When you become a parent, so many baby products enter your orbit that you can't be blamed for wanting to cut back anywhere you can. But even if you already have an overflowing bra drawer, picking up a few bras for breastfeeding is still essential. The best full coverage nursing bras do more than support your larger, heavier breasts that seemed to have grown overnight while you were pregnant. They're also soft, comfortable, flexible, and are made especially to accommodate the changes that occur as your milk production comes in and goes out after each feeding.
When it comes to choosing a great bra for breastfeeding, there are a few things to keep in mind. A nursing bra should be roomy enough to never constrict your breasts, and has features like secure hook-and-eye closure and no-slip shoulder straps. You should also be able to easily open and close the cups for quick, no-fuss feedings, and the fabrics used must be able to withstand a bit of leakage and be easy to wash.
Many moms prefer the comfort and security of full coverage nursing bras that provide complete support. And these seven nursing bras are some of the best you can buy online.
