When should I get a nursing bra during pregnancy?

Your body goes through significant changes throughout pregnancy, and your breast size can shift right up until delivery and after milk comes in. For that reason, we recommend waiting until a few weeks before your due date — or within the first few weeks after delivery — to get fitted for your first nursing bra. This gives us the most accurate picture of your size needs for as much of your nursing journey as possible.

During pregnancy, we can also help you find comfortable bras with stretch cups designed to accommodate your changing shape in the months leading up to delivery. It's not uncommon to need a refit partway through your nursing journey as your body continues to adjust — and that's perfectly normal.

Allure also offers nursing bra conversions, where we can modify certain standard bra straps into a clip-down nursing configuration. Visit any location — no appointment needed.
