I remember reading while pregnant that wearing an underwire bra can interfere with milk production. Is this just true during pregnancy or also when simply EBF? Basically, I'm missing my underwire bras and I want to hear that it's ok to go buy underwire nursing bras, because I need them.
TIA!
Re: Nursing bra question
I was told by my public health nurse to avoid using them, but especially in the beginning when your supply is regulating. The woman who did my bra fitting said 10 weeks postpartum. I used a bravado allure with underwire (they have a bigger, round underwire that they claim is better) through my pregnancy because it was comfortable and really adjustable. About 8 weeks postpartum I started wearing it again for going out. Now I wear underwire during the day if Im out, but never at night. Also, some underwire bras are worse than other for blocking ducts so read reviews.
If you're worried about underwire and want the same lift, bravado bliss looks and feels like underwire but its actually just some amazing type of seam they use. I'm sure other people could suggest other brands that do the same.
I was thinking of going over to Soma. Has anyone tried their nursing bras?
