Hi all
Am about to become a Mum for the first time, so have no breast pad experience whatsoever! I'm very keen to avoid using disposables if at all possible, but keep hearing horror stories about leaking and washable breastpads just not being able to cope with milk flow in the early days of breastfeeding.
I have been thinking about a few different pads and may well get a pair of Lilypadz to try out, but would also like some washable fabric ones.
I quite like the look of the ME ones because they're shaped rather than just flat - does anyone have any experience of using them? Any good? Would you recommend the cotton ones or the bamboo ones more?
I have also been looking at the WN breast pads, but as usual, their array of choices is both wonderful and terrifying at the same time! I don't know whether 2 layers is enough or whether I'll need 3 layers for the early days? Do 3 layers make them bulky and visible under clothes? Which fabric is best to go for? How do I know if I need 10cm or 12cm diameter? So many questions!!! If anyone's got any experience of using them, please let me know what you think
Thank you!
