How to Choose the Perfect Nursing Bra During Pregnancy and  Breastfeeding

How Do You Know What Nursing Bra Size to Buy?

The best way to know your nursing bra size is by measuring your bust and the surrounding areas during pregnancy and after childbirth. Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Measure your bust circumference, that is, the fullest part of your bust. E.g., 90 cm

Step 2: Measure your underbust, the area below your breast. E.g., 86 cm

Step 3: Subtract the bust measurement from your underbust measurement. E.g., 90 cm - 86 cm = 14 cm.

• 14 cm - 16 cm: Cup B

• 17 cm - 19 cm: Cup C

• 20 cm - 21 cm: Cup D

• 22 cm - 24 cm: Cup E (DD)

• 25 cm - 27 cm: Cup F (DDD)
