Are Breastfeeding Bras Important?

Do you need to wear breastfeeding bras? Well, if you are comfortable without them, fine. However, a majority of women feel better with a bra, especially when breastfeeding. Moreover, it has to be the right size. There is nothing as agonizing as wearing an ill-fitting bra while nursing!

Why Breastfeeding Bras?

A good question! One of my friends had an amusing answer to this, "Your life has changed, wouldn't you change your bra?!" on a more serious note, once again I would say that if you are comfortable with a normal bra, it's fine. Nevertheless, why not have something that is specially designed for a particular task? Any smart mom would opt for a nursing bra, as they are specially made for this purpose. If it's available, then why deprive yourself of it?

I would give you another good reason to use breastfeeding bras. It avoids embarrassing situation like leaking breasts in public. A good nursing bra has cups that let you insert breast pads without making them obvious. Terrific, isn't it?

Size Matters

It's vital that you buy a well-fitting bra because it's not just discomfort that you are going to get from an ill-fitting one, but your milk ducts might get blocked too. This may lead to a decrease in your milk production. You may also get an infection in your blocked ducts, resulting in mastitis. I know you must have never thought a wrong size bra could do such harm!

Be Wary Of Wires

I would suggest avoiding under wire breastfeeding bras, particularly in the initial postpartum days. However, I know women with plus size cups happy with under wire bras. It gives them better support and prevents backache. Well, if you really want to go for it, make sure it fits properly. Some of the good ones are the Medela Extended Size Classic bra, Playtex, and Fancy Me Underwire Lace Bra.

For those who want to heed my advice and avoid an under wire bra, go for Bravado Supreme Nursing bra. It's tailor-made for fuller-breasted women. Besides this, you will love wearing it, as it's made of finely imprinted fabric that feels like silk, yet is strong. You clothes will just slide over it making nursing an easy and enjoyable task.

Your breastfeeding bra should make things easier for you. It should open at both cups. It should give your breasts lots of support, making it convenient for you to breastfeed. Besides this, you should be able to open as well as close the bra with one hand. A bra that occupies both your hands is inconvenient and not a good buy.
