What to Look For Before You Buy
- One-handed drop-down clips matter more than any other feature when you are holding a baby.
- Wire-free cups reduce the risk of blocked ducts and mastitis from localised pressure.
- Stretch cups accommodate the size swing between a full and an emptied breast.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many nursing bras do I need?
Three is the practical minimum — one on, one in the wash, one drying. Add a soft sleep bra if you leak overnight.
When should I buy nursing bras?
Around week 36 of pregnancy. Buying earlier risks the wrong size, buying later risks not having them when milk comes in.
Can nursing bras have underwire?
Underwire is best avoided in the first three months. If you do wear one later, it must be professionally fitted to avoid pressing on milk ducts.
