained professionals at the Medical Centre Compounding Pharmacy will tell you that the Medela breast pump puts less stress on the mother because the pumping experience is closer to the natural suckling of a baby. This breast pump will also improve the amount of milk extracted during a pumping session. These breast pumps can be either purchased or rented, so you’ll want to talk to a professional technician and let them answer all your questions about breast feeding pumps.

You might even choose to use a breast pump to pump all of your breast milk for your infant. Perhaps the baby is not comfortable with breast feeding, or the infant has a hard time with breast feeding or prefers bottles. Pumping all of your milk to feed in bottles is a great choice because the infant will still get all of the health benefits derived from mother’s milk. When you are looking for breast pumps you will want to consider the use of the Medela breast pump, it features some of the most advanced design available in the industry.

Along with the convenience concerns surrounding breast feeding it is also important to monitor your diet carefully. Talk to your physician about what you should be eating and ingesting and what you should avoid. Everything you take into your body is likely to have some effect on your breast milk and thus your baby.

In the end the important thing to remember is that both the short term and long-term health of your precious baby is likely to be affected by your feeding decisions. You will almost certainly have a healthier and happy baby if you choose to breastfeed. Breast pumps and other aides are an effective way to make that decision easier and help make breast feeding more convenient and fully possible now matter what your life situation is.
