I noticed this article when I was reading about converting bras into nursing bras. Besides actually buying a nursing bra, why not stick with the bra you like and convert it into a nursing bra. This site converts ANY bra they sell into a nursing bra, check it out: http://www.brasnyc.com/webpage.asp?id=19

After several failed attempts with motherhood maternity bras and medela, I found bravada and nummies. I'm still BFing Bubba Joe @ 27 months (and just found out that I'm prego with #2). Coverage and support (as well as sexiness) are important to me. I just found Nummies during our last trip to the states on zappos.com. Very comfie bra and very flattering to my figure. (I no longer have the boy look - look ma! I've got curves!) And Bravada - well, I've just never gone wrong with just about anything from them. My fav is in the wash (or downstairs drying) ... I'll try to remember to figure out which model it is because I am in love with it right now! Alices last blog post..Sweet dreams are made of this ...

[…] the acceptance of public breastfeeding around the world. In the next days, I’ll be reviewing nursing bras, nursing tops, and detailing my BFAR relationship with my now one year […]

I absolutely swear by Japanese Weekend crossover bra. It isn’t all cotton (only drawback) but it is amazingly comfy and holds up well to washing. It is great for those of us whose breasts aren’t huge (I am a C cup now, I believe, but maybe D) and who want a non-fussy opening for nursing (no clips, just pull aside). At approx. $36 each, they aren’t cheap. But man are they worth it to me. http://shop.nurturecenter.com/japweekhugnu.html to see one. I found one at my local maternity store. Hope it helps someone!

@maria: The Anita model I like is the lace one. The microfiber one doesn’t fit me properly. And that’s good advice. I better go chuck some of my bras that are getting worn out!

@blythe: When I was in the US last Christmas, I went to Target and grabbed every piece of nursing apparel and headed for the changing room. Nothing worked! I was so bummed. I think I must have some strangely shaped body that is different from the majority of women.

I began wearing my original Bravado bras while I was pregnant, and wore them until they were practically falling off my body when T was eight months old. I am normally an A cup so size wasn’t a problem, though it was an adjustment for me to wear wide straps and need more coverage. But I never felt like the Bravado bras were too bulky, which I felt with some other brands.

The Target nursing tank tops were my secret weapons. I’ll second Maria’s endorsement — I wore them almost every day. I wore them at the hospital, I wore them to bed, I wore them under button-down shirts and dresses, they were awesome. I wasn’t always comfortable breaking out the boob in public (all those years in a conservative Christian hometown apparently stuck with my subconscious!) and the tank allowed for more coverage when I wanted it. They were Liz Lange brand when I bought them, but I think they’ve switched the brand to Gilligan & O’Malley and changed the cut a bit (they’re slightly wider and longer now).

I used Anita while I was in Germany and loved them. I do not remember the exact models, but one was microfiber and the other lace (I didn’t have 2 bras– 2 styles). I also had brought over some Liz Lange for Target nursing tanks. I consider those to be invaluable.

In the US, I use bras from mimi maternity– no underwire, cotton comfort– and the nursing tanks.

My bra advice– recognize when they are getting worn out and replace them.
