Nursing bras

For many woman, shopping for a bra is more of a hassle than a treat: unfortunately, the same can usually be said about shopping for a nursing bra. In fact, many women find it even more difficult to shop for a nursing bra than any other bra. However, with a little help and advice, shopping for a nursing bra can be fun:

· Underwire? – If you are not used to underwire bras, don’t wear one. However, if you prefer or need the extra support that an underwire nursing bra gives, get one. Just make sure that the bra is very comfortable, and you do not want the underwire to be too tight – it could cut down on your milk production.
· Access – There are types of nursing bras out there: ones with flaps and ones that are pulled aside to expose the breast. The latter are not quite as supportive, but generally less expensive. If you buy a bra with flaps, be sure that it is very easy to unlatch and relatch the clasps… with one hand. You are likely going to be holding your hungry baby, and frustration can ensue if your bra is difficult to open up.
· Measurement – When the store representative asked you if you want to be measured, go ahead and say “yes.” After all, your body has changed a lot. You are not likely wearing the same size bra that you used to!
· Adjustability – Your bra size may change – therefore, it is a great idea to get a nursing bra that allows for change. It may have very adjustable straps and closures as well as flaps that can be adjusted to fit larger breasts.
· Sleeping – It is ok to sleep in your bra (and many women find it comfortable to do so). But you do not want to sleep in your underwire bra.
· More than one – You are going to want more than one bra. Trust us on this!
· Style – More manufacturers are making more stylish nursing bras – go ahead and get one. It will feel great to put on a leopard print bra before going out on that date!

So, go out there and find yourself a nursing bra that you love. And if you can’t find one that you love, at least find one that is comfortable and easy to use. The best time to shop for a breastfeeding bra is during the last stages of your pregnancy.
