Breastfeeding bra for sleep

Not sure if this has been covered in other posts but wanted to pass on my new find. The thought of sleeping in a bra was filling me with dread as they're so uncomfortable. I had been sticking breast pads to the inside of a vest top but as you can imagine things move around when you lie down (!!) so not the ideal solution.

I found the Carriwell bras from the Nursing Bra Shop which are seamless and really comfortable to sleep in. The whole cup drops down exposing the whole breast which the little one likes.

Looking forward to trying their other breastfeeding bras as they seem to be less expensive than John Lewis etc... and more attractive.

I second the Cariwell organic cotton bra, especially for the early days of engorgement. My only complaint is that it's not the smoothest fit under clothes, but that probably varies by boob shape.

Even better for me is the Bravado Original Nursing Bra - breathable cotton, seamless cup that fit me better than the Cariwell bra even when my supply settled down, full cup drop for feeding, and it doesn't shift around when I'm sleeping. As an added bonus, it's also much lower cut in front than most nursing bras, so I'm wearing it under a low-cut breastfeeding dress at a wedding next week Grin

Great that u have found a comfortable breastfeeding bra to sleep in, I actually used cheap sports bra types (not racer back tho) - comfortable enough to sleep in and stretchy enough to give support and access. A god send to my back!
