Nursing Bras

After your baby is born, nursing bras become a necessity. A good nursing bra makes breastfeeding your child easy and discreet. I have only tried Bravado and Medela nursing bras, I stopped after falling in love with a Bravado nursing bra (the Supreme Nursing Bra featured to the right). Here are some important considerations to remember when you are buying a nursing bra:

Wait until the final weeks of your pregnancy to purchase your nursing bras. Don't try to purchase a nursing bra with room to grow. You will end up with a bra that fits you poorly and gives you many problems even pain

Look for a bra with easy access to the breast so that you baby can easily latch on.

Look for a bra with one-hand cup openings so that you can start your breastfeeding with even when you are holding your baby.

Look for a bra with wide, cushioned straps as they will make wearing a bra more comfortable by better distributing the weight of your breasts.

Look for a 100% Cotton bra with a lining in the cup. This allows for maximum airflow to the nipples and breast.

Make sure that the bra fits you well on the tightest hook setting. This way when your bra stretches with wear you can fasten it tighter if needed.

Some popular manufacturers of nursing bras are Medela, Bravado, Leading Lady, and Japanese Weekend
