<<  Sheesh!  I haven't come up with a
 response that works well because I'm so mystified.  Can anyone explain this
 thinking?  What do you say to moms that makes them feel comfortable going
 without a bra? >>

This is one of those tried and not true rules of breastfeeding.  "You must
wear a nursing bra at all times, or your breasts will DROOP!"  What a thought!
Droopy breasts!  I tell moms to wear a bra if they feel more comfortable
wearing a bra, or if they need to hold some cabbage or pads on for leaking.
Otherwise, wearing a bra to prevent breasts from drooping is as useful as
wearing a girdle to prevent butt-droop.

Droop happens.

Take it from one who is in her jubilee years!!!

Jan Barger -- old and droopy.
