When & What You’ll Need

Congratulations on your pregnancy! Breastfeeding is a beautiful and important decision—for both your baby’s health and your own.

When Should You Buy a Nursing Bra?

Don’t wait until after birth—start shopping in the final weeks of your third trimester. This timing helps ensure a better fit when your breasts become fuller as your milk comes in.

Why a Nursing Bra is Essential

Unlike regular bras, nursing bras are designed to support your changing breasts with comfort and function in mind. Simply sizing up a fashion bra won’t give you the support or accessibility you’ll need.

Choosing the Right Nursing Bra

Your comfort is key. Look for bras with easy one-hand clasps for quick nursing access—especially useful when you’re holding your baby. Our nursing cami is a customer favorite: versatile enough for hospital stays, home, outings, or even sleep. It offers soft support and midsection coverage for discreet nursing.

How Many Should You Own?

We recommend at least three: one to wear, one to wash, and one on standby. A combination of daytime nursing bras, a sleep bra, and a nursing cami gives you flexibility and comfort throughout the day.

Reassess After Birth

About a month into breastfeeding, get refitted. Your size may change, and you’ll likely need a couple more bras or camis as your routine shifts—whether you’re heading out or returning to work.
