Nursing Bra Review: Top Nursing Bra Choices
BC (before-children), I wrote a well-informed, yet strictly theoretical post about nursing bras. Fortunately for my fashion reputation, the theories still apply.
But this here post is a really-real, experiential review of mine and baby boyfriend’s top selections for a nursing layette.
Now not so fast my milk maid. First measure. Preferably after your milk has unpacked its suitcases. I’ve experienced first hand, the really-real reality of a three cup size increase in the lady eggs.
This requires an entirely new collection of nests, and if you plan to order online and enjoy the diversity of sizes and styles available to the informed shopper, not to mention the convenience of ordering at home in your postpartum stretchy pants, you must measure.
If you are shy of self applied measuring tape, go to a well-equipped department store or bra boutique and get a professional to calculate the nest size for you. However, I must warn you, my favorite department store only carried one style of nursing lingerie, and I had to button a pair of trousers and pack a double stroller to capacity to get there.

| Elle Macpherson Intimates Maternelle Maternity Bra Comfort: 10, Flexibility: 10, Support: 6, Prettiness: 7 Fits True to Size In the first few weeks following your wee milk-a-tarian’s arrival, when your lactation officials are sucked sore, not to mention incessantly shifting, this is the balm I recommend. It offers an exceptionally soft cup and lace that ascends to a luxurious level of modesty, a strong contrast to the amount of exposure you currently endure. |

| Bravado Bliss! Women’s Nursing Bra Comfort: 9, Flexibility: 8, Support: 8, Prettiness:8 Fits True to Size If I could recommend only one basket in which to place all nursing flowers, this would be it. Bravado offers a soft cup with the strength of seaming and underwire. It both calms and camouflages tender teats. |

| Le Mystere Sexy Mama Underwire Comfort: 7, Flexibility: 6, Support: 10, Prettiness:10 Once your milk supply has stabilized and pretty become a primary consideration, test drive this Cadillac of the nursing kingdom.

| Simple Wishes Hands Free Breast Pump Bustier Functionality: 10, Prettiness:0 While not even tangential to attractive, I adore the function of this nursing aid. My hands prefer several activities to the banality of nursing pump support. |
