<br />I’m sure you have seen these odd stays show up in Pinterest
or Google searches.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are identified
as breastfeeding stays by most museums.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But there has been some debate on the accuracy of that description.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On various Facebook communities, I have seen
people passionately debate the true purpose of these mysterious stays.</div>

People have doubted that the stays are truly for nursing
because of the location of the openings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They appear too small and too low to be functional.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The bright colors and fancy silks also seem
impractical for breastfeeding, which can get rather messy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="text-align: center;">Unfortunately, there are no written or illustrated examples
of these stays in use for either nursing or other purposes. At least, none that we have found. So we are
left to speculate. </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Most of the arguments against these being
breastfeeding stays are based on the idea that they could not be functional. Since I was home on maternity leave, I
decided to test them myself.</div>

For my experiment, I sacrificed an old pair of stays. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
A few thing of note:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I found myself lacing the stays much looser than I had
before I was lactating.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The breast
change size as they fill with milk and empty.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Tight pressure on them is uncomfortable and can cause clogged ducts or
even infection.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It also gives more room
to adjust and move the breast around.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Because of this, my breasts were at their natural position, and not
pushed up like they would be with normal snug lacing. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9d7WZfAIX0BCzeVJzkxVLfSKO0I5lWhCjUeukRO4nObKeJz8VvtPR0oX1xCu2p9xg4H57KqjXph3ItxzycsnuSwsxbNjilp4d_f9IFFT-AvD8jk6woZTYFWIajTW1EQURT-SmBqRARvM/s1600/IMG_3655.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9d7WZfAIX0BCzeVJzkxVLfSKO0I5lWhCjUeukRO4nObKeJz8VvtPR0oX1xCu2p9xg4H57KqjXph3ItxzycsnuSwsxbNjilp4d_f9IFFT-AvD8jk6woZTYFWIajTW1EQURT-SmBqRARvM/s320/IMG_3655.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Also, I found it a bit difficult to get the nipple up high
enough to comfortably nurse.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When
properly laced, the nipple is just under the top edge of the stays and pushed
up a bit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pulling it up more, so that
enough of the nipple was available for the baby to latch was rather
uncomfortable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> And wiggling the stays down over the hips required loosening them quite a bit.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
And finally, because of the smooth shape of the stays and
the extra height of my breasts, it was hard to hold the baby high enough for
him to feed. He needed to be higher than where my arms natural held him. And
because the stays were smooth and straight, he kept sliding down!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Next was to alter the stays.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The extant stays have opening in all different sizes, I assume to accommodate
different sized bodies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

with a pencil where my opening needed to be and cut them out on three sides and

Yes, rather easily! Because
they were at the natural level, I could hold the baby as I normally do in, my bent arm, and he
could comfortably feed. He was able to
latch on well and I didn’t have any trouble moving around the stays. I found them much more practical than the “up
and over” way.</div>

Final thoughts:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was pleasantly surprised by how well these worked for
nursing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So much easier then feeding
with normal stays.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> There is no loosening and tightening of the stays, and it's a much more natural position for feeding. </span>I’m surprised that
they were not more common outside of Spain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can
understand that it is more economical to just use regular stays rather than
specific ones just for nursing, but women were pregnant so often, it could be worth the investment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">Most of the survivors appear to be lightle used and made of more expensive fabrics. But this could be a case of "survivor bias" The working class ones didn't survive.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
All of the extant stays I have found are Spanish.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Spain</st1:place></st1:country-region> was not a leader of fashion
at the time, it’s possible that the trend never spread much further. And other
then the flaps, the stays look very typical of other Spanish styles of the
time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The bright colors and floral
brocades are very common.</div>
