Too late to buy new nursing bras??

My nursing bras are becoming very tatty but im not sure if its worth buying new ones and whether im likely to stay this size for the rest of my bfing. DD is 6 months now so will be reducing her feeding as she is weaned...is this likely to reduce my bust size? I plan to feed for at least another 6 months and cant bear to think i'll be wearing these tatty things all that time. But i dont want to buy them only to change size because of weaning and therefore wasting money...i havent got much!!

Shh, but you don't have to wear nursing bras all the time you're bfing! I was in normal underwireds from about 10 months (when DS was feeding much less during the day) and wished I'd gone back to them earlier. Horrible things.

If you aren't leaking much or feeding all the time, no need for nursing bras IMO . I just hoiked the cup down rather than unclipping it IYSWIM.

I fed ds2 past this point and eventually went back into normal bras (underwired) but would occasionally wear nursing ones if planning on feeding in public.

Had to buy different size to pre-pregnancy size though.

around 9 months my norks suddenly deflated (honestly they looked like balloons 5 days after a party - all floppy + wrinkly). Went back into normal bras then
