Plus Size Nursing Bras

During pregnancy your bra size can increase by up to four sizes (yes thats right!) and it is extremely important that you get the adequate support for your breasts. If like me you are a bit 'fuller' on top then you will know how hard it can be to find a retailer that stocks bras above a DD size, and it is even harder if you have a small back (e.g 32G). It is extremely important that you don't admit defeat and try to 'squeeze yourself in' as this can cause your breasts to become painfully swollen and engorged and potentially block your milk ducts leading to infections.

A plus size nursing bra will help you to feel well supported, comfortable and confident and these days they come in more than just black and white styles! There are a selection of online retailers that sell good looking plus size nursing bras . They have flaps that can be opened and refastened quickly and easily to make breastfeeding quick, easy and discreet. While you may not feel that nursing bras are necessary it is definitely advised that you avoid underwired bras as they can cause blockages in your milk ducts. If you have decided that you do want to wear a nursing bra then the next best thing to do is to get measured, you can do this at home but it is definitely better to go to a store where they have specially trained staff on hand. Do not feel like you have to buy any of their bras if you get measured as the service is free and once you know your size you can buy them much cheaper on the internet. In any case if it is a plus size nursing bra you are after then the store you visit probably won't stock your size anyway.


You should buy at least two nursing bras so you'll always have one on hand while the other one is in the wash. I'd also recommend you buy some breast pads as well for leaking breast milk (especially in the early days). You can buy both reusable and disposable breast pads - which ever you prefer.

So wherever you decide to buy your plus size nursing bra from you will definitely benefit from having one and your breastfeeding experience will be that much more enjoyable.
