Tempted to use your regular bra for nursing instead of a nursing bra? Regular bras aren't designed for nursing and may not give you the extra support you need. Lifting your regular bra up over your breast to nurse can put a lot of pressure on breast tissue, increasing the risk of infection. Special bra cups open to expose the nipple while the the cup still supports the breast.
When to Buy A Nursing Bra:
The best time to buy a nursing bra is during mid- to late-pregnancy, or when your pre-pregnancy bras are no longer comfortable. In your last months, your breasts will be nearing their full size prior to breastfeeding your baby. For your nursing convenience, nursing bras are made so that the fabric that covers the breast can be detached without having to undo the bra.
How Many Nursing Bra's Will I Need?
You'll need at least three bras: one to wear, one in the laundry, and one in the drawer. You'll want a clean one in case you leak. Buy a nursing bra that gives you good support but also allows for some extra room for nursing pads.
SyleneDC.com provides many comfortable and stylish nursing bras for you to choose from.
