How to wear it in Stage 1-2 (0-6 months):
During the first 6 months of breastfeeding, we recommend you loosen the Do Anything Bra when you’re not pumping so it offers no lifting or acute points of compression.
- When pumping: Tighten the straps and the hook & eye in the back to tighten the bra and maximize the pump parts suction with your breast
- When done pumping: Loosen the straps as much as possible and loosen the hook & eye in the back so that the bra no longer offers any compression or lift.
- If for some reason you are prone to overproduction and engorgement and you happen to get a clogged duct (even while doing all of this), we’d recommend that you reduce all-day wear until you reach the 6-month threshold.
How to insert your flanges:
Option 1: placing your fingers closest to the clasp, pull the Do Anything Bra away from your body and slide the flange in through the slits in the front of the bra. Then, position over your nipple.
Option 2 (for silicone or extra-large flanges): unclip the nursing clip and insert the flange through the backdoor "bottoms first". Then position over your nipple.
Best pumping pro-tip: Do breast compressions to maximize your time and milk output while you pump. While pumping, gently compress for 10-15 seconds, rotate your hands and gently compress again.
We recommend:
If you’re using nipple creams, we encourage you to use breast pads to protect your bra from oil stains. Oil based products, such as nipple creams and even breast milk have the potential to seep into clothing. We carry our breast pads in a 4-pack and as a 6-pack if you want to stock up.
