BF and swimsuits

[lilahbean13]

So when Cooper was born in July, I didn't dare slip on a swimsuit that summer. However, since Barrett was born recently that means I will still be breastfeeding in the summer if all goes well. So what do you do for swimwear? I mean I'm worried I will leak through my swimsuit and I don't think my disposable pads or the cloth ones I bought are water proof. I feel like I'm doing a terrible job of explaining my question lol babies have swim diapers...do mommys have swim nipple pad thingys?

So I'm hoping to have stopped leaking by then. I was planning to wear a halter top swimsuit for easy access.

I stopped leaking at 10 weeks with DS2. ... and if your wet already maybe no one will notice?

I've never seen swim bra pads. I'd just use disposables and toss them before you go in the water and put in a new set when you get out. I would assume by summer though that you'll definitely be done leaking!

I don't think it would be a problem not using them. I still leak but have gone swimming without a problem. I didn't notice anything even if I did leak a bit.

I didn't even consider the fact that I probably won't be leaking by then. DUH. Thanks yall I will stop worrying !!

I am always a leaky mess and it was never an issue. All 19 months with G if he ate off one side the other leaked. I honestly never thought about it. Maybe get a black suit if you notice. Either way I think you are good.

I would just get a black suit, I think the would hide it if you do leak. I leaked the whole time I nursed.

This is what I did after having L. I won't lie.. i forgot to take them out more than a few times.... those things take on a lot of water!

With LO I stopped leaking at 12 weeks. For swimsuits I wore a halter top style that was black. It was easy to maneuver and LO could nurse. I do think they have swimsuits designed for nursing (if I remember correctly) but I was to cheap to buy one!
