Best swimwear brands after having a baby

What brands offer the best swimwear once you have had a baby?

I've seen the tummy control swimming costumes which looks good but does anyone have recommendations for bikini tops that actually offer full support?

You'll change shape so much i it's difficult to tell. I swim multiple times per week. My maternity swimsuit was from Decathlon and had good support. I wore that at first, then switched to a £5 effectively disposable one for a bit while the weight went down. I'm back to my normal swimsuits after a year. Don't buy ahead, especially if it's for a holiday. You'll want to feel good, so but something that fits well a week or two in advance. Your shape will change every month

It also depends if you're going to breast feed. I find it easier and more discrete to slip a shoulder off a one piece, rather than try not to flop everywhere out of a wired bikini top! You can buy breast feeding bikinis, but they're quite ugly and expensive.
