Nursing Bras

[moonstone523]

Can you recommend a brand, style, etc?

And where can I get some for a bargain? I don't feel like dropping $40+ a pop on bras.

I bought mine at target. They have lots of different styles.

I bought a bunch from Motherhood at the Ellenton outlet. It was buy three, get the fourth free, so 4 for around $60. They are no VS, but they did the job.

Okay, that's where I need to go. The outlets have the best deal. I was looking at some on Amazon that were $45 or so. Ouch. If I'm going o wear them for 6-12months, I guess I'll drop the $$$ since my boobs are worth it, but I'd rather not. Ellenton it is.

I got mine at the womens store at St Joes Women's Hospital for about $20 each. The lady there, Marybeth (I think...it's a 2 name name) was great. She fitted me and had me try lots on.

I bought about 4 different styles from Motherhood and I didn't care for any. I ended up wearing my regular bras from VS for 5 of the 6 months I BF.

My LC friend said to wait to get them until your milk comes in. I'm glad I did because my boobs didn't grow, so I didn't need them. I did buy a couple of stretchy ones before, just to have on hand.

Yes wait until you'd milk comes in. Mine got bigger. I had bought some before when Medala had that huge sale but they were too small when milk came in. I had no idea how big I could really get.

I ordered Bravado bras from Amazon. Ridiculously expensive but when you're a 36I, what choice do you have? I would definitely keep the tags on and keep receipts until after your milk comes in and you know they will fit.

Those were the ones I were looking at. I'll wait until milk comes in. Thanks for the advice.

I actually got mine from Wal-Mart. I dont normally shop there for clothes but my mom bought them for me and they were the ones I liked the best. They didnt have underwires as I dont think your supposed to wear a bra with underwires when your nursing but they fit well and were cheap.

I would check the outlets too.

[mrschelseap09]

Target. I still wear mine, lol. They are the only ones that seem to fit anymore. I thought your boobs were supposed to shrink after breastfeeding?

I haven't bought any yet, but did look at that Destination Maternity store at International Mall. I was checking out the ones for overnight that are more like a sports bra and they were around $20-$22 each. I plan to go there and buy two before baby comes. Then after baby see what size I am if I need to buy any regular bras. Thus far in pregnancy, my boobs haven't grown (thank goodness as I am already too big) so I am hopeful they won't get much bigger after the milk comes in.

I have also read to wait until after delivery and milk comes in before buying as you never know what size you are. That store at International has a pretty large selection if you haven't checked it out yet.

I did buy some nursing tanks at Target as they were on the clearance rack and a good deal. Didn't want to pass them up as even if I grow they should still fit fine. This is what I will likely wear in the beginning when I'm just around the house.

I will admit, they hold up really well.

I got a few at Target and they were definitely like $10.99 each I believe. I also still wear some normal bras. I was not going to spend a bunch of money on ugly nursing bras. They look kind of like old lady bras.

I went to Target this morning and didn't see any.

Are they in the bra section or maternity section? (I just looked in maternity.)

[april17]

At Target they are in the regular bra section. They have both nursing tanks and bras there. There is usually quite a decent selection, just nothing that is large enough for me. I was able to fit into some of the larger tanks though.

Today I went to Destination Maternity at International Mall and I tried on several bras. Ended up buying four of them as they have a special of buy three, get one free. The prices of the ones I tried on ranged from $17 to $23.

Damn PB, it ate my response. I swear by these:

and this style, but back in the day they didn't make them look like camis. So soft, so comfy and incredibly supportive. Also helped there was no underwire or cup to restrict fullness:
