    Question How long before going back after baby, breastfeeding

    Hey guys, long time no see!

    I had my second baby girl a month ago and am building myself back up for going back. I've searched the forum about the dancing while breastfeeding issue and wanted to verify some things:

    1) The posts say after 2 months, managing letdown is easier? So is two months a good mark of when to go back?

    2) This isn't really a clearing up anything, but do you breastfeeding and dancing moms feel dumb in the locker room with your pump wuh wuhing away? I'm already blushing just thinking about it.

    3) Stretch marks, should I just leave them or bother with body makeup? What's the best body makeup? I work (hopefully still work) at a pretty ritzy place.
    Yes, I'm real.

    nobody replied?

    after my 1st baby i went back after 6 weeks. it was a nightmare, i was spraying all over the place. wadded pieces of tissue falling out of my dress. whats great is even in a brightly lit room drunk guys surrounded by strippers barely notice anything is amiss, even if you're like, holding onto your boobs and dripping milk down your arms while talking to them. haha. uh. i wouldn't go through that again though...a nightmare.

    pumping in the dressing room sucked, i lost a lot of money and it made the milk come even more later in the night. then my boobs gave up on the hand-pump entirely, i learned to express manually into the sink...you're supposed to save the milk or whatever but the bartender gave me such hell when i gave him a bottle i decided fuck it, and learned how to do a few quick-sprays in the sink before going onstage/lapdance. all in all, horrible. i would wait until your boobs are adjusted and train yourself/your daughter to not feed so much at night?

    also, breastmilk glows like alien fluid under certain lights.

    can't beleive no one answered this question! it is totally legit...

    also re stretchmarks.... i think body makeup only works for certain woman with certain types of stretchmarks. it takes a lot of time to get it right and no matter what you do it rubs off everywhere, i always avoid contact with females who wear body makeup because it fucking ruins my clothes and gets on my pale skin making it look like i'm sloppy. i would avoid, and use an outfit/other device to cover up parts you worry about.

    You need to pump on schedule so you don't spray.

    I'm so glad this was posted! I'm planning on breastfeeding for a year and my little one is only one month old and my letdown is crazy. I was worried about leaking while on cam but hopefully pumping before work will help.

    I went back to work when my my daughter started eating solids, around 8 months. By then she was on a nursing schedule and i didnt engorge any more. When the baby gets used to you not be around at certain times your body will start producing less! I still pump.. my boobs look so perfect everyone thinks there fake!

    Wow, you ladies are lucky - when I was breatfeeding my boobs looked so weird. And the left one was bigger than the right!

    Congrats on your new baby and getting back to work!

    Just wanted to post an update. I did go back to work and guys can't get enough of my boobs! I'm not used to guys giving me boob attention, lol. The mom was cool about helping me find a quiet place to pump. I only had to pump once and was able to squeeze it in while a custy was waiting for me. (it was a really busy night, I didn't have any time to myself)

    Of course despite the fact that the customers loved me and I'm a clean long time dancer at the club, a manager decided out of the blue that I wasn't fit enough to work there so now I'm at home shopping for a new club. grr
    Yes, I'm real.
