Thanks in advance for any knowledge you can share with me
I teach prenatal breastfeeding classes and spoke w a woman who had by pass surgery a few years ago and lost 170 pounds--now pregnant and planning to breastfeed
she states her breasts are now like 2 tube socks hanging down to her navel--lots of loose skin and she feels the breast tissue and nipple way down the line ---is not able to find a bra to wear that fits properly so she has been literally folding her breasts in half and stuffing them into a normal bra-
ouch--
yes I suggested that she NOT do that-she does agree that it her breasts are sore at the end of the day.
---can she find a bra of some sort anywhere?-
I suggested a large tube top that will at least keep them from swaying ( which she complained of--thats why she starting folding them up ).
does anyone have any experiece / suggestions for counselling a woman with these issues?
she will deliver in a month
help
