Thanks. > >Denise Mollenkopf, RNC, IBCLC >[log in to unmask] I found on returning to work every time someone asked me about my beautiful darlings, I needed to change my shirt !-) After a while, I learnt to; 1. wear shirts that didn't show the milk stains/wet patches 2. use my husband's folded hankies as breastpads rather than commercial ones 3. change the breastpads often! 4. adopt a pose so no-one could tell I was putting pressure on my breasts to stop the leaking! We have a product here which is made from the same stuff they make cloth nappy liners from. Its an open weave in the shape of a pocket so you can fill it with hankies (or tissues/toilet paper if you run out). I found it worked well too. Cloth nappies cut into small squares are also more absorbant and far more useful, too. _______________________________________________________________________ Narelle Clark o o Underfed, underwashed, underslept - but well loved. \ / o o \ / It's great being a parent! ` '` '` '` ' [log in to unmask]
