Can you rec your nursing bra? I am in the market for one that is comfortable but also gives me some support.

TIA!

Not exactly what you want to hear, but I would wait to purchase anything until after your milk comes in (at least anything with a specific cup size). During the first few weeks I lived in my nursing tanks from Target; I love them and still wear them to bed nightly. When shopping for a bra make sure you can snap and unsnap the flap one-handed.

Ditto all of this. I LOVE my nursing tanks and still live in them whenever I am at home!

Exactly this.... As soon as I get home I put on the tank-- or my sleep bra. As far as nursing bras, though- I'm currently wearing ones I got at Motherhood Maternity. Not sure brand, and I can't say I LOOOOVE them. I want to get some nicer more supportive ones.... and haven't found it in me to pay $50 yet (for one that I saw recommended on here previously)

Thanks.

I have some leftover from when I had DD, but they SUCK in terms of support. I'm getting a couple nursing tanks (if I don't go into labor while I'm at work, I'll probably wear one to the hospital), but I really need something for when I go back to work.

I found a couple on figleaves.com, but they're $53 and I don't know that I can bring myself to pay that until I know my supply is good for a while (I dried up at 6mos with DD).

I'm planning on pumping exclusively so ease of undoing the flaps isn't that important to me.

I have a couple, but my faves are Bravado. I have some from Motherhood and they just don't give me very good support. I can't remember the $.

My favorite is from the nursing collection at Target, I think the brand is "Gillian O'Malley?" or something like that. I prefer the cotton ones with underwire, and they are usually only about $12 to $15.

MrsSmith81 · July 2009

I'd spring for some bravados. I bought one this time around and got some other cheapies from target but those didn't give a great look or support and broke down quickly from being worn/washed so much. my bravado gave the look of an underwire bra which i loved and held up great. i'll be skipping the cheapies next time around and purchasing more of those. they are worth every penny.

I'd also wait until after you've had the baby. When you are on your way out of the hospital, go to the boutique and get a Bravado Original. Then a few weeks later (4-6 weeks) go again and try different brands and sizes. I ended up with Bravado Microfiber and LOVE it. But from what I understand you either love Bravado and hate Medela or the other way around. I'm in the first category. However, I recommended that Bravado Original to another new mom and she also loved it. I would live in that bra for the first month. I would live in it now if it was a little sleeker under clothes,

If you want one just until you figure out your milk supply/actual size, I got a Bestform one at Walmart that I really like, and it was only $10-12.

JessMike07 · July 2009

I've tried them all...Target, Motherhood, Medela, Bravado.....

Target and Medela are great for sleep bras IMO.

Bravado makes the best supportive bra (especially if you are a busty girl). I would skip the original and go for the $50 ones!! They have great cami's as well. Breakoutbras.com is the cheapest I've found them.

LOVE LOVE LOVE my bravado body silk nursing bras. I found that the tanks were not supportive enough for me at the beginning. (I am a 38Dnormally). The body silk bras are stretchy - they come in S-XXL and so it doesn't really matter what size you are because they stretch so much. They are wireless(that's not the right term is it?) and so they were comfortable enough to wear at night too. LOVE them.

They are expensive though ~ but totally worth it.
