7 Reasons You'll Want That Nursing Bra Sooner Than Later

Since the 1943, when the first nursing bra was patented by Albert A. Glasser, according to an article by Wikipedia.org, women have enjoyed added comfort and support while nursing children and or pregnant. As the years have passed, countless changes have been made to the design, its constituents and its overall couture. Learn the top seven reasons why you never want to be without one. Comfort Most bras are not made from the same breathable fabric as a nursing bra is. Your breasts will overheat while creating milk; that's a fact. This means that standard bras leave you sweaty and messy whereas a nursing bra helps you remain cool and comfortable. Support It's all about support. Without ample support, you will be in much pain during this transition period. For example, your lower back will bear much of the brunt of the weight of your breasts while they are heavy with milk. If you are not fond of this taking place, then provide the support that your breasts require from the very start. Sleep Swollen, achy breasts need firm support when sleeping. Unless you are only fond of sleeping on your back, you will want a nursing bra to enable you to enjoy sleeping on your side while pregnant or nursing. Milk Pads It's no fun topic, but nursing can be messy business. In the middle of the night, your breasts can start producing milk that leaks and stains clothing. For that matter, it can occur at nearly any time. Strategically positioned milk pads prevent this calamity and save outfits. No Underwire An underwire is bad news when you are pregnant or nursing. The wire can block the milk ducts resulting in bacterial infection that can be passed on to the feeding infant. Avoid metal underwires at all costs when pregnant or nursing. Easy Feeding A nursing bra is designed to make nursing easier for you. One of the key features on these bras is the front easy-open clasp. This allows you to hold your baby with one arm while you easily open your bra with the other when feeding time arrives. Adjustable Hooks One simple feature that's inclusive of most nursing bras is the adjustable hooks. These are hooks that enable you to adjust the size of the bra as you need to. Since breasts can drastically change in shape and in size during and after pregnancy, you will assuredly want this convenient feature.
