Breastfeeding In The Boroughs - A Queens Guide

In honor of World Breastfeeding Week, here are some local resources for breastfeeding in Queens. I have recently begun nursing my second child and found it no easier the second time around. There is very little support for women who want to breastfeed and the opinions are varied. For every question I have asked over the last few weeks I have gotten 5 answers in return. The bottom line is that the choice to breastfeed is a personal one and something that needs to be supported.

Nursing Bra Alternative

I was shocked and amazed when my boobs shot from a small B to a large C overnight when my milk finally came in. " I need bras!!" I said to my husband and off to the mall we went. To my horror the only nursing bras to be had were full cup boulder holders that had straps the size of suspenders. Yikes!! This simply would not do for the next 6-8 months of my life. After a long search at every store inside Queens Center, I finally found the Calvin Klein 365 line of soft cup bras. While not officially a nursing bra, this is soft and easy to move aside for a feeding. It is also low cut enough to show off all that new cleavage.
