Top Maternity/Nursing Bras
Tutti Fruitti Nursing Bra
The maternity and nursing bra has come a long way; so much so that there are so many on the market now it can be hard to choose. It can be tempting to go budget on a bra, thinking you aren’t going to wear them all that long. But the truth is, a fantastic, comfortable nursing bra will take you from pregnancy (where your bust is constantly changing and rib cage expanding) through nursing, which for many is a LONG time…time where comfort is key.
We are guilty of not realizing the importance of a quality maternity and nursing bra during our first pregnancies, ordering the value multi-pack on Amazon. We were left feeling frumpy and matronly, which postpartum, when you’re already looking a little rough from the late night feedings, just adds insult to injury. It’s amazing what a sexy, cute nursing bra will do to pick you up—mentally AND literally! Here are our top maternity bras that accommodate your changing bust-line now and transition into a super nursing bra postpartum. Even the sexy ones feel luxuriously comfortable and the sportier ones are so indulgently soft they feel sexy.

This bra has everything you need, and then some. It's crafted from a super soft, breathable, and absorbent bamboo yarn that makes it incredibly comfortable. The seamless yarn knit has a micro-rib texture, making it stretchy and accommodating throughout your pregnancy and fluctuations when breastfeeding.
Despite being wire-free, it has a mimic frame system that provides ample support, giving you a great shape. It's also a multi-cup fitting bra, with options for petite (B-DD/E) and busty (F-H) sizes, ensuring that you get the right fit when ordering online.
The racerback design makes it versatile and practical, allowing you to wear it to bed or under tanks with bare shoulders without worrying about straps slipping off. The cups are memory foam plunge triangles, perfect for low-cut t-shirts or any other tees.
To add a touch of feminine charm to the sporty racerback, the bra features a cute lace edge. You can choose from three tones - Rust, Black, Mocha - depending on your mood. This bra is a must-have for any pregnant or nursing mom looking for comfort, support, versatility, and style.

Croissant T-Shirt Nursing Bra
This everyday essential is a top seller from Cake Maternity, and for a good reason - it's available in over 50 sizes, and it's both comfortable and flattering. The flexi-wired t-shirt 3D molded spacer bra offers a great shape, and the sueded peach skin microfiber fabric is incredibly soft to the touch.
The flexi-wire used in this bra was designed with nursing moms in mind, as it's made with a pliable alloy that twists in four directions. The shape of the wire has a deeper and wider smile, providing ample room for nursing boobs without any encroachment on your breast tissue.
For nursing moms, the drop-down cups feature a clever folded-edge A-frame sling that supports and holds the breast in place without digging in. These slings add to the support and shape of the bust, ensuring that you feel comfortable and confident all day long.
One of the standout features of this bra is the 3D spacer layer, which provides a breathable contour shape without adding any bulk. It's also stretchy, making it perfect for fluctuation. With five hook-and-eye closures, this bra can adjust up to 1.5 band sizes, ensuring that you get the perfect fit. The grippy straps stay in place once adjusted, providing additional support and comfort.
Available in Black and Beige, both with contrast micro bits of fluorescent highlights, this bra is as stylish as it is functional. Whether you're looking for a comfortable nursing bra or a flattering t-shirt bra, this one ticks all the boxes.
Lotus Hands-Free Pumping Bra by Cake Maternity
(Use code NURTURED for 15% off)
Lotus Hands-Free Pumping Bra
This bra does it all - whether you need a sports bra, a sleep bra, or a pumping bra, this one's got you covered. It's funky and versatile, making it perfect for the weekend, nighttime wear, or pumping.
Keep in mind that this bra doesn't have any nursing clips, so if you need to nurse, you'll have to pull it aside. Additionally, there are no strap adjustments, making it ideal for yoga, floor workouts, or sleeping without any uncomfortable bits digging into your skin.
Designed to fit a range of cup sizes, this bra comes in both petite (B-DD) and busty (E-FF) sizes. This multi-cup fitting system ensures that you get the perfect fit when ordering online, regardless of your size.
If you plan on using this pumping bra with an in-cup pump, we recommend going up a cup size to avoid any unwanted pressure. Choose from three stylish colors - Tie-Dye, Black, or Blush - to match your personal style. Whether you're running errands or relaxing at home, this bra is the ultimate all-in-one solution.

Why We Love This Gift:
Baby is here! After months of growing a little human, mom-to-be is officially mom, and she is head-over-heels in love. Overjoyed as she may be…she is also exhausted, physically uncomfortable, and most likely a little overwhelmed at times, too. That beautiful baby has arrived with a lot of adorable needs, and while new mom is thrilled to step up to the challenge, she is also recovering from labor or surgery and trying to navigate the new task of breastfeeding (if that’s how she’s feeding her baby), all while running on very little sleep. It is a physical and emotional roller coaster!
The Replenish and Restore New Mom/Postpartum Recovery Gift Box is a care package for natural labor and C-section moms that has been thoughtfully curated to include an assortment of elevated yet practical items that are perfectly well suited for a new mom during her “fourth trimester”. From nursing discomforts (like sore nipples, extreme thirst, and privacy concerns) to middle-of-the-night feedings to postpartum hair loss (yup, it’s a thing). This new mom care package is full of beautiful items to help this new mama feel more comfortable in her skin, and help you show HER just how much you care. The nursery is full of items for baby – this postpartum recovery gift box is just for mama!
