Good day fine reader, nice to welcome you here to a new college of Dutch Designers Outlet her Lingerie and Swimwear expert. With your visit to my blog, I suppose I may congratulate you on your pregnancy! What a great time purchases are going to be and what a lot of questions you are going to ask! But first the question: when to buy nursing bra? I'm going to help you with tips and advice so that you are well prepared for this special time.
The difference between a maternity bra and a nursing bra
Many moms-to-be wonder what the difference is between a maternity bra and nursing bra. Not an unjustified question! Although both bras are designed for comfort during pregnancy, there is a big difference. For example, a nursing bra has convenient closures for breastfeeding after delivery. A maternity bra mainly provides extra support during the growth of your breasts and belly during pregnancy.
When to buy nursing bra during pregnancy?
Now for the crucial question: when to buy nursing bra during pregnancy? The ideal time is around week 36. Your breasts have largely grown by then. This allows you to determine the right size. Also, you can be sure to get your new nursing bra on time. Just before the birth of your baby. Tip: buy two at once. That way you always have a clean bra to hand!
Tips for choosing the right bra size
Determining the right size for your bra is no different than normal. So the method remains the same. Although the importance of calculating the right bra size is slightly higher. After all, your breasts are a lot more sensitive! Do you know how many cup sizes breasts get bigger during pregnancy? I wrote a blog about it but here's what you need to know. Keep in mind that your breasts will grow and shrink. So choose a bra that you can adjust; for example, with adjustable straps and multiple closures.
Why a nursing bra with or without underwire?
Are you unsure between a nursing bra with or without underwire? A bra without underwire often offers more comfort and reduces the chance of pinching. This is important to prevent congestion and constipation. Still, some underwire bras offer extra support that you may find comfortable. It is a personal choice that depends on your needs, your cup size and the material of the bra.
The importance of good material and fabric
When buying a nursing bra, pay attention to the material and fabric. Natural materials like cotton breathe better and feel soft on your skin. This is nice for sensitive breasts during the breastfeeding period. Avoid synthetic fabrics that can irritate. A good nursing bra may be a hefty investment. However, this is all about your comfort and health.
Useful features to look out for
Looking for a convenient nursing bra? Then look for features such as cups that you can open with one hand. This makes feeding your baby a lot easier. Adjustable straps and multiple closures are also practical. They ensure that the bra grows with you and always fits properly. A nice extra are the reminder pins you can attach to the cup of your bra. Attach the pin to the cup where your little one drank. That way you know which breast to start at next time. It's the little details that make a big difference in everyday use!
When is it time to buy new nursing bras?
You will find that your breasts continue to change during the breastfeeding period. Therefore, it's smart to check your bra size regularly. If your bra no longer fits properly or no longer provides support, it's time for a new one. At Dutch Designers Outlet, we have a wide collection to choose from.
