My daughter was asking me about nursing bras the other day. I told her it's been a really long time since I needed one of those but I'd do some research and see if I could find information about different brands, or maybe recommendations from someone who's actually used one in this decade. Can I count on anyone here to recommend something? I'm sure there are many to choose from. She's a jeans and tee's kind of girl, so comfort is high on her priority list.

Crafty one here..lol They can be expensive, so buy a couple of regular bras, cut a square, leaving the bottom piece hanging. Them sew some velco to the outside of the cup and on the inside of the piece cut. Really, it's an inexpensive way in getting around the expensive bra's.

I breast fed and I was a loose top kind of gal. I only bought one nursing bra that I wore out for things like Dr's appointment, shopping, or family get togethers. Otherwise I just wore new, regular bra's with loose straps at home.

What a clever idea seekerlady. I'll have to tell Jamie about that. One question though... does the velcro cause any irritation? And, what about leakage, do you have suggestions for that?

I invested in good nursing bras. Went to a specialty shop for pregnant women. I couldn't afford it. I did it anyway. Some things you really just shouldn't cheap on. If you are going to give yourself to your baby that way for the best for him, for crap sake, do the best for you. Take her somewhere to be fit and get the best most supportive, easiest to use maternity/nursing bra she can find.
