How to find the perfect fit when it comes to pregnancy and nursing bras

Pregnancy and Nursing Bras
- You may need to change your bra as often as every two months during your pregnancy.
- When pregnant, buy bras on the tightest back setting so there's room for your ribcage to expand. Or, if your cup size still fits and the strap is tight, you can use a back extender to prolong the life of an existing bra.
- Generally avoid maternity bras unless you're getting a bargain since there isn't much difference between them and regular bras.
- Buy a nursing bra on the loosest back setting so you can make it smaller as you lose baby weight.
- Avoid underwire bras for the first three to four months of nursing as the wire can cause discomfort and block your milk ducts.
our breasts will change in size throughout your pregnancy and for as long as you nurse, which makes finding comfortable bras a bit of a challenge. Here's how to get the best, most comfortable fitting bras whether you're pregnant or nursing. To view the full story click here.
