Hi all,
Does anyone have any recommendations for nursing bras? My last 2 bubbas I just used cheap crappy ones, but this time I want to get a couple of decent ones in the hope that it makes a difference. TIA  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I got a Hot Milk one thinking "yay" and absolutely hated it. Money not well spent.
My ugly Bendon ones were OK - slightly lacy numbers so not too industrial  . I found padded cups didn't work for me - my boob would always try and escape under the fastened cup (if that makes sense. It wasn't pretty).
In the end though, I lived in my BF singlets from Farmers. 24-7 for about 7 months  . They rocked. Really comfy, and best of all, covered my tummy.------------- Mum to two wee boys |

| I think brand wise it would depend on your size.. |

If you have little boobs (A/B/C) then the bonds croptop style nursing bras a re really comfy and offer fair support - much more then the padded bra from bonds.
Nursing singlets are great - I'm like flissty, I wore mine for nearly a year, and would only wear a "nice" bra if I was getting really dressed up for something special. |

I had no problems with the singlets even when a large cup (E-F when BF *sigh* those were the days) ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

I have a fayform one and a HOTmilk one, and definately the hotmilk one is far more comfortable. But I haven't used them for BF yet. ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">

I like Fayreform for bigger sizes. They are expensive but check on trademe - they're available about half the price new. Also a lot of people buy them then don't breastfeed so you can get them 2nd hand but hardly worn.

I love my hotmilk ones, just not the padded style one I have. I've found their sizing to be smaller than other brands, something to be aware of :) -------------

| Funny just had to go out and buy some new ones as my boobs are now smaller since DS is having solids. I went from a B cup before I was preggy up to an E cup at the birth. I so wasn't used to the extra movement! I bought two pairs of the bendon ones soft cups but felt these were not supportive enough. Today I asked the bra lady and she recommended Triumph, far better and a lot more support (now down to a DD), totally recommend the Triumph ones. I only buy two in each new size as I figure they are just going to shrink more now. In a nursing bra I am all for support vs the look, I am trying to minimize the sag look post BF |

I can't remember who it was, but they recommended womama's for small boobies, but looking at them, they are a really full cup, so i'm not sure if they would fare well at all for us less fortunate. Any ideas? ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I've found the Bub2b maternity bras great. You get them from K-Mart. They have cute ones and you can get sexy ones too. They also do matching briefs for the sexy ones as well. They are really comfy too. -------------
