What kind of bra should you wear while breastfeeding?
A nursing bra is a supportive garment for the breasts, worn while a new mom is either breastfeeding or during pregnancy. It differs from a regular bra because it has a latch to easily and quickly expose the nipple to breastfeed your baby. They also give extra support to engorged breasts that may be heavier than usual.
During the day a comfortable wire-free, seam-free and supportive nursing bra is the best option. You can start wearing this type of bra during pregnancy if you outgrow your regular bras. When you begin nursing, bras with full drop cups will allow you to breastfeed your baby easily and discreetly. Avoid wearing a bra that compresses your breasts or that's tight around the rib band or cup, which can cause issues with milk flow and supply. Wearing the wrong type of bra can even lead to constricted or plugged milk ducts.
When should I wear the Belly Bandit® Leakproof Nursing Bra?
You can start wearing your Belly Bandit® Leakproof Nursing Bra at any time. If you need to size up during pregnancy, we recommend moving to a nursing bra since you’ll need one shortly thereafter, if you choose to breastfeed. Our Leakproof Nursing bra is extremely comfortable and can be worn all day, and to sleep if desired for extra support and access for night feeding.
Is this leak proof nursing bra moisture wicking and odor resistant?
What sets the Belly Bandit® Leakproof Nursing Bra apart from other nursing bras is its unique leak proof design. It includes a water-resistant outer fabric for easy spot cleaning after nursing and an odor-reducing fabric lining. It even comes with removable nursing pads for an extra layer of protection.
Can I sleep with this nursing bra?
You can definitely sleep in this nursing bra, especially if you are experiencing increased leaks overnight. This can happen because milk supply is typically at its highest overnight, and breasts can become engorged once the baby starts sleeping longer stretches. This bra can make sure you stay dry and rested.
Is this leakproof nursing bra adjustable?
Yes, the Belly Bandit® Leakproof Nursing Bra is adjustable. The wider straps are highly adjustable to accommodate changing breast size throughout pregnancy and your unique breastfeeding journey.
