Tears have been no stranger here and we don't even HAVE the baby yet! Gulp! I'm going to check SSY next, but have things settled down at all and is the Dianthus having an easier time eating? I loved reading about how great your parents were (which, of course, was no surprise!). Do you still have help around the house? Good luck with everything!!Tucson Trekkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05108557417394270596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4233715669196324514.post-79543884826076655512009-08-20T17:24:51.929-05:002009-08-20T17:24:51.929-05:00I can also fit into 42DD right now and have a set ...I can also fit into 42DD right now and have a set of bras I like, but none with the total combination. Some don't breathe, some support but jab in the middle when the baby is feeding, several cling on the outside. Thanks for the suggestions.<br />Feet swelling was painful, but fortunately went away.

Nordstrom might too but I know their prices are $$$$. <br /><br />http://www.lactationconnection.com<br />/nursing_fashions_fitting_room.aspx<br /><br />My current favorite bra is by Natori and has memory foam in the straps and cup - although I would guess that nursing and that bra would not go well together.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12033794635638388174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4233715669196324514.post-15241232676241869192009-08-20T11:17:25.036-05:002009-08-20T11:17:25.036-05:00On the subject of nursing bras - I never found one...On the subject of nursing bras - I never found one that was 'perfect' but probably my favorite one was made by La Leche League. Unfortunately it doesn't appear to come in a size that might fit 42F.http://www.llliclothes.com/Bras/Nursing-Bras/Wrap-N-Snap.html<br /><br />It's amazing how much crying happens in a household with a new baby. And how much of it isn't coming from the baby! I lost track of how many meltdowns I had during Annika's first week, but about 80% of them had to do with my boobs.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10763085299053200761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4233715669196324514.post-36107205079135583202009-08-20T09:35:01.620-05:002009-08-20T09:35:01.620-05:00I am also prone to tears when tired and everything...I am also prone to tears when tired and everything is worse.

If they curl in when stimulated, they are "inverted". I suppose one can look at breast feeding material and realize that "normal" nipples stick out like the ones in the photos. If yours don't look like that and/or you can't actually see a part a baby could grasp (the whole of mine sticks out evenly, so there is no protrudance), you could ask a cool nurse or lactation consultant if they are flat.Sparkling Squirrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10899640164757220074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4233715669196324514.post-55324996778562428662009-08-20T07:17:08.321-05:002009-08-20T07:17:08.321-05:00I hope that things ease up for you in the next few...I hope that things ease up for you in the next few weeks. I know I am prone to tears when I have not had enough sleep. I can't imagine how that is compounded with a new little one to worry about. So how does one know if their nipples are flat or not?
