Cotton Nursing Bra

Gentle for you and your baby

A nursing bra is an essential item to make breast feeding as convenient and comfortable as possible for both mother and baby.  It is a good idea to choose a nursing bra with high cotton composition for comfort. The natural, gentle and breathable material of cotton is not only very comfortable but can also minimise any risk of irritation and infection. Breasts can often feel hot and uncomfortable when nursing and the cotton material will help keep them cool. Cotton Nursing bra’s are not only durable and gentle but they are also extremely easy to care for.

You’ll need at least two or three nursing bras. Because when you are constantly producing milk, you will need to wash your bras frequently, even if you are using a breast pad to soak up the excess.

It is important to have a nursing bra with cups that open separately for easy access to help when nursing.  It also helps as you can open the bra with one hand whilst holding the baby.

The best time to buy your nursing bra is towards the very end of your pregnancy (around 36 weeks is ideal), otherwise the fit will be wrong after the birth. A good fit is also essential to having a comfortable nursing bra.
