Buying new bras while breastfeeding

5 replies

Would be grateful for some advice. Working 4 days a week. Breastfeeding 10 month old at night - every 2 hours or so. Do not have time to pump at work so boobs quite full by 5. Maternity bras now loose around the back and looking a little worn. Was wondering whether I could buy underwired ones to wear during the day. Is this ok? Will my boobs change size again when I stop?

Yes you can wear underwired bras, in fact I don't know why they are not more widely available as you need all the support you can get when breastfeeding!

The Anita Maternity bras are the best - they are amazing. £50 in Rigby and Peller but same bras I've paid as little as £20 on Amazon. I've had three and have been so comfy and supportive.

Here is the Amazon link. Don't think you will be disappointed with these - they are uplifting and like a second skin.

By the way - I went up a cup size as they are on smaller side (seems to be an issue others have too). Back size is same as usual for me.

You don't need nursing bras during the day when you're at work. Just buy normal bras, way more choice. But yes your boobs will likely change size again once you stop completely.
