Breastfeeding

I’m so happy because my supply has calmed down enough that I don’t need breast pads anymore!  For months I had to wear them even when I was lounging around the house or else I’d have one soaked shirt :)  I still wear them when I’m out in public *just in case* but I haven’t really had any issues.

Mammas…if you’ve been dealing with leakage, have no fear, your time will come where you won’t have to wear them anymore!!!

I feel so freeeeeee.

I absolutely LOVE Lansinoh disposable breast pads . They are so easy to use and don’t stick to the nipple at all. And, since I have an oversupply they are essential The problem is, they are $9 a pop at my local Rite Aid.

Each box comes with 60 pads, divide that by two (for obvious reasons ;), then divide that by 4 (the average number of times I change them), and you’re left with not a lot of day’s worth of use per box.

We use cloth diapers, so that’s a savings, but this is one baby care cost I never considered.

I read somewhere that you can cut an old towel into little circles to use. I may do that for home use to save some money and use the Lansinoh when we are out and about.
