We offer professional bra fittings for nursing bras right here in our store. Our highly trained staff is well-versed in the specific measurements and fit requirements for nursing bras, and we have a private fitting room available to ensure your comfort and privacy during the process. The fitting will involve taking precise measurements of your band size, bust size, and cup size to determine the most accurate fit for your nursing bra.
It’s important to note that getting measured for a nursing bra should be done at least once during pregnancy as well as after giving birth, since breast size can change significantly during this time. We recommend scheduling an appointment with us for a fitting around 36 weeks into your pregnancy or 6-8 weeks postpartum to ensure that you are wearing a properly fitted nursing bra during this crucial period.
A common misconception is that any regular bra measurement will suffice for a nursing bra. However, due to the unique design and functionality of nursing bras, they require specific measurements and considerations such as additional support, easy access for breastfeeding, and adjustable sizing options.
A less-known fact is that wearing an ill-fitted nursing bra can lead to discomfort, clogged ducts, or mastitis while breastfeeding. This makes it essential to get professionally measured for a nursing bra by experts who understand the intricacies of proper fit during this particular stage of life.
The next step after learning about where you can get measured for a nursing bra is setting up an appointment with us so we can provide you with personalized recommendations based on your individual needs and body type. It’s always better to be proactive in ensuring the best possible comfort and support throughout your journey into motherhood.
