How to choose a bra for feeding - choose a bra
A young woman, barely aware of her pregnancy, begins to consider what clothes, footwear and toilet items she will need to properly nurse and feed the unborn child. According to the advice of gynecologists, you need to choose a bra for feeding a couple of weeks before the birth, when the breast acquires the true size. It occurs approximately on 36-38 week of pregnancy.
What requirements should it meet
- Convenience. His cut, material, quality and hygiene should be such that it is comfortable to feed the baby, as well as relax or do household chores.
- Sufficient width of the strapless. Narrow straps cause discomfort, bumping into the skin of the nursing mother. Wide and comfortable shoulder straps support the poured breast, keep it in shape and do not allow the appearance of stretch marks.
- Cups of a nursing bra should be easily opened so that the mother can comfortably feed the crumb without removing this part of the underwear.
- Choosing a bra for feeding, you need to pay attention to how it opens the cup. There are several ways:
- If the cup is unfastened from above, only the nipple or the mammary gland can be opened completely. The second kind is preferable, since the contact of mother and child is an important and useful component of their communication.
- Models with a zipper that releases the breast completely, should have valves that prevent the breast from being squeezed.
Where to buy a bra and how to guess with its size?
The main condition for a competent choice of this device is that it should nicely fit and support the filling breast, in no case should it be squeezed or squeezed, as this can lead to stagnation and disappearance( "burning out") of the milk. A stretchable elastic bra can be purchased and worn before and after delivery. And bras with cotton cups are selected strictly after the birth of a crumb, otherwise there is a risk of making a mistake with the size. How to define it? Easily!
Measure the centimeter tape around the body under the chest, then measure the chest circumference along the most convex points( the fullness of the cups).We subtract the first from the second result and get the standard size by which any seller will pick up the corresponding bra. Marking A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H means the difference in girths in centimeters: 13-15-17-19-21-23-25-27.That is, the size A assumes a value of 13 cm, and H - 27.
A wide range of bras for feeding is easy to find in shops for pregnant women, specialized children's markets, some pharmacies. When buying in markets and online stores, there is a risk not to guess with the size of the product you are buying without fitting. It is necessary to give preference to bras for feeding the baby from reliable and reliable manufacturers, whose quality meets all the requirements.
