Does anyone have a good resource for nursing bras... of the large variety? I gave birth on the 23rd to a beautiful baby girl, second one. My bras from the first pregnancy just aren't cutting it. I would like some bras that don't look like something my grandma would wear in addition to some practical ones!

Thanks!

Without knowing what size you are I'd first recommend Medela. When I was nursing I found a great medical store that had a whole breastfeeding area with Medela pumps and bras. If you can find a place like this i'd recommend it because they'll fit you properly.

The problem with Medela is it looks like they only go up to 40G (from what I've seen).

Doing a quick Google search, I found nursing bra's at JustMySize.com that don't look too granny-ish including underwire, no wire and tanks and camisoles.

Everything else I found looks a little like something fashioned in the 1950's. It might be fuctional but it definitely wouldn't be mistaken for Victoria's Secret.

44DD-- I pretty much look like Pamela Anderson would if her boobs were down to her waist... and if her hair was brown... and she weighed a lot more... and if her lips were normal size... but you get the idea

I was having a similar problem finding a decent nursing bra. I was measured between 38 and 40 G. Which no one seems to carry that large of a size. I happened to try on a nursing bra at Target and voila, it fit. And it looks attractive. It is a 40 DD. Don't ask me how it fit, it must run BIG. I love it. The brand is Gilligan & O'Malley and it was only $14!! It is worth checking out. Hope this helps.

I absolutely love the ones I've gotten from Bravado Designs. You'll pay a little more for them than what you'll find at Target, but they have a wide variety of sizes. I'm 3 days away from my due date and have been wearing their sports bra style one almost daily because its so comfortable. Granted, I'm only a D cup, but I think you'll be able to find something on their website you'll like. They also have styles that look very much like normal bras and I plan on ordering some of those for when I return to work.

I have a few sleep nursing bras from Target but their regular daytime use ones I wasn't thrilled about. They didn't really offer the support that I needed.

I second Bravado. I have 2 beautiful nursing bras that are comfortable and offer great support.

I also really like the bras that Gap offers. Stylish, sexy and still functional.

Medela offers a softcup supportive bra - it's almost like a sports bra. I'm definitely going to be picking one up.

I never used to wear a bra during the night, but since baby was born have found it to be essential. If not for support but because I leak all over and I need something to hold my nursing pad in place!!
