Breastfeeding is a natural and healthy way to nourish and bond with a newborn child. You and your baby deserve the best. That's why it is wise to invest in a good nursing bra; it can make a whole lot of difference for both of you.
How to Tell if My Nursing Bra Fits Well?
A good nursing bra provides comfort and support, making breastfeeding sessions easier. It also helps to maintain proper breast shape and reduce back pain, helping you feel comfortable during your baby feeding times.
Wearing a bra that is too tight is harmful, especially for pregnant and nursing women, as during these times, breasts are more sensitive and can swell due to hormonal changes. If it's uncomfortable, you need to find a better one. A bra that does not fit well can cause a myriad of issues for a new mother, including restricted milk flow and even blocked milk ducts!
Do not risk your or your child's well-being by wearing ill-fitting maternity wear. Consider purchasing a high-quality maternity bra to ensure your health and comfort.
What Should I Look For in a Nursing Bra?
Your comfort is key. Soft, breathable materials like cotton or bamboo are gentle on your skin and help prevent irritation on the already sensitive breast. A stretchy fabric is a good choice, as it will accommodate changes in breast size throughout the day.
Of course, the convenience of easy-to-open cups is not to be underestimated. Ones that can be unbuttoned with one hand are particularly helpful when you need to quickly and discreetly nurse your baby.
The cup size should be spacious enough to allow for easy access for breastfeeding or pumping, so keep that in mind before you order your nursing bra. Choose bras that have molded cups or detachable pads to minimize the risk of a leak as well!
Maternity Bras: How To Choose Your Size?
As your breasts will change throughout pregnancy and breastfeeding, choosing a bra that allows for flexibility in sizing is important. Adjustable straps and bands are a must-have!
A customizable fit is great, but you still need to know your actual size to start with. To determine your size, it's recommended to either measure yourself at home or visit a professional brafitter. If you choose to do that on your own for no cost, there are only a few easy steps to follow:
- First, wrap a measuring tape snugly around your ribcage, just below your breasts.
- Then, wrap the tape around the fullest part of your breasts to measure it.
- Subtract the band size from your bust size measurement to determine your cup size.
Remember that different brands may differ in sizing, so always consult the size chart or ask customer service for fit advice if unsure.
Don't be afraid to explore online options. Whether you're in Canada, the United States, or somewhere in Europe, there are plenty of retailers that have a wide range of maternity and nursing underwear for you to buy for a fair price.
