Here’s what to consider in your quest for nursing bra bliss:

• How many nursing bras do I need?
  We recommend buying 3-5 of your favorite everyday bra – the style you'll reach for over and over again - and then adding a few special styles such as a strapless nursing bra or sports nursing bra that meet specific occasional needs. If you sleep with a bra on, you'll need 3-5 nursing sleep bras as well. A nursing sleep bra is good to keep on hand even if you don't sleep with one. This super comfy style is great for lounging around and it you're engorged or sore, it might be the most comfortable option. Keep your lingerie drawer exciting by including at least one fun or sexy nursing bra in your collection.


• When do you recommend light support, and which styles are best?
  Light support is best for sleep. Smaller busted women may find that a light support nursing bra is all that’s required.
