Nursing
bras
Most bras can be used for nursing. But a nursing bra that you can
open with one hand can be very useful. Here are a few things to keep
in mind:
- Don't use underwire or stiff bras, or bras that are too tight.
They can lead to blocked milk ducts and
mastitis.
- Pulling a regular bra up or down to expose your nipple is
fine. Be careful, however, to avoid putting localized pressure on
your breast as this can lead to mastitis.
- If you are buying nursing bras while you are pregnant (yes,
they do make great maternity bras), don't buy too many. Your
breasts will enlarge further when your milk comes in, and you'll
need bigger bras.
Here are some companies that sell nursing bras:
