Can wearing a sports bra decrease supply?

I have worn a sports bra since Kai was born.  My supply is good, but not milk cow great.  Is it true that wearing a sports bra will decrease your supply?  I find them much comfier than a regular bra and I can't not wear anything because my nips are still sore.

I've heard that a lot of people wear a tight sports bra when they're trying to dry up.

Though I'm obviously not an expert or anything I figure as long as you're not wearing bras that are super-tight you're fine.

Yes.  My doctor told me to wear a tight sports bra when I finished breast feeding to help with the drying up process.

I mean mine aren't super tight.  They are a large which is two sizes bigger than what I wore pre-pg.  But maybe I will just wear the sports bras at night for comfort and try to get used to wearing the nursing bras during the day.

anything that binds tight can be an issue.

for night, I wear the nursing bras like this:

This might work (I wear them during the day sometimes too

 

I find the nursing tanks supportive w/o being to tight, myself.
