High impact running bra for breastfeeding mum

6 replies

Kazgriki · 14/11/2020 17:06

My daughter had her first baby about 6 weeks ago and has asked me to buy her for Christmas a high impact running bra that will also allow her to breastfeed, so that she can return to running in a few weeks time. She says she is a size 30DD. I have tried googling but have not found a bra that ticks the boxes: high impact/support + allows easy breastfeeding + size 30DD. Can anyone recommend a brand? Thanks!

You could try the Circuit bra from sweaty Betty - I haven’t tried it, but it has a zip front so would probably work for feeding. On a separate note I would strongly recommend she sees a women’s health specific physio for a pelvic floor assessment before she starts back (perhaps a voucher for one might be a good accompanying present!) - I speak from bitter personal experience lol.

Latched do a breastfeeding sports bra with clip down cups that's pretty supportive. Agree with a pp about the pelvic floor stuff, recent research suggests that you shouldn't run until at least 12 weeks post partum anyway.

I stuck to good old shock absorber sports bras when I was breast feeding, just went up back and cup sizes. I have managed to breastfeed whilst wearing one as I unclipped the lower clasp and just pulled it up over my breast, not the easiest but dc was hungry and wouldn't wait!

Many thanks for all your responses - very informative.

Try 'Natal active' nursing sports bras.
Small business, really nice quality, great with returns/exchanges and nice colours too.
