What Nursing Bra to Wear?

If you're planning on breastfeeding your child you'll need to think about purchasing some nursing bras. Gone are the days when maternity bras were cumbersome and unflattering. You can now buy comfortable, easy to use and elegent nursing bras from companies such as, Bravado, Medela, Playtex, Elle Macpherson, Goddess and others. Here are some guidelines to help you choose the best nursing bra to make breastfeeding your baby as enjoyable as possible.
There are five main types of nursing bra you can buy. Which one you choose will be down to personal preference. The maternity bras listed below all have different ways of allowing a mother to breastfeed her child. So before you buy take a read and decide which type would be more convenient for you.
Like some conventional bras, one type of breastfeeding bra fastens between the cups at the front. This type is easy to open but perhaps a little to indiscreet for some mother.
Another type of nursing bra consists of zips, which sit under each cup. The advantage with this bra is that it quite discreet and easy to open and close. The zip-line can show through if the mother is wearing a tight fitting top.
The third type has a fastening (or small button) on the shoulder strap just above the cup, which can easily be unfastened to allow the cup down. Ensure you buy one that exposes the whole of the breast and not just the nipple, because the bra fabric left pressing on the breast may cause the blocked milk ducts. Again, the primary advantage of this maternity bra is ease of use.
You can buy breastfeeding bras made from a stretchy material. This is simple to use; you just pull the cup over the breast.
Finally, nighttime nursing bras are usually lighter in weight so as to make sleeping more comfortable. Instead of the usual ways of opening for feeding, this type of maternity bra might have a crossover front design so you can just slip your breast out.
Don't purchase your maternity bra too early in your pregnancy. Buy during the last month, as your breasts will be nearing their full size prior to breastfeeding your baby.
Buy as many nursing bras as you can afford and also the best quality you can afford. You don't necessarily need one for each day of the week but remember that you will be producing a lot of milk and will suffer from leaky breasts, so you will need to wash your maternity bras frequently.
It is important to buy the best quality you can afford. The main things to look out for are: cotton bras, as they will help keep you nipple cool and dry; good, wide straps that are going to give you lots of support, your breasts are going to enlarge and get a lot heaver so support is vital; test the fastening of the nursing bra making sure that it unfastens and refastens easily; the fastenings should not dig into you; Above all, make sure the bra is a good fit. Not only does a bad fitting maternity bra feel uncomfortable and not provide support, it may even interfere with milk production.
What follows is a quick review of nursing bras from popular brands. All the nursing bras reviewed are popular and rate higly in many consumer reviews.
Bravado nursing bras are extremely popular. Bravado maternity bras come in one of 3 ranges: the Bravado Original Nursing Bra, the Bravado Supreme Nursing Bra, and the Bravado Lifestyle Nursing Bra. The Original Nursing bra comes in 3 styles: Basic, Plus Style and Double Plus Style. Choosing which one suits you depends on whether you're expecting, have just given birth or have been breastfeeding for a while. If you're a new mother, then the Bravado Original Nursing Bra is the one for you. All bras are made from a super-soft cotton/spandex blend fabric, for maximum support and changing body shape. The Bravado Supreme Nursing Bra is for the fuller-breasted woman. Unlike other fuller-breasted bras the Supreme isn't under-wired but still holds its shape all day long. The bra also has a delicately embossed fabric, which is strong yet silky to the touch - clothing glides over it making breastfeeding very easy. The Bravado Lifestyle Nursing Bra is a very chic - dare I say sexy - bra with a low neckline, molded cups that give an incredibly smooth, seamless shape that is very flattering under tops and dresses. The neckline and strap have a very feminine lace edge and the nursing flaps open for full access for breastfeeding.
