Nursing bra for big boobies

Help! My boobs need you!

I would appreciate any recommendations for decent nursing bras for larger baps. I am 34f and have always found bra shopping a nightmare before pregnancy and now finding it even more of an ordeal to find a decent nursing bra which offers good support where my boobs don't flop about. All help greatly appreciated!

Are you pregnant or nursing? If the former, they might get a lot bigger ... I found underwired Anita or hot milk ones best (I'm bigger than you). Wireless ones were awful.

Royce wireless bras are good nursing bras!

Anita ones were great for nursing but I found them uncomfortable during pregnancy because of the underwire

Amazon do a 3 pack of non underwired nursing bras which I wore throughout pregnancy. You can wear 2 at a time if you need to have extra support, or a bra plus a nursing vest

I am 8 months pregnant so have managed with non-nursing bras up to now but intending to breast feed once bubba arrives so want to get some nursing bras so ease of access.

The non-wife bras look lovely and comfy on the modals in the pictures but I can't believe they would provide decent support for bigger boobs

Some people say wires can make mastitis a bit more likely, for me it was a worthwhile pay off as unwired ones made me miserable with horrible shape, heat rash, monoboob, spilling out etc. I never got mastitis.

Some people swear by molke as well.

Be a bit careful before spending a huge amount of money, when your milk comes in your boobs get bigger, then might reduce down a bit as everything settles. You can sometimes get good eBay bargains as people buy a size they immediately grow out of!

I found Kate Evans food of love book really helpful with breastfeeding btw. It's a cartoon format but goes through technique and common challenges. Kellymom site too. Good luck!

I couldn’t get on with wires, wireless a bit more forgiving of size fluctuations! The Royce ones supportive enough, certainly can tell when I’m not wearing it anyway! :D
