Finding nursing bras and clothes in plus-sizes can be difficult. The good news is that more and more manufacturers are beginning to understand the need for these items.

When shopping for nursing bras, make sure you are fitted for one before you buy it if possible. Look for bras that have padded shoulder straps that do not cut into your skin. Choose bras that have large flaps that completely cover the opening. Make sure the hooks on the flaps are easy to operate with one hand and avoid any bras that feel uncomfortable. Cotton is the most breathable material.
