Underwired bras and breastfeeding

[Kandle]

Hey Ladies,

I plan to breastfeed when baby comes. I have been advised that wearing underwired bras is not good in terms of supporting the flow of milk (or something similar!). So, the question is, when should I stop wearing my underwires?

Any advice greatly appreciated.

I fed my son when he was born and i wore an under wired maternity one.

Lots of things seems to have changed since 5 years ago tho so im not sure tbh

Hi, anyone bought an underwired lightly padded nursing bra?

All the bras i have tried on just do nothing for me shape wise. I had a MASSIVE meltdown in mothercare the other day!

Tried on the nursing bras and i wouldn't even show my mum how it fitted!!!! No support or shape! I wouldn't step outside my front door in any of these bras.....yuck mono boob aint a good look!!

lol...seriously tho has anyone managed to find a nice underwired padded nursing bra ?Any websites you could recomend would be greatly appreciated....especially if you are above a d cup, im a 36 g..nightmare to find any thing!!

Thanks.

Hiya

I bought lightly padded non underwired bras from Mothercare and they were good.

I've not worn an underwired bra for nearly 10 months now and I've got ginormous knockers (32K).

My nursing bra is this one and I wear 4 on rotation 24/7. I went out for the first time last Friday and as these are lacy and my dress was tight I just put my smooth mothercare underwired one back on. The shape feels a bit better too.

Because I wear a bra constantly I don't think an underwired one would be very comfy.

Oooo I never knew you could buy underwired nursing bras!! I was dreading switching from underwired to no wired once baby's born! My boobs are like lethal weapons at the moment! I'm so happy now i can still wear underwired afterwards!!

I am breastfeeding and I have been wearing normal underwired bras as I can't afford to get myself new ones (silly aint it?) and I have more than enough milk for my bubba. I wear a bra 24/7 as I too am blessed (cursed?) with large boobs and I don't want them around my ankles when I stop feeding
