yes...some of us rarely wear them.  i wore one for about the first 4
months post-partum with my younger daughter...but not when my milk came
in (i was "bare" those days) & not at night (wore a stretchy sports bra
until about 18 mos pp when i stopped leaking buckets!).  this time
around i have been wearing mainly non-nursing bras in the day since
about 6 weeks but i did wear a nice stretchy bravado bra when my milk
came in because i was staying with a friend & while it wouldn't have
bothered me to go around topless in her house in front of her (she's
nursed 4 kids, 3 past 2 yrs of age & the 4th is only 7 mos still nursing
of course)...i didn't feel like i needed to display my nude torso to her
husband, ha ha ha...but I have been wearing the bravado (which is a
nursing bra of course) at night where I never wore a nursing bra at
night with my first daughter.

different folks, different strokes...and somethings that worked ok last
time don't feel ok anymore I think.
