Bigger Bras for Breastfeeding: Buying Nursing Bras in Sizes DD E F G H and I

Not all bras are created equal and especially nursing bras that need to not only support but prevent plugged milk ducts and give easy nursing access all while looking great.  The good news is that they are out there if you know what you are looking for.

One of our new favorites for moms with cup sizes up to DDD or F cup is the QT Natalie Nursing Bra.  It is a great wire free solution with good support for larger busts and is available in sizes 34D-44DDD/F.  We like the smooth look and easy fit of this bigger nursing bra as well.




If you are looking for a bigger underwire nursing bra, QT Foundations offers an excellent choice is the Dottie Nursing Bra style #3325.  This nursing bra for larger cups offers great coverage and support in sizes 34G-42H.

For our curvier moms, they appreciate that the 40, 42 and 44 bands come in the bigger nursing bra sizes of 42D through 44F and 44G nursing bra sizes thanks to QT Foundations!



As for a 24 hour bigger sleep nursing bra for sleep and leisure, the Bravado Original Double Plus Nursing Bra is the way to go since there are no hooks in the back to be uncomfortable for sleep and it is styled in a way that has a sport bra appearance which keeps you from falling out when you are lying on your side.  Bravado has recently updated this style to offer a lower front and narrower racerback to allow you to wear with today's fashions.







So if you are still searching for a hard-to find nursing bra size, check out this shop by size link or give us a call at 800-216-8151 and ask to speak to a nursing bra fitting specialist.  We have over 20 years experience in fitting your changing shape at Lactation Connection.

Troubleshooting your Spectra Breast Pump: Spectra Flange Size

How do you know when you need a different breast flange size? Spectra breast pumps include the most commonly fitted flange size, 24mm breastshields . Although this is the most common size, many women will fit better in other sizes. A properly sized breast shield aka breast flange is important to ensure the best performance of your pump and the most milk output. An improperly fitted breast shield can hinder milk supply and cause discomfort. To determine the shield size you need, pump for five minutes using the standard size provided with your breast pump. Your nipple will expand while milk is being expressed, therefore it is important to measure after five minutes of pumping so that the size you select will provide adequate room.

Why Fenugreek Isn't Working for Breastfeeding

     The truth is fenugreek is a great tool to boost milk supply in most moms.  However, in the two decades that I have been helping nursing moms, I get this comment a lot, "Fenugreek didn't work for me."  How can it be that an herb with such great success stories doesn't work for a large number of mothers.  In most cases, the answer is in the quality, dosage or delivery method.      Many moms buy Fenugreek at a local health food or grocery store in brands that are not stored or bottled in the best way to keep them at full potency.  Also, shelf life factors into this so buying from a store that doesn't cater to the largest market for Fenugreek, nursing mothers, will not have the best turn-around.  It is always a good practice to check the expiration date on any herb before using.  Fenugreek capsules work best when taken in a quality brand like Nature's Herbs or Nature's Way Fenugreek and in the appropriate dosage or...
