07 Expert Tips on Maternity and Nursing Bras

Do you know what the first and important step is in your nursing journey? All of you might come with different answers to this question. But, in actual, the first step should be to find comfortablebras during pregnancy or post-pregnancy.

Selecting the best bra is never difficult. With a few tips and suggestions, you can find the best fitting bra for yourself. A woman must have a functional and comfortable nursing bra in her wardrobe if she is expecting sooner. To make buying easier, below are some tips which you can consider while buying a maternity bra.

1.     Comfort

Well, comfort is the priority when looking for a non-padded or paddednursing bra. Opt for the bras which are stretchable as this feature makes your breast feel comfortable during the entire phase of nursing. Check for the fabric and leakage control during day or night time.

2.     Easy convenience

As a mother, you need to be single-handed because with one hand you would be holding your baby all day long. So, watch for the bras which can undo with one hand. Here, bras with drop-down cups and nursing clips are admired the most. Such bras are designed by considering breast support and coverage. In addition to this, straps with adjustable sliders are also found to be convenient.

 

3.     Cups are game-changer

Some women mistakenly opt for bras that provide too much extra room, but that doesn't compliment them well. So, the best bra for breastfeeding moms is the one that provides a snug fit. Bra cups must be lined with cotton to absorb moisture and to make it breathable. If a bra is non-breathable, then it can invite bacteria and trap moisture.

4.     Wire-free bra

A bra with an underwire can inhibit blood flow, hamper milk production, and leads to the clogged duct. So, it is better to avoid underwire bras and opt for wire-free support bras.

5.     Consider your lifestyle

If you have an active lifestyle, then it is better to add nursing sports bras or maternitycotton sleep bra as these come with extra features like breathable mesh cups and soft material to provide support through your workout session and to make you relax while sleeping.

6.     Multiple hooks

While choosing a maternity bra, choose a bra with multiple numbers of hooks at the back. This is to adjust the size of the bra at different stages of maternity. When you need to lose your bra, then you can hook to the nearest and the last if you want to tighten your bra. Multiple hooks allow enough room for your breasts.

 

7.     Laundering tips

It is an undeniable fact that while breastfeeding, bras tend to get dirty more often, so having spare bras are an added advantage. Always wash with care; use either cold or gentle water to wash and hang to dry.

With all the above tips, you can find the perfect size maternity bra for yourself during the journey of motherhood. Wear special and comfortable in your special phase of life.
