When to buy a new smaller nursing bra? When do your boobs settle down?

Hi advice please...

ds2 is 2 weeks old and the expensive nursing bra I got fitted for the week I gave birth is too small!

It's still quite comfortable but giving no support or proper uplift - feel all droopy and my tops look awful.

So my question is when would you go and buy a new bra, do I wait another couple of weeks and see if they get smaller?

Many tia!

If it's not giving you proper support, is it definitely too small, and not too big? Sorry if that's an insulting question, but just a thought. Perhaps whoever fitted it for you could see if it just needs a bit of adjustment?

I'm sure lots of people have different experiences, but I know I didn't 'settle' into less extremes of size when full/drained until 6-8 weeks, when the growth spurts started to get further apart. Sorry if that's not much help!

I got fitted by an NCT bra specialist and I have to say she was brilliant - their Royce bras were the only ones that fitted for months and months. It was only once I got passed 15 months of feeding that I needed new ones cos I'd shrunk again
