CHOOSING A GOOD NURSING BRA

When it comes to choosing a nursing bra, a lot of the same wisdom you use to choose a well-fitting, supportive conventional bra applies. The ingredients for success are:

A wide band – In any properly-constructed, supportive bra that you wear, a band is going to be providing you with 70-90% of the support your breasts need. Look for a wide band, with 4+ hooks ideally, depending on your size. Make sure the band is parallel to ground when you put it on, and that it fits snugly, but does not constrict.

Wide shoulder straps – The other 10-30% of your support is going to come from your bra straps. Straps should be wide, in order to comfortably distribute the weight of your breasts over a bigger area, and avoid any possibility of digging. Comfort is key here, and soft, padded material is also something to look for when assessing a nursing bra.

You will have a lot on your plate to have to be worrying about your straps falling down, so make sure that they sit well on your shoulders and don’t slip when you move around.

Easy to open cups – Whichever style you choose, whether it’s a bra with a front panel that buttons, or a looser-structure bra that allows you to slip your breast out from the side, make sure that they are easy for you to open. You most likely won’t always have two free hands when you need to nurse, so make sure they can be easily opened with one hand. When the cups are closed, they shouldn’t feel constricting in any way.

Flexibility – This is more important during the early days of nursing when your breasts are going up and down in size as your body tries to figure out how much milk it needs to produce for your baby. You’ll want stretchy fabric that has enough give to accommodate fluctuations.

The tricky part here is, while you want flexibility in the cups and a bit of give in the band, you also need to make sure the bra is supportive.
