boob sweat: by jean

yes, i said it. boob sweat.
i've never really had this problem until now.

the past few days have been a bit humid here on the east coast, and i'm scared of what's to come this summer.  at home, i stay away from wearing those lovely nursing pads as much as possible but in public, i stuff my bra with them because i know i will leak at some point.  it will soon get way too hot to wear pads under a bra, so for now i found a decent solution: get a lace bra with no padding (no, i'm not trying to be sexy).  i have one from the Gap, something similar to this below:

i put my lansinoh nursing pad in the bra since this doesn't have any padding.  that way, there's at least a little less fabric! it makes me feel lighter than wearing my regular bra or a nursing bra and stuffing the nursing pads on top of that.

i also love my american apparel's interlock bra.

i've had this since my pre-pregnancy days.  it's almost like wearing a thin tank/bra.  since its thin and not too tight, it expands with you as you "fill up" on breast milk without making you feel too suffocated.  if you are in need of more support, this is probably not the best solution but it will definitely be a lot cooler and lighter, which means minimal boob sweat!

for all the nursing/pumping ummas out there: how do YOU stay cool during the summer?
