Must-have Comfortable, easy-access bras are worth it if you'll nurse or pump. Sizes change in the first weeks, so start with two.
Secondhand: Buy new. Buy new.
Typical use: about 12 months.
Tip: Buy one or two before birth and more once your milk comes in and your size settles.
Breast size often changes in the first weeks of feeding, so stretchy, wire-free bras with one-handed clips are the common pick. Testers compare support, fabric feel, washing instructions and the size range offered. If you plan to pump, check for pumping slits or clip-in support.
BabyGearLab's top-rated nursing bra: silky, supportive and sold in extended cup sizes up to K. Testers found the cup clips stiff and the foam inserts tend to shift.
A wireless, seamless bra that stretches with size changes and opens with one hand. It topped both The Bump's and Mommyhood101's tests; it's hand wash only and has no pumping slits.
A cheap multipack for nights and spares. Mommyhood101 liked the price and washable pads, but BabyGearLab ranked it near the bottom for quality and fit.
