Nursing Bras: Things You Must Know

• You should buy your first nursing bra 4-5 months into your pregnancy.

• Nursing moms will need a minimum of 3 bras: one to wash, one to wear, and one to have ready.

• Look for a bra that provides easy, one-handed access with lots of support.

• The band should fit on the last hook when you buy. This is because your rib cage will decrease in size after birth and you will be able to adjust the band tighter as needed.

• A nursing bra that fits properly will not cause “pinching” under the arm or between the breasts and will not “ride up” in the back or put tension on the shoulders.

• While nursing, your breasts are constantly changing as they fill with milk and shrink after feeding. Look for a bra with at least 5% spandex to allow for these changes.

• Women who breastfeed often need a nursing pad in their bra to prevent leaking. Be generous when selecting your size to allow room for nursing pads. • A sleep bra is essential! Sleep bras help reduce back pain and help maintain a natural lift both during and after pregnancy. Our Sleep Bra is a soft cup, pull-on style. The wrap design allows for easy nursing, and no nursing clips ensure total comfort while sleeping.
