Love them, so comfy and worth it and I've gotten so much use out of them I even started wearing them when my bras got too uncomfy with #2!</p> <p>As for around the house and sleeping, I just bought theses cheapie shelf bras from nordstroms rack. They look like those coobie bras but are like $5 a pop! I would just lift up my shirt or rank and the bra to nurse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bra-help#post-2225919 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 09:32:12 +0000 FaithFertility 2225919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: First, congratulations!!!!!! So happy for you and your baby girl! ♥</p> <p>Do you have a Burlington Coat Factory where you live?<br /> I found awesome nursing bras and shelf bras there for under 12 bucks :shocked:<br /> Maybe online as well!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bra-help#post-2225857 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 07:19:25 +0000 Foodnerd81 2225857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: also, when I tried to try on nursing bras at maybe a month postpartum, I started leaking while I was trying them on. Then I was trying to hold a nursing pad in them at the same time and it was just a fail. So that's another reason to wait a little... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bra-help#post-2225848 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 06:50:27 +0000 LindsayInNY 2225848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. J: Didn't think about that. Might have to hold out a bit then! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bra-help#post-2224819 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 10:37:56 +0000 Mrs. J 2224819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I waited longer. Even though my milk was in, I don't think at a week pp my size was stabilized. I started with bravado and tanks, and then got sized at Nordstrom and bought an Anita sized one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bra-help#post-2224582 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 08:24:18 +0000 snowjewelz 2224582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I honestly never bought a size bra... I just have nursing tanks and the nursing shelf bras! Not great in terms of support, but I kept stalling b/c I didn't know how nursing would work out! So now I'm too far along and just gonna wait till I wean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bra-help#post-2224577 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 08:21:59 +0000 pinkarmadillo 2224577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a few nursing bras on Zulily. I was a little hesitant but I am so glad I found them! The brand is Lamaze Maternity and I bought some of their sleeping bras and also wireless padded racerbacks. Didn't pay over $8.99 for them either! Keep a check and see if you can scoop some up. The padded racerbacks are my favorite. They hold me in and up but are really comfy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bra-help#post-2224576 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 08:21:00 +0000 avivoca 2224576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I slept in nursing tanks with nursing pads stuck where I needed them. I also highly recommend Soma nursing bras! Like @lawbee said, they are 2 for $59 and they are so worth it. I had one and I wore it for over a year. I got measured at my local store. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bra-help#post-2224572 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 08:17:55 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2224572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved the Gillian O'Malley nursing sleep tanks from Target and have continued to wear them even when not nursing. I have some of the nursing sleep bras as well. </p> <p>As for nursing bras - the ones I liked the best were Bravada body silk bras. I went to a local shop and got fitted for a nicer one to wear to work. It was an Anita brand which I liked pretty well, but it wasn't as comfortable as the non-underwire ones. <a href="http://www.nurturedfamily.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.nurturedfamily.com</a> is a good resource if you don't have a shop nearby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bra-help#post-2224522 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 07:44:01 +0000 youboots 2224522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the Cake nursing bras from Nordstrom. They are stretchy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bra-help#post-2224513 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 07:40:46 +0000 lawbee11 2224513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: Soma has nursing bras 2 for $59. I haven't tried one (because I didn't know about them at the time), but they're highly rated on the website. I have regular bras from Soma that I love. And if you sign up for their emails they'll send you a coupon for your first order. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bra-help#post-2224486 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 07:19:41 +0000 Foodnerd81 2224486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My size didn't settle until about two months or so after the birth. I bought a few target ones that came small medium large and used those until I got fitted for a better one at Nordstrom. </p> <p>For sleeping I got a pack of sleep bras from target, that cross and pull over, but I preferred to sleep in a nursing tank (also from target- sheesh). I actually and still sleeping in a target nursing tank even though we weaned in April and I'm 16 weeks pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bra-help#post-2224478 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 07:13:36 +0000 Smurfette 2224478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What @Ash said about the sleeping bras. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bra-help#post-2224470 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 06:58:46 +0000 Ash 2224470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Gillian O'Malley sleep bras at target are FABULOUS to sleep in! Toss in a nursing pad and you're good to go!</p> <p>No clue on the nursing bra though - I hate regular (nursing) bras when I'm BFing - they get in the way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bra-help#post-2224469 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 06:57:08 +0000 magnolia 2224469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got Mamajamas organic on Amazon. It's more like a sports bra. Perfect for sleeping in and nursing at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bra-help#post-2224456 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 06:40:58 +0000 SweetiePie 2224456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore the bravado silk nursing bras. I ordered the two sizes I could possibly be from Amazon and returned the one in smaller size. Tried it out for a week and when I loved it I ordered 2 or 3 more.<br /> You definitely need a few because of leakage, you'll be washing them more often and they hang dry.<br /> I was a 34DDD postpartum and the Large worked well. Good support but no wire and super comfy. I actually was sad when I didn't need them anymore! I wore them a long time even after I dried up until they were just too big. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bra-help#post-2224453 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 06:39:14 +0000 Adira 2224453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got measured at Motherhood. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bra-help#post-2224451 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 06:38:24 +0000 MrsBrewer 2224451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: no idea on the bras, I'm still searching! </p> <p>But for sure wear nursing pads! They are a life saver! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bra-help#post-2224418 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 05:52:14 +0000 hellobeeboston 2224418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: I just got one from Target that was a decent price. I didn't love it, but I knew it would be short term. After the initial shock of the big boobs,, they got smaller after the first month or so. I mostly stuck with nursing tanks. I also had to wear nursing pads the entire time I nursed since I constantly leaked. So at night I usually wore a nursing tank with pads on both sides. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bra-help#post-2224410 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 05:41:29 +0000 LindsayInNY 2224410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been wearing nursing tanks since we got home because I didn't know what bra size I would need. I think my milk is just about fully in so I need to start thinking of a bra. I'm not huge in the chest and hate the idea of paying $50+ for a bra. Where do I begin? How do I know what size I am? Any good but reasonably priced/inexpensive places for them? And while I'm asking, what do I sleep in now that the mild leaking has begun. </p>
