There are certain nursing products that are suitable for sleeping in. A good sleep nursing bra should be seamless with double layered cups so you can wear it with, or without nursing pads.

Plus, they should be super soft and stretchy to adjust with your breasts as the fill and empty with milk. These types of bras are perfect for the first few weeks of breastfeeding as you find your way with routine. Another option is a nursing camisole. These are also perfect for sleeping in and can be worn during the day as a normal top too.

We know what you mean! Seams and stitching across the nipple area or unlined bras can cause irritation on already sensitive and tender breasts. As mentioned earlier, fabric type is also incredibly important. Keep your fabrics natural and soft, so there is less chance of irritation and sweatiness. It is suggested that you have 2 to 3 bras to rotate during your pregnancy and to have them professionally fitted, so that you can get the best size, as your body will be constantly changing throughout pregnancy.

During the first couple of weeks after delivery, most women who establish breastfeeding will notice their breasts may suddenly increase in size again. It is also noticed after delivery that your band size will go DOWN again, closer to your pre-pregnancy band size. One of the first things you notice when pregnant is sore breasts and nipples, so at some stage early in pregnancy as your breasts start to increase in size, you will want a bigger bra.

We suggest purchasing one or two maternity bras within the first 3 months or as soon as your current bras start feeling tight and uncomfortable. At Avokado, we can suggest some underwire bras that are most suitable for early pregnancy. We recommend that at some stage towards the end of pregnancy, you start to wear a non-underwire maternity or feeding bra. As your breasts are constantly changing during pregnancy and breastfeeding, you may find that having no underwires is a lot more comfortable.

If a bra is properly fitted, you should get good uplift and support from it. If you prefer an underwire bra, then the Freya flexi-wire Nursing bra makes a good alternative. However, we recommend that you have this bra professionally fitted and that you wear non-underwire bras for at least the first weeks after the birth. Because your breasts can be very tender, you may find it really comfortable to sleep in your bra as this gives support as well as contains breast pads. There are many changes when you get pregnant and one of them is coming to terms with changing the style of bra you are used to wearing.

This is especially relevant for ladies who's busts increase dramatically during pregnancy. Maternity and Nursing bras are created to give the breasts as much support and comfort as possible. They are designed for the best function and the fuller the bra, the more support and the more comfortable they are, which is very important during pregnancy and breast feeding.
