Is due date fast approaching? Then it is time for you to begin preparing for your post-pregnancy needs, and this includes having the right nursing bra. Shopping for comfortable nursing bras, however, proves to be a challenging task. There are so many factors to consider when getting the right nursing bra. For instance, take into consideration the several stages involved when a woman is pregnant. First, there is the period of 9 months itself, and then there is after-delivery, followed by the nursing stage. Each period or stage may yield a different bust size; therefore, careful consideration about the nursing bra should be done. Also, the amount of time devoted to nursing the baby after delivery can have an effect on shopping for comfortable nursing bras.
One of the most important things to note is that every woman’s body reacts in a different way to nursing. There are women who experience an increase in cup size during the third trimester of their pregnancy at the time when they start nursing. However, there are also those who experience an increase of about two cup sizes while others may only have half the size increase. In this case, here are a few general tips when shopping for comfortable nursing bras, regardless of the bust size increase.
Particularly for first timers, it is hard to predict the increase in bust size that will take place since there is neither experience nor history to look back from. Experts suggest that the best period to buy a nursing bra is when the due date is approaching since this is the best time to estimate how much the bust size will increase. For those who are planning to nurse, the production of milk may come in a span of 2-3 days following delivery. Usually, this is the time when most women experience an uptick in their cup size. Nonetheless, when hormones settle down, there is simply the adjustment of milk supply demand, and one’s bust size will also settle down.
It is normal to experience size fluctuations, before and after the nursing period; thus, it is best to select comfortable nursing bras which can stretch and adjust as the bust size changes. The nursing bra should also provide support needed for heavier lactating breasts. Avoid nursing bras that are too tight as irritation could occur because of the inner seams. Also, you may want to avoid underwires: they could rub against your breast tissue, which would lead to inflammation.
The second important rule in buying nursing bras is to limit the number of bras purchase for the time being. It is advisable to buy only a few pieces until the bust size settles following the first few weeks. At most, the number of bras that can initially be bought will have to be about 3-4 pieces. Keep this in mind to ensure a smooth post-pregnancy.
In summary, the best time to buy a nursing bra is near the date of pregnancy. Secondly, buy comfortable nursing bras that stretch. Finally, limit your purchase of bras to allow the bust size to settle.
