I'm 3 months postpartum

A MOM who is three months postpartum has taken to social media to share her

A MOM who is three months postpartum has taken to social media to share her struggle with her tops no longer fitting.

She posed a question to other mothers about how they manage to go out into the world sans a bra, or if there's a particular type she should be wearing.

"Okay, so I'm three months postpartum and feeling great, doing great," Grace (@ahotmomliveshere) began in a TikTok video.

"The only problem is that you know, it's starting to get warmer out.

"Enjoying my time outside, and none of my tops are fitting.

Referring to the top she was wearing she said: "Okay this is stretchy, so it's fitting now.

"But my other tops that I had pre-pregnancy. You know I walked around no bra, kind of on the smaller side.

"And, I was just free. I was living my life, I was free. And, now that I've had a baby and I' breastfeeding, the tatas are tataing.

"So I guess my question for moms is, what are you doing?

"Are there strapless nursing bras?

"Are we walking around free still? But then like we're leaking. So how is this problem being solved?

"And if you're gatekeeping that's rude, because I need to know."

Some moms gave her advice in the comments section of the clip.

"I never wore a bra, had two kids eleven months apart. Now I wear one, still, no sag, super lucky, finding a comfy one is a journey," one person wrote.

"Just let em be free, I put the nursing pads on the inside of my shirt just in case," a second person said.

"I truthfully walk around with nothing, maybe a sports bra when needed for the outfit," a third added.

"Ten months now and hardly leaked after four and a half months. I do block boob feedings and that helps the leakages," a final person said.
