To all mothers that have nursed their babies, did you actually need to buy nursing bras? Just wondering. I have been to the stores and can't find anything that I like! Should I spend money on a nursing bra?
Answer
I used my nursing bras the first month or so while I was learning to breast feed and adjusting to it, but then I went to normal bras...then I went back to my nursing bras...yeah they're ugly, but they are made for breasts to 'grow' and 'shrink' because your breasts won't always be full (like after a feeding they're not as full/large)...I found that in my normal bras I'd get more engorged (later I found out that bras with underwire can cause clogged milk ducts which leads to engorgement and not very comfy)....My son is 13 months and still nursing but now I wear my normal bras and just lift the cups up 1/2 way over my breasts when he nurses....but I'd say buy yourself a nurisng bra or 2...I actually liked these cheap ugly pink packaged ones from walmart best. Once you've got breastfeeding down you'll know what kind of bra you prefer. Best of luck and congrats on breastfeeding!

Answer
When I bought nursing bras, the lady at Motherhood Maternity told me to get one size cup bigger than I was--I, too, went at 36 weeks to get nursing bras.
It only fit while I was engorged. The rest of the time it was way too big.
What I would suggest to you is this: buy the sleep nursing bras, that are sized S, M, and L. Buy a couple of those. Once your milk has come in and you're no longer engorged, then go buy the nicer nursing bras. At that point, your breasts will be the size they'll probably stay while nursing.
I was a 36C at 36 weeks. Now, I wear nursing tanks that are a 34B/C from bravado.
