Where to buy Nursing Bras!
I breastfed my first little girl for 8 months and got my bras from Mothercare or Marks and Spencer.
That was 2 and half years ago and now im 31 weeks pregnant with number 2 and intend to breastfeed again i was just wondering where you can buy nursing bras from apart from where i got them first time around. Do like tesco/asda/newlook do maternity bras these days?
Or anywhere you ladies would recommend
Thanks X

I think New Look do nursing bras, H&M do - but when I went bra shopping when dd was 6 days old, Debenhams were cheaper than H&M!

Got my other from Mothercare but nowhere near as good as Hot Milk x
My other bras are all from mothercare, they're ok but these debenhams ones are cheaper (2 for ??20) & far superior!
WHAT KIND OF BRA TO BUY
Nursing bras are designed with cups that open. You can open the flap on the cup so that baby can nurse while the rest of the bra stays in place. Here's what to look for when you shop:
* Flaps should be easily opened with one hand. If you can refasten them with one hand, that's even better. Remember, your other arm will be holding a hungry baby. For discreet nursing in public, choose a bra with fasteners that you can open without looking at them.
# The bra should support the breast from beneath even when the cup is open. This makes feeding more comfortable and reclosing the bra less of a struggle.
# Avoid bras that open completely at the front for a feeding. You'll have a hard time wrestling your breasts back into place when you're done nursing.
# Nursing bras should fit comfortably. Bras that are too tight can leave you vulnerable to plugged ducts and breast infections in the parts of the breast where straps or underwires block the flow of milk.
# Avoid underwires, especially in the early postpartum weeks. If you do choose an underwire bra, be very particular about the fit. The breast's milk-producing tissue extends all the way back to your rib cage and up into your armpit. An underwire may obstruct the milk ducts in this area--besides poking and annoying you. (Underwire bras can be miserable to wear during pregnancy. The wires dig into your upward-expanding abdomen whenever you sit down.)
# Cups should be made of a breathable fabric. This is usually 100 percent cotton, although some of the newer synthetics also allow the skin to breathe. Other synthetics trap moisture next to the nipples and encourage bacterial growth and soreness. Don't buy a bra with a plastic lining.
# You'll need at least three bras: one to wear, one in the laundry, and one in the drawer. Owning a few more means you'll have to wash less often.
Nursing bras,Breast Soother
I currently own 7 nursing bras, but my 2 Bravados (the Bliss and the Body Silk) are my favorites. Since my pre-pregnancy breast size was decent but not huge, my pre-pregnancy wardrobe consists of a lot of lower cut tanks and tees that just don't work with the full coverage that most maternity bras offer.
I found some for me at eBay
Bravado are supposed to be good, and the hot milk ones too. Also, Freya do them if you need something with more support.
I also found some on eBay and some local stores.
