I know its anti-etiquette to ask for brand names on the list, so please
Email your answers to me off the list.  The question is this:  I have a
client who is breastfeeding her 3 mo old son as well as her 18 mo old
daughter.  She is having a very hard time finding a bra which is comfortable
and IMHO she has extraordinarily long, large and fibrous nipples (probably a
little bigger than the circumference of a quarter, at the end, and a good 2
- 2½ inches long).  She says that they literally fold upwards or downwards
in her bra, no matter how big her bra is, and that it causes her to develop
thrush in the fold.  She has already had two bouts with mastitis this
pregnancy and now she has blebs (maybe unrelated - hard to tell), but in any
case she is uncomfortable.  Do any of you have suggestions for bras or
simply suggestions?

 

Thanks,
