By the time your first trimester ends, you will probably realize that the bras you are wearing now won't work once the baby arrives. For one, they will fit tighter or possibly not at all. If you are going to breastfeed your baby, you will want a bra that makes the breastfeeding process a little easier and more comfortable for you.
Choosing a nursing bra might not be as easy as it looks. You must consider price, comfort and, yes, even the look of the bra. From there you can decide if you want an underwire or a soft cup. A nursing bra will become your best and closest friend for the entire time you are nursing your baby, so you should choose one that will make you comfortable. There is nothing worse than buying a nursing bra only to discover the fit isn't right or you don't like the way it looks or feels against your skin. Remember that your breasts will be tender in the beginning, so the feel and comfort is important.
Beyond the appearance and feel of the bra, you should compare prices. It is entirely possible to spend $40 on one bra. You must decide if the cost is worth it or if you can skate by with an economy-priced bra, which can run around $11. The difference in price may be considerable but, in terms of quality, most bras don't have major differences. You will want to get the best bra possible for your dollar, so try on a few in the different price ranges. You might be surprised that the most expensive is not the best fit for you.
Your nursing bra should stretch to make room for nursing pads and engorgement without losing support. Purchase multiple nursing bras so you always have a clean one available. Breastfeeding moms agree that the ease of use is what they look for when finding a nursing bra. If the nursing flaps are not easy to open and close, then they will pass it up and choose the one that allows them to easily work the flaps. While most moms will begin wearing a nursing bra halfway through their pregnancy, some prefer to wait until the baby arrives before donning their new attire.
