7 Things No One Will Tell You About Nursing Bras
More and more women are recognizing the importance of investing in nursing bras after childbirth. But there are some lesser-known facts about nursing bras that probably no one is telling you. Even in Singapore, there seems to be some confusion and lack of clarity over breastfeeding bras.
So, without further ado, here are the 7 things about nursing bras that nobody is telling you.
You should start wearing a nursing bra even before you give birth.
Most women are under the impression that nursing bras are only for wearing once you give birth and start nursing. However, to accommodate the changes in the size and shape of the breasts, you should start wearing them during pregnancy. After completing 4 months of pregnancy, you can get yourself fitted for a nursing bra.
You should consider the fabric of the nursing bra carefully.
You will be wearing a nursing bra through most of your pregnancy and beyond as you start feeding your little one. Since you will be spending so much time wearing them, it is very important that the fabric used in the bra is gentle and comfortable. If you are wearing a nursing bra in the humid weather of Singapore, breathable fabric is ideal.
A nursing bra should provide more
support than a regular bra.
A nursing bra is not just a bra that can be used to quickly expose the breast and feed a hungry baby. A good breastfeeding bra is also designed to provide good support to the breasts. Breasts become heavier during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Hence, they need more support which a good breastfeeding bra can provide.
You need at least 3 nursing bras.
Women often get confused over how many nursing bras they need. You should have at the very least, three nursing bras. One for wearing, one for the washing, and one extra, just in case.
Sports Nursing Bras actually exist!
Nursing bras provide great support. But is the support enough during exercise? For mummies who lead an active life during their breastfeeding journey, a sports bra that combines the features of nursing bras is ideal. A breastfeeding sports bra will give you great support during yoga, walking, jogging, etc. A sports nursing bra will also wick away sweat and keep you dry even in Singapore weather.
There are sleep nursing bras, too!
If you don’t like the feel of a bra when you sleep at night, it’s probably because you haven’t been introduced to sleep nursing bras. These are lightweight bras with soft, breathable fabric that’s so gentle against your skin, you would forget you are even wearing a bra. And they make breastfeeding through the night a breeze with quick and easy nursing access.
