The basic rule is: whether sexy, sportive, practical, with or without underwire - it's your decision which type of nursing bra you choose. The most important thing is your comfort and the size of your breasts. Under no circumstances should the milk ducts and glands around the breast be pinched off.
Breast consultation should include:
- Measurement of the under- and overbust
- Determination of the cup size
With or without a wire?
As long as you feel comfortable, there is nothing wrong with underwired nursing bras during breastfeeding.
The requirement is that they fit perfectly around the breast and that the underwires do not pinch or cut in, as this could lead to milk retention.
...provided they are fitted correctly and worn during the intended stages of pregnancy and post. The wires of normal bras are designed to keep the bra in a rigid structure. The flexible wires engineered are softer, wider and deeper than the regular type. If fitted correctly, the wires should be sitting on or close to the chest wall and not any part of the breast tissue
