Bra question

[squizita]

Lots of books and shops obviously cause they want to sell say to buy your nursing bras in advance. But how would you know how much your boobs will swell? Surely it varies wildly from woman to woman?

But on the other hand... if I wait till my milk comes in ... how on earth will I get down to Debenhams with 2 leaky melons running wild under my top and a teeny little baby?

Get yourself some soft/sleep nursing bras for the first couple of weeks. When things have settled down a bit you can just measure yourself and order some bras, or the NCT do a home bra fitting service too.

Thanks! Will get some soft bras, thanks!

Exactly what I was going to say - Mothercare do decent stretchy sleep bras that are grand for the first few weeks.

At home presumably you can feed braless until you have time and energy to get out and buy a feeding bra (or use a home service). Seems pointless buying one before as you may not end up breastfeeding and as you say guessing the size is tricky.
