Most women experience an increase in their breast size during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Although this size change will vary greatly from woman to woman, it is usually at least one band size and one cup size. For example a woman who wore a pre-pregnancy size of 36c could expect to need at least a 38d.
A nursing mother needs to select the correct size to avoid mastitis and plugged milk ducts (which is not fun!). Some women use their regular bra and just pull up the cup to nurse. Unfortunately, the cup that is pulled up pushes on breast tissue and may cause plugged ducts and mastitis. Plus, it can be uncomfortable. Comfort is key, and as a nursing mama, you deserve it!! Also, wearing the correct nursing bra size will help prevent neck and shoulder aches and pains.
