Friday Favourite – Nursing Bra’s

on February 8, 2013

I am going through the first tiring few weeks of breastfeeding my little girl and any mother that has breastfed knows a good nursing bra/s is/are essential!

Following the birth of my little girl I was very kindly contacted by the lovely Karen at Boobie Milk, who offered to send me one of their Carriwell Seamless Drop Cup Nursing Bras to try. This was perfect timing as my little girl had arrived 5 weeks early, as many of my readers will know, and as a result I hadn’t had chance to go get measured for my nursing bras and was using my old ones (which wasn’t ideal as I didn’t know what size I currently was and I was certainly popping out of some of them!)

Carriwell Nursing Bra

I took them up on their very kind offer, having not tried Carriwell before, and I have to say I was really pleased with the fit and design of the bra and have decided to feature it as my Friday Favourite for this week

I like the seamless design of the bra as it can be worn under tight fitting clothing without it showing through and it’s great for both night and day! The bra doesn’t have an underwire (which can sometimes aggravate during pregnancy and breastfeeding) but instead, the wide underband provides extra support and lift.There’s a simple one handed release clasp for easy nursing and the 3 hook and eye on the back makes the bra very comfortable and ensures extra support.

The BoobieMilk website also explains a few more key features:

The silky soft breathable microfiber fabric moulds to your changing body, whilst skin-to-skin contact between mom and baby is maximised during nursing due to the unique non-inner, cup design. This bares your entire breast when the front cup is lowered providing total skin-to-skin contact, thus enhancing and adding to your joyous nursing experience!”

Until 17th February 2013 you can get the red Carriwell Seamless Nursing Bra and Hipster Pants as a set for only £25 on the BoobieMilk website and you can also enter their competition via the BoobieMilk Facebook page to win a custom made Breast Milk Keepsake too.

    I found these to be very comfy but offer very little support. Ideal to sleep in or even pj day, but I couldn’t wear these out. I’m now. 36F but was a DD-E when I tried them during pregnancy.
