Choosing A Nursing Bra

March 1, 2007 By Stephanie

Choosing A Nursing Bra 1It’s best to wait and shop for nursing bras until the third trimester, preferably in the final month before labor & delivery. At that time, you should plan to purchase 2-3 comfortable bras in order to be prepared for the days and weeks after labor.

Keep the following tips in mind as you shop:
1. Don’t buy a bra with underwire. Underwire is uncomfortable – it pokes and prods in all the wrong places. If you are concerned about finding a bra that has support, you can rest your mind at ease. There are plenty of seamless, stretchy bras out there that also have adequate support.
2. Go for comfort. Yes, feel free to let the well-meaning sales associate size you, but don’t feel obligated to buy the size they recommend. Buy the bra that feels right to you – regardless of size.

I’ve attached a photo of my favorite maternity bra to this blog. It’s from Kohl’s: the Oh Baby! by Motherhood Seamless Nursing Bra. (If only they sold it in black, I’d be oh-so-happy.)

    I’ve been using 2 maternity bras by Triumph for nearly a year now… They are really good quality, and still hold their shape after numerous machine washes in hot water. I have written up a piece on maternity bras on my web site, http://www.smallshoppingworld.com. I hope it will be useful!

    For a really comfortable nursing bra, I like Bella Materna. I’ve used them before and you can wear them after nursing too!

    TummyStyle.com seems to have the lowest price.
