When to Buy Nursing Bras

So the big question for new mothers intending to breastfeed is: When should you buy your nursing bras?

From my personal experience, you should consider getting a few nursing bras (maybe about 3) very close to delivery. Perhaps around 2-4 weeks beforehand. Not too early as your breasts tend to become more swollen closer to delivery. Not too late too, as you may find yourself without any when you are heading to the hospital.

So what type should you buy? You may want to consider getting some cheap ones to last about a month or so (for confinement). Why cheap ones? Because most times your breast size changes and you won't want to waste money. Also because some mothers do give up breastfeeding beyond the first month and it will be such a waste spending too much. You can get some easily from OG maternity section. I found some at OG at Middle Road. They cost something like $10. Don't expect too much mileage from these though, as the elastic probably doesn't last beyond washes more than 3 months. Save your money for good quality ones a few months later when your breast size stabilises.
