And it's not that you aren't sexy and beautiful...but you just had a baby and probably are feeling unattractive, and maybe you're even feeling smelly and leaky. Your body has changed and trust me, it will be a while until it's the way it used to be again.
In the meantime, we think that some new nursing bras that fit and function while you breastfeed and pump will help you to feel more confident. You may even be able to embrace this new beautiful version of you!
We understand what it's like being a new mom. We've been there!
For a free fitting with no obligation to buy, add this item to the shopping cart and check out. If you have a specific time in mind, like during your lactation consultation at your home, put it in the notes at checkout. Donna will contact you for an appointment.
Buying a bra is hard enough.
There are all the subtle, and not so subtle, traumas of being "too big" or "not big enough" and there's your unsettling new body--stretch marks, bulging tummy, leaky breasts, and more.
Donna will make you feel comfortable and at ease throughout the fitting. You will be measured over your clothes and she leaves the room while you are changing. She will only see you wearing bras you feel comfortable showing her. You can even put your shirt back over it, if you feel most comfortable that way.
Compare this to online ordering.
Shopping online is trying to hit a moving target. Bras vary tremendously even when they are the same size. Your breasts also vary in size from week-to-week, and often from hour to hour.
It's not always easy to find bra to fit your ever-changing body! It's no wonder 70% of women wear the wrong size bra. And they have purchased a dozen or so bras they will NEVER wear.
If you are pregnant and uncomfortable.
You could use some new bras that feel good now. We have attractive and comfortable bras that grow with you through your pregnancy, give you support when your breasts fill up with milk, and allow you easy access to breastfeed your baby. We have bras that stretch and shrink to accommodate your breasts growth in pregnancy and the day-to-day change in size.
If you have a baby, you could probably use a hand, as well as a comfortable bra.
You have a baby. You have a diaper bag. You are breastfeeding, so in theory, you don't need bottles. (In theory.) You have a car. You even have a credit card.
Let's just say you spend the better part of an hour getting to the mall. You park, put the baby in the stroller, find the bra store and start to browse the nursing bras. Your baby starts to fuss, then cry.
You know he needs to nurse and you can do that in the dressing room, but you need the bra.
"Do you have this in larger than a double D?"
And the salesgirl says... "No, I am sorry, we don't." and then delivers the punch line that makes you want to cry, "Wow! You are really enormous!"
Maybe you don't really need a new bra?
Take a look in the mirror:
1. Your bra should fit firmly and comfortably around your body, fastened on the middle adjustment, without digging in.
2. Shoulder straps are snug but not cutting in
3. Your breasts fit within the cup with room for changes in fullness during the day
4. The center front should be reasonably close to your chest wall.
5. Not too tight and no gaping at underarm edges
6. It feels good and looks good
7. No red marks when you take it off-- pale pink is OK
If you find that does not describe your bra, you can make an appointment to have your fit checked and try something new.
Here's how it works:
1. We talk about what you want and find you a bra,
- In a size that feels good. We stock from 32 A to 48 L
- In a material and style that looks and feels attractive and does what you need it to do - breastfeed, pump, sleep, exercise, go to work, and/or feel pretty.
- At the price you want to pay. (We're shoppers, too!)
2. We hold your baby (if you want), so you can relax and take your time. And you can take nursing breaks to keep your baby happy.
3. You have complete privacy in a private room that is big enough for you, your best friend, your mom, and your stroller. Or you can have a fitting at home.
4. We run back and forth with different size bras, until you find the bra you love and are COMPLETELY HAPPY.
5. You don't have to be measured (but we do recommend it because it saves time.)
6. We will get you the right fitting bra. And we'll do it without seeing you undressed. (Phew.)
