Ladies - best nursing bra?

geordie_lass_2

I'm a bit out of the loop with breastfeeding as my babies are all grown up now, however...I found the zipped cup bras to be the most supportive, the zip acted as a light underwire, the drop cup bras were worse than useless as the weight of the breasts seemed to be held only by the shoulder straps, plus they soon fell to pieces.Not keen on bras that only expose the nipple area, personally I think you need to expose the whole breast to feed properly and to allow the breast to empty correctly, also for baby to get lots of skin contact etc. Breasts need to be in their natural bra-less position when feeding rather than being held "out front".Most important is to get a really good fit so I would advise that you wait until baby is born before you invest a lot of money, and go to a specialist bra fitter to get properly measured and advised. If you have a Sadie The Bra Lady shop nearby then IMO they are the best.

Not skin coloured. They are very comfortable and I am still wearing them 1 year on after breast feeding!!

Someone else mentioned about the Freya bras. I second that. These have been the best. The marks and spencer are cheap and not that supportive.

The best thing is to go into a shop like blooming marvellous who do a good range of nursing bras and try different ones on. (Even if you don't purchase there and buy online for a cheaper deal)
