My favorite Nursing Bras

Once I was ready to graduate from the super comfortable Nusing Tanks from Target into something more supportive, I had a really hard time finding something. I spent a lot of money testing out bras and really wasn't happy with their support, style, the way they would look after a wash, etc. So, I conducted my own research and here are my favorites: 

Target's Gillian & O'Malley Nursing Tank. These are great to layer with. I also purchase a bunch of open front sweaters/sweatshirts so it was easier to nurse. I don't recommend putting these in the dryer and I found that because of the engorgement a size up that you usually wear is much more comfortable. 


After I decided to rejoin society it became pretty clear that I would need to start wearing a bra that was actually supportive. I looked high and low but found it challenging to find something that was comfortable, didn't feel like a nursing bra and supportive for my new size D friends. The good news is, I found them all at the Motherhood Maternity/Pea in the Pod chain. 


This bra is a great everyday bra. Super comfortable and supportive. Click here. 


I love this bra, because since most days I am in athletic/lounge wear and I love a very supportive bra. 


Lastly, for my big nights house, for the love - I needed something with an underwire! I've been really happy with this bra. They don't recommend wearing bras with underwire while nursing since they will increase the chances of a clogged duct. Click here.
