When it comes to nursing bras, timing and fit both matter. Most moms-to-be can start shopping in the third trimester, but remember that your body can continue to change after birth.
Our tip? Start with a few comfortable essentials and give yourself room to adjust as you settle into feeding your little one.
Save this for your third-trimester checklist!
Accuracy note: Breast size and milk production vary, so the timing is a general guideline rather than a rule. A nursing bra should never feel tight or compressive, especially when your milk is coming in.
