Best nursing bras for sleeping

10 replies

Hi Ladies,

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good nursing bra suitable for sleeping in?

I would like something soft that I can wear during the day while waiting for my milk to come in and boobs are adjusting to their new size that then can continue to be worn in bed for night feeds.

I am small breasted - usually A/B going up to about a C while b-fing last time round, so it doesn't need to be too supportive, just enough to hold in the breast pads!

I had Emma Jane Next Gen ones last time, but found that they stretched too much around the ribs within a few washes and the straps were too wide to stay on your shoulders, so would prefer not to go for these again.

Thanks.

I wear these crop top style sleep bras from mothercare. I've found that they're comfy and wash up well.

Hope this helps (and that the link works!)

Thanks Winter. I have just been looking at these ones. Are they supportive enough to hold breast pads in place?

Yes, I didn't have any problems with breast pads moving. I only use these bras for sleeping though, not supportive enough for me in the day Blush

I like these, they come in s/m/l so easy to fit: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B004I49D7U/ref=pd_aw_sims_1?pi=SL500_SY115

I like the look of these ones LittleBall, but was hoping for something a bit cheaper as I will still need to buy a few good ones for day time too. They do look really good though so I might just have to hang the expense again!.

My comfiest one to sleep in was an Elle Macpherson one that felt kind of lycraishy. Was very nice and comfy feeling and easy snaps for feeding too

Another massive vote for the Bravado bras. By far the most comfortable non wired bras I've tried in three rounds of BFing.

I tend to wear the bravado ones for daytime too, they are so comfy :) john lewis sell them I think so you could try them first.

Not bras, but the H&M nursing vests are really comfy and have shelf support.

Another fan of Bravado bras and H&M nursing vests. The bras are great for daytime wear too.
