With dc #2 I did use nursing bras while pg as I already had them. If you have already gone up a size you may still go up more before you need nursing bras so I would get measured but there is no reason not to use them if you want to. [ Reply | More

Victoria's Secret makes a good bra that is WIRELESS (which is important) - the IPEX. You can wear them now and later too, as a nursing bra after the first couple of months once your milk supply stabilizes (just pull your breast out of it). [ Reply | More

I'd just go get fitted for a nursing bra (they can help you determine what size you need now that will also work pp). Nursing bras are the same as regular except the panel that pulls down. I see no reason you can't just go buy them now. [ Reply | More

Are you outgrowing the cup or the band? I went and got measured for new bras that were the same cup size but had a lot more give and stretch and then just got a TON of bra extenders b/c my big problem has been the band width. They are life savers. I'm 7 mos pg now and think I can stick it out until near the end when I'll go get fitted for nursing bras. [ Reply | More

Because the DOE turns a deaf ear to parent's individual and group pleas: petitions, rallys, and press conferences. For ex. when I asked Marty Barr at Ex. Dir. at OSEPO why they aren't enforcing their own admissions policies with schools in D 15, he said rhetorically: "What can I do about it?" Lots of buck passing... [ Reply | More

Seems to me that Klein has a clear end goal for G&T in NYC. It may not be what MC/UMC white parents want but I think it is a laudable goal. The interim steps suck. Last year was a cluster fu*k and this year was worse BUT they are moving toward that egalitarian goal and I think that is where NYC DOE should be. [ Reply | More

ITA. When you are talking about admissions you don't want to piss anyone off. I think lawsuits are unfortunate, but I don't see parents making great inroads with the DOE. [ Reply | More

The lawsuits are what forced the whole G&T and lottery admissions regulations change which some would argue was not so great. There is definitely more transparency now than there used to be, but more families find themselves without 'acceptable' spots. [ Reply | More
