Bubba Bump shares why expecting Australian mothers should switch from regular bras to maternity and nursing bras for improved comfort, health and breastfeeding success throughout their journey.
- Wire-free comfort prevents irritation.
- Design differs: adjustable, soft, no wires.
- Wider support alleviates back pain.
- Clips and lining aid nursing/leaks.
It’s early days in your pregnancy, and your breasts are beginning to change, becoming heavier, more sensitive and preparing for their vital role. This means it is time to switch to a maternity or nursing bra specifically designed to support your evolving body.
If you want to remember this journey as one of comfort, health and breastfeeding success, we share the wisdom behind pregnancy comfort wear, such as maternity bras.
Why You Need a Maternity Bra During Pregnancy
The World Health Organization advises breastfeeding for babies up to 6 months of age and for breastfeeding to continue alongside suitable foods for up to 2 years and beyond. This means you need supportive maternity wear that lasts.
A wire-free bra with soft, seamless cups prevents chafing and irritation while your breasts are in this sensitive stage. They offer the following benefits:
- Soft, breathable materials, often cotton or bamboo blends.
- Stretchy, multi-fit fabric designed to accommodate your changing body.
- Support without compression, promoting healthy blood flow.
What is the Difference Between a Maternity Bra and a Regular Bra?
You will notice a difference in the design of a nursing bra when you shop at any Australian baby and maternity product store. It allows growth while allowing gentle support. Regular fashion bras can be rigid, with stiff underwires that are uncomfortable and stifling during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Maternity bras offer:
- Soft or completely wire-free design to prevent pressure on developing milk ducts, which is crucial for reducing the risk of conditions like mastitis.
- Extra rows of hooks for loosening the bra as your ribcage expands during pregnancy and tightening it again postpartum.
- Wider straps and underbands to relieve strain on your shoulders and back.
- Easy-release clips to drop the cup down with a single hand.
- Cotton-lining to securely hold a nursing pad, keeping you dry and comfortable between feeds.
Pair your maternity bra with organic nursing breast pads for added comfort.
Can a Maternity Bra Help with Back Pain and Posture During Pregnancy?
A good quality maternity bra from an Australian baby and maternity product store will definitely provide relief from back pain due to the intelligent design and manufacturing that prioritises support.
Once your beautiful bub arrives, a nursing bra becomes an indispensable tool, so it’s important to shop at a trusted store, like Bubba Bump, for pregnancy comfort wear that offers premium value organic supportive maternity wear.
