Good breastfeeding bra's? Post Reply

[clapham_mum]

Does anyone have any recommedations on breastfeeding bra's? I don't want to spend a fortune on them, as I'll probably only need them for 3 months or so. Do you think the ones H&M sells are good? How many did you have?

Thx!

I bought mine off Asos, think the brand was Emma Jane? I also bought a Hot Milk one. I found them both really good as I bought heaps and none really fitted me properly! The Emma Jand sleep bras are particularly good

Very personal choice in terms of they are all different shapes / wired or not etc but I was very happy with these having gone into jo jo maman bebe and tried one on:

Survived with 2 (always washing with new baby) for 10 months

I had a friend who had raved about Hot Milk ones

Liked Mothercare bras, some pretty cotton ones sometimes. Also, got an Elle McPherson one which was great.

I have 2 Elle Macpherson ones and they are still going strong 11 months on!
They are great and have also given my boobs a lot of support. Cant recommend them highly enough.
If you need them for only 3 months you might want something else though.

I've survived with two Brevados, from Pretty Pregnant, for almost 7 months. They're extremely comfortable, and I bought a third recently only because the other two were getting dingy-looking from the wash.

I had a Hot Milk one which was lovely but also had some cheaper ones from Topshop Maternity and La Senza. They were all very good.

I used basic cotton ones from both Mothercare and M&S and thought they were absolutely fine. Started with four, but then went up to six as I breastfed for quite a while - neither shop was particularly expensive (I think £20 or so for two) and I thought they were comfortable, functional and held up very well....

Have been surviving for the last 10 months or so with the Body Silk Seamless from Bravado and another one from Mothercare. I started wearing them in the last few weeks before G was born and the one from Bravado is my fave hands down (so soft, comfy and it comes in a nude colour). My boobs have gone from very big to giant to medium through late pregnancy and breastfeeding for nearly 9 months and this bra has NEVER let me down (no unsightly cutting lines). The one thing is, it was and still is a little large around the bust (had to get an L to accommodate the big boobs) but that said, it's never felt uncomfortable. Got it at Pretty Pregnant on Northcote road but you can get it here for quite a bit less - http://www.nursingbra-shop.co.uk/ShowDetails.asp?id=112. Oh and it goes through the wash and dryer (!) no problem.

Sorry, forgot to add... Also have a couple of other cotton ones from Vertbaudet. Basically, I keep those for when I'm at home and not bothered what I look like. Problem I've found with the cotton ones is that they don't "grow" that well with your boobs throughout the day.
Hope this all helps.

I popped into Peter Jones today for a fitting. They open at 11 on a Sunday, I had an 11am appointment and I left at 11.23am (to be exact) with 3 bras for £45 - nude, white and black.

Big changing room, lovely staff, reasonable range (probably about 20 to choose from) and it was great to have a proper fitting (I looked online at Figleaves, Mothercare and M&S but was a bit overwhelmed and I actually wasn't the size I thought I would be at all).

There is also free parking all around the King's Road until 1pm on Sundays - v handy.

I breastfed my children for ages and my favourite bra by far was from 'Milk'. I bought it with lovely matching knickers from Pretty Pregnant on Northcote Rd. Made me feel womanly as opposed to just a milk machine!

i bought 3 bras from pretty pregnant, i think they were #30 each - dont remember the exact name but they were very plain, basic design (no frills or any of that). wore them all the way through pregnancy and am still wearing them now my baby is 6 months, they wash really well and are SUPER comfy.. really recommend.
