The Ultimate Breastfeeding Book of Answers

I love this book. It has so far answered all the questions I and any of my friends have had about breastfeeding. I highly recommend it as a reference to have on hand for anyone who is planning to breastfeed. I still look most things up on http://kellymom.com/, but this book is a really great resource and has more in-depth expertise on breastfeeding.

cutting holes in shirts

I did it. I cut boob holes in perfectly good new shirts. And they turned out great! I bought some cheap t-shirts and camis. I cut slits down each side. I started the hole kind of right under my chest, where the fabric wasn't being pulled quite as tightly so that the holes won't pull open as much and stick out and get lumpy under my clothes. Now I can wear these nursing undershirts so that my tummy doesn't show when I'm feeding Little Girl in public. I love it! Easy, cheap, and very useful!
