What should you consider when choosing your nursing bra?

Choosing your nursing bra requires attention to support, comfort, adaptability, practicality, and aesthetics.

Suitable lingerie will accompany you comfortably and securely during this exceptional period. Thanks to the design of You&Milk nursing bras, we make the breastfeeding experience as pleasant and easy as possible for every new mom.

Our nursing bralettes and bras are:

• Wire-free: For nursing women, we recommend choosing wire-free nursing underwear to minimize any risk of breast compression and ensure optimal comfort.
• Made from eco-friendly materials: The skin becomes more sensitive during breastfeeding. You&Milk encourages you to prioritize soft, breathable, and natural fabrics for your maternity underwear so they are comfortable to wear all day long. The softness of our fabrics made from organic cotton and elastane contributes to perfect support while respecting your skin’s increased sensitivity.
• Adaptable: Considering the increase in bust size and size fluctuations that inevitably occur over the months and with milk flow, your bra must be able to adapt accordingly without restricting your body’s natural changes.
• Available in various sizes: Correctly measuring your underbust and cup size is essential to find the bra size that fits your body shape. A well-fitted bra offers excellent support for new moms and comfortable breastfeeding.
• Equipped with adjustable straps: The straps of your nursing bralette should be both elastic and adjustable to provide perfect support without putting excessive pressure on your shoulders.
• Practical for breastfeeding your baby: The You&Milk nursing bra allows you to breastfeed easily thanks to clips that are simple to open with one hand, for lingerie that is feminine and suited to the breastfeeding period.

• Attractive: Our nursing bras are above all feminine and elegant. We ensure that our maternity lingerie models are not limited to functionality but also celebrate your femininity. Seductive designs and refined details allow nursing women to feel beautiful and confident.

How to choose the size of your nursing bra?

Choosing the right size for your nursing bra is fundamental if you want to ensure perfect comfort and support during this very special period of pregnancy and breastfeeding.

To help you determine which size will suit you best, You&Milk offers a simple and effective approach:

• Use a measuring tape: Start by measuring your bust size and taking your underbust measurement. This measurement should be taken while breathing normally, without tightening the tape, but applying just enough pressure so it doesn’t slip.
• Consult our size guide: With You&Milk, you have a detailed size guide to help you choose. Whether you are looking for cups suited to small breasts or fuller busts, our guide is designed to guide you with sizes ranging from S to XXL.
• Choose the size according to the cups: Our nursing underwear is available in a wide range of sizes, from cup 80E to 105D. This ensures that all women, whether small or large, can find a bra that offers good support and great comfort for feeding.
• Consider your body’s changes: Take into account your body changes after childbirth. Your bust may still vary in size during breastfeeding. We recommend choosing a bra with some room to adapt to these fluctuations without sacrificing the support needed for your well-being and quality of lactation.

Choosing the size of your nursing bra must take into account both your current measurements and potential changes in your bust during this period.

With the help of You&Milk, you can easily identify the ideal size for you and ensure perfect comfort and support throughout the entire pregnancy and breastfeeding period.

Through the making of our maternity underwear, our goal is to offer you a breastfeeding experience that is as comfortable and practical as possible to celebrate these unique moments with your baby.

When to buy a nursing bra?

From the first months of pregnancy, just before giving birth, or just after delivery? It’s hard to know the best time to buy your nursing bra to ensure both comfort and to be prepared for the first feedings.

You&Milk shares its advice for buying your nursing bra:

We recommend buying your bra or your nursing bralette during the last trimester of your pregnancy. At this stage, your bust size has stabilized or will only increase slightly. The size you choose should be suitable for the breastfeeding period.

Another good time to make this purchase is a few weeks before your expected delivery date. This precaution ensures you have the bra ready and available from the start of breastfeeding while taking into account the latest changes in your body before your baby arrives.

You can also wait a few days after delivery, once your milk supply has stabilized. This allows you to adjust the size if necessary for optimal comfort throughout the breastfeeding period.

Some expectant moms choose to buy several bras anticipating size changes. You can buy a slightly larger bra for the first days of breastfeeding, when your breasts are generally fuller, and a slightly smaller size for later, once your milk production and breast size stabilize.

If you start finding your current bras uncomfortable by the middle of your pregnancy, it’s a sign that it’s time to consider purchasing a You&Milk nursing bra.
