Nursing Bra input?

LizWit · 11-05-2008, 12:58 PM

I am wanting to get some new nursing bras. I have been washing the two I have everyday so I think getting a few more is a good idea. The ones I have are from motherhood maternity and they are okay. The sleep bra that i got is good but the underwire one is kind of flimsy. I think I need more support in a bra that what they have to offer. What other brands are good? I don't want to waste money and am willing to spend more if the bra is very well made.

I found that the Medela sleeping and full support bras work very well for me and my girls (40E's

). I can unclip them with one hand. To clip them up I need two. I too have nursing bras from Motherhood, and I don't like them nearly as much. They are what I wear when I'm doing laundry. The SHARP hospitals in San Diego sell them. You can walk up to the maternity ward during the day and ask to buy from lactation.

My dilemma: Any one know of a decent nursing sports bra?

Thanks for your input Leyna. I will definitely check out the Medela bras. I was looking at Bravado as well. They have some cute ones but they don't look like underwire and I really need underwire.

The Medela bra's are also recommended by the midwifes here in Germany.

Regarding underwire nursing bras, here in Germany they strongly advise against them, they can cause all sorts of duct blockages, inflammations, etc.

I bought mine from Bravado Designs (bravadodesigns.com) and I love them. Sooooo comfy.

I agree - Bravado bras are very good

I am interested in a "hands Free" nursing bra- one that you can use to make any model Medela pump become hands free. I am considering Simple Wishes, Easy Expressions or Pump Ease brands I found on-line. Anyone tried any of these or have a different brand they like? I don't mind if it isn't really a bra you'd wear all day, just want something I can put on at work so I can go type emails while I pump.
Thanks!

I've got a pretty small chest, so my favorite nursing item was my nursing tanks. I wore them under EVERYTHING for the first year. No tummy exposure, and makes the perfect Mommy Uniform at home (jeans, nursing tank, zip up sweatshirt). I think there are some nursing tanks out there with more support, too.

I was able to use my sleep nursing bra from Target as a hands-free pumping bra!
