Bra issues
I love breastfeeding and want to carry on for at least a year, but am getting so p***ed off with nursing bras!
My boobs were big anyway but over pregnancy and breastfeeding they've just got bigger and I'm now 38FF. The problem is nursing bras are just so unsupportive. I bought a lovely underwear set before xmas, which is underwired non-nursing, and i look fab in it, but my nursing bras just make my shape look terrible, and it's just making me sad. Can anyone recommend a decent nursing bra? I have been properly fitted into all of mine so it's not a wrong size issue. I really want wires but they don't seem to do them. I can't bear to carry on looking so frumpy.

Have a look on www.figleaves.co.uk - they're not cheap but well worth it. If you go for the smooth one get a cup size larger than you actually are.

I had a bad case of mastitis and although this isn't what caused it I got some new nursing bras.
My back size had gone from a 36 after the birth to a 32.
I managed to find a lady to come to my house and she measured me free of charge and fitted me to 3 different brands.
In hotmilk I was a 34G and in Anita I was a 32I so they are all so very different. I find the A frame hotmilk ones really supportive for a non-underwire but they also do wired ones although rarer to find. Anita is good but as someone else said I was a size bigger in the underwired ones over the non.
My lady also sold the bras cheaper than RRP on her website:
