To measure your feeding bra size, you will need a soft measuring tape and take two measurements: one around your rib cage just under your bust, and the other around the fullest part of your breasts. Make sure the measuring tape is snug but not too tight as this will give you an accurate measurement. Once you have these measurements, calculate the difference between the two. For every inch of difference, that corresponds to a cup size (i.e. 1 inch = A cup, 2 inches = B cup, and so on). For example, if your underbust measurement is 32 inches and overbust measurement is 36 inches, then you would be a D cup.
It’s important to note that bra sizing can vary between brands and styles. We recommend trying on several different sizes within our store to ensure a perfect fit. Our expert staff can also help guide you through the fitting process to make sure you find a comfortable nursing bra that provides adequate support without causing discomfort or pain during breastfeeding.
A common misconception when measuring for a feeding bra is simply relying on old measurements or guessing your size based on how clothes fit. The actual truth is that pregnancy and breastfeeding can cause significant changes in breast size and shape, so it’s crucial to measure yourself regularly throughout this time period to ensure the best possible fit for comfort and support.
An interesting less-known fact about finding the right feeding bra size is that many women experience fluctuations in breast size throughout the day due to milk production and letdown reflexes while breastfeeding. Knowing about this can be useful because it highlights why it’s essential to choose bras with stretchy fabric or adjustable straps for flexibility as well as considering multiple bras for different times of day when breasts may be larger or smaller.
